This may actually help if any of the recruits that signed are still thinking about sticking with UT. If a player signs a LOI with a SEC school, if they transfer to another SEC school, they cannot receive financial aid for two years (this is why you see kids transfer to juco before coming back to the SEC). I don't see any if those released going the Juco route, so you can mark off their destination being in the SEC. So, at least we won't have to play them.

No, the rule states that if the recruits have signed a financial aid agreement (called the grant-in aid) that they can not play on scholarship at another SEC school for the next two seasons.

A Letter of Intent and a Grant-In Aid are two separate documents.

The SEC rules state that they cannot play at another member institution like the OP said.

Even thought the LOI is separate of the grant in aid, it is unlikely that they did not sign both already. Both were more than likely signed at the same time.

But you can get a waiver from the commish and bypass the rule.

Jalen Steele signed with Mississippi State after being released from his LOI with Auburn after Lebo was fired.

I wouldn't be surprised if Turman ended up at Georgia or Alabama. Both have an open scholly.

Alabama fans talking a lot of stuff about getting Cofer. They say when you have a coaching change the rules do not apply.
