I can understand thinning the class to bring in some guys that can contribute immediately, but like others have said why cut one of our more promising 4* commits when we have a ton of questionable 3*? Plus Cotman is listed as an ATH and has a stellar offer list. It just doesn't make sense.
And I'm just going to be pissed off when we go and get another iffy, lower ranked player with a 50/50 chance to succeed and only 2 years of eligibility, when we had a promising, talented young man who loved Tennessee. The administration shouldn't allow him to run this program into the ground just to save his reputation and job. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong.
