Chris Jones will officially ask out of his LOI on Tuesday

i wouldnt release anyone. They are making a stupid decision based on emotion, and they arent even considering that we might hire someone better. If they waited til they knew who we were hiring and met with him, then id be ok with releasing them.

There is no rule saying they cant be recruited by the new coach. Not like allowing them to be released terminates all contact between both parties.

i dont care about that. I think the kid should be allowed to make the decision he wants to make. However, i think he should at least have to meet the coach and stuff first.

I agree with you, the kid should wait until the next coach is hired. However, making a stand like this as an institution puts a bad taste in the mouths of other big time recruits. ITs really not a battle worth fighting in the end.

That's how I feel as well.

And what did this kid base his initial decision to come to UT on - other than the promises made to him by one Bruce Pearl???? I cannot understand how you can advocate that this 18-19 year old should be held in bondage based upon a commitment that he made to a "father figure" who is no longer here. I agree wholeheartedly with Donkey - much much more damage done by witholding a release under circumstances like this.
 
Have you seen their boards? Its a joke, bunch of delusional tiger fans jealous of UT and the SEC.

jealous of a school who has 1/2 the NCAA tournament wins we do?

jealous of a school who's best run is history was overshadowed by a supposed inferior in-state school?

At least we have a really good history in the sport we take seriously.

Not surprised a Memphis fan gets his ass handed to him by 30 this year and starts talking chit.

Your responding to that post indicates a pretty serious level of insecurity. We'll take handing your ass to you on a consistent basis and being in a BCS conference. Have fun with Tulsa and Rice.
