I know, I know, it's just a RUMOR, but what if...

Life does have a way of eventually evening out. Here is a big opportunity for players to step up and make a difference.

And that's really the only sane and healthy way to react to this punch in the gut. Our best move is to look forward and focus on those positive things we can muster up. The number one recruiting class in the country is a good start.

Like Dorothy, it's imperative for each of us to close our eyes, click our heals and say, "I believe." We really have no other option as far as the immediate future is concerned.

Only other bad news that could happen from here would be if Westbrook doesn't come or Russell leaves and I don't see either happening.

Do Jaime or MR have the option to graduate transfer, or is too late because they are in summer sessions?

I don't know what's going on within the inner circle of the program, so I probably won't feel a sense of elief until the season starts.

It's definitely an opportunity for the three freshman (excluding KK) to get a lot of PT alongside Tennessee's best, most experienced players. This also works out for MeMe, who would have likely seen reduced PT if DD, Te'a, and Alexa stuck around.

My concern is that this turns into a Kentucky redux and the bad news is not finished...

Yes... I see the concern. Let's hope not!

I'll just come out and say it - DD's loss will obviously be bad in the short term but should pay significant dividends moving past the 2017-2018 season.

I believe history will show that DD was not a net positive for the Lady Vols during her tenure here. While extremely talented, she had significant deficiencies that I believe were detrimental to the TEAM as a whole, and to Holly's authority as head coach. Some of these same issues were previously observed at UNC.

No need to pile on - I now think this amazing freshman class has the opportunity to be taught and trained with the proper work ethic and attitude from Day 1. And while this season will have its freshmen challenges, subsequent seasons should show massive improvement as this group puts team first, and competes and trains in a way that would make Pat proud.

I'm actually happy about this news. I think it will work out for the best.

If her heart is not here, let her go. I also believe it is good for us in long ...

Only way this is good for us in the long run is when Lady Vols lose 12 more games this year and Currie swings the axe. He won't sit idly by and watch this crap show continue another year. His firing of the baseball and tennis coaches prove that.

Holly showing a little grit with her tweet. I love it. We need people that will buy in and play their hearts out. We will be more than alright.

A coach should never disrespect a player. Without Diamond, Holly likely loses her job last year.

She should publicly thank diamond for her time and UT and wish her the best. This can't reflect well with recruits.

You ever think Holly is happy for Diamond? Did that ever cross your mind? The only thing we know is Holly posted a smiling face. How we interpret it says more about us and NOTHING about Holly.

She didn't disrespect anyone. She posted a smiley face. This post is ridiculous.

Exactly.

And everything I'm hearing about Holly is she is very much in a 'I ain't playing any more games' mode this offseason. There is a reason she went on a tangent in the interview stating if a player doesn't want to be here they should leave.

This. Correct.

I hope Diamond finds what she's looking for. However, I think the team's pouting, lackadaisical defense, turnovers, and chemistry issues have just been diminished considerably.

Then she deleted her account :question: as Herm Edwards said "once you hit send you cannot get it back"

Oh my goodness... did she seriously delete her account??

I can't remember a time when things were this messy... We need our own reality show at this point. smh

It was deleted and she has a private account, for now.

Likely because she got hacked or had a large number of nastiness being sent her way. Pretty standard move when either of those things happen.
