Some posters have been asking if these are no longer valid for incoming freshmen if the head coach leaves.

The way I read the rule is the commit was to the school and not the coach. If the recruit chooses to not honor the commit, the recruit sits out and loses a year of eligibility.

In our case, I think the ladies honor the commit, especially Horston since she stated weeks ago she was not quitting on Tennessee.

If I interpreted the rules incorrectly, let the posters know and there may be exceptions to the rule that I did not see.

If the players committed to Holly then I question their intellect. Surely they committed to the school/fan base

It doesn't always seem to work that way. The Ole Miss players who transferred after Insell was fired all had to sit out a year.
Never mind saw you're specifically talking about commits. Did Kaela Davis sign a LOI or was she just a verbal?

Current players are different than commitments who have signed LOI but not yet on campus, in which the school almost always releases them...

Yeah, Insell wasn't too classy. And, he didn't last long.

I vote to release anyone and everyone who wants to go elsewhere...especially Dean.

I think you are correct

If I’m not mistaken in most cases like this when a coach is fired before the players are on campus, the administration has the option to release them from LOI without plenty.

Not come here? You kidding? Horston just had the luckiest day of her young life. Last night her coach was Holly Warlick. Today it's maybe possibly Jeff Walz. I'd be surprised if any recruit didn't come or any current player didn't stay if what we think is about to happen does happen. They're getting a chance that a whole sad parade of wasted LV careers didn't get.

I would guess the commitments will wait to see who gets hired. If they want to go to another school I'm certain Tennessee would release them...


Okay, play devils advocate. What if #1 Waltz is hired. #2 does his high school recruits follow him to UT?
If so, then you have 8 ladies fighting for 4 scholatahips

I wonder if he can release players he didn't recruit? At least from basketball scholarships...

Please stop, I can only take so much good news in one day. By all means let them fight it out and may the best players win. We'll just round out our roster with Louisville's top recruits. While FINALLY developing our current talent, and adding a mega star recruit. Under a top notch coach in his prime. Yes, please! But it probably doesn't work that way.

I know this is for discussion but who cares? The players that want to play for the most historic program in the sport will stay or come. Being a new kid on the block program, especially one that takes everyone's best transfers like it's a waiver wire doesn't make a program historic. This program recruits itself and get the right coach we will be back to selecting.

Holly has caused a tremendous amount of damage to the LV program. I guess I'm not yet to the point of wanting to shower her with accolades and swooning. She took a job that paid a tremendous amount of money and failed badly at it. She destroyed many a young ladies future in the sport with her incompetence and cluelessness. I hate what she did to this program....and I'm not fully convinced she did indeed "give her all for Tennessee". I'm sorry. Best of luck I guess in the future Ms. Warlick. I apologize for coming off as a jerk...but maybe in time I will come to appreciate her more. It just really upset me to see the LV program sink to such depths under her oversight...and I'm still a bit resentful.

Depends on who leaves, who stays, what we end up with. These are not ordinary times. May want to bring in some ringers to stock the fort just this once. Then we can go to work on being historic again.

Depending on who sticks around, which probably won't be everyone, it will work itself out...
