Bring in the top recruiting class and then leave just weeks before school begins? That was a very harsh move on his part.

Also, does anyone else think that this could ever happen in another sport (soccer, basketball, etc.) where a coach can go from coaching men to women or vise versa and have an easy transition.tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-53744402370099183232012-06-09T19:32:13.176-04:002012-06-09T19:32:13.176-04:00On the defections at GT.

One was not able to do the academic work at GT; one was a failed relationship with a male GT tennis player; one was a move back home to Ohio State; only one was related to coach. The relationship soured when she came back overweight from Christmas break as a freshman. A benching at the end of the season was the last straw.Jim Wrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-74730862535145822672012-06-09T19:17:41.060-04:002012-06-09T19:17:41.060-04:00@10ismenace

I'm certain he was the main reason they signed up and GT probably sold them on the school based on him being their coach. So what can they do now? Can they ask to have their LOI disregarded ? I know that coaches change jobs but realistically they dont do it very often and it seems unfair that you could be recruited based on one understanding (that coach Shelton was in charge) and then have it changed at the last minute.Jenny Mirannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-28958292733080642382012-06-08T23:39:41.396-04:002012-06-08T23:39:41.396-04:00Hey Colette -

I can't really say anything bad about it, Shelton is a terrific recruiter, but I dont know how it will translate to men, may be seamless. I will say he has had some defections at GT, but obviously recruits great to a place that isn't all that intruiging to go to college unless you want to be in the heart of a big city. He has the pro experience to relate to recruits, I am curious who the other candidates were.<br /><br />One candidate I think we can rule out for Alabama, if he ever had any interest in the first place, is Mike Sell. His wife is the new coach at LSU. I have no clue who Bama is going to hire. One additional candidate I want to throw out there is Cedric Kaufmann from UK.Austinnoreply@blogger.com
