There is a thread on the Rebkell message board site EACH year devoted to transfers.
    4 at one time does make you wonder. When you bring in a new coach though, it happens a lot- for a variety of reasons.

    I think that is the key. New coach and new system. We can expect to see a lot more of Brooke's system this next year. Players have a choice on if they want to be in that system. I don't want to keep a player that doesn't have complete buy in. I wish them all the luck going forward, but if some choose another program/system/coach, that is up to them and it opens things up for players that have complete buy in....

    I agree. She had them competing this year- hopefully they will keep on improving, with the players that want to be here.

    I'm going to post this scenario and let me know HONESTLY what you all think. Let's say you work for your dream company and you put in extra time, team building exercises, and classes to help the company be successful. Others on your team only care about themselves, don't put in the extra time and schooling, but get the raises and promotions. What should you do, stay because you are "loyal" to your company or move on to where you are appreciated for you hard work as a team player in order to build a successful company?
    My other question is, why is the player always being scrutinized for leaving, instead of asking the coach why she/he couldn't keep them? Many times people are too quick to say "see ya" when someone leaves instead of asking the question "why"? Or maybe people don't want to know the real reason, because it's easier to blame the player instead of asking the tough questions.
    Mental midget or Mental Giant, that is it in a nutshell, Athletes that want to be part of the program will be, if they are not cut out for it then they will find a better fit for them.
    We knew coming in we would have some that would not make it and if after a year in the program that is new they feel they need to go somewhere else then that is for them to move on, The coaching staff needs people that want to be part of a winning program and willing to do what it takes to be part of that program.

    I have always told any athlete that wanted to transfer or walk away to make sure of their choice because I will support them in whatever they want to do but if they don't make the change within they will wake up on day saying "Welcome to McDonalds may I take your order at 40 yrs old" because it was always someone else holding them down and not understanding they hold themselves down and back.

    I am not saying working for McDonalds is a bad thing but if you settle for it when you have the opportunity to thrive above it that is your own fault and you must own that.

    I am sure in reference to your other question any of the players that leave will have that answer if they just ask the coach, it isn't our business as fans why they didn't stay just like the conversation the coach has with them about their part is between the athlete and coach.

    The inside scoop would be what you have been told by the coaches themselves, I am not sure maybe the coaches have confided that, but if your going off half a story and not both sides you don't have the scoop, you have one side of a story.

    I don't know anything for certain but I am guessing one is Dawn Gibson and I think the former coaching staff did her an injustice by signing her because she was in over her head from the moment she stepped on campus, she is much better suited for DIII or lower level NAIA school, that would give her the chance to thrive at a program where she could be a big fish in a small pond.

    I remember watching her play the first time and she just looked like a deer caught in headlights and that is not fair to her. I really hope she will look at going to Warner Southern or maybe St. Leo where she could look at schools that are more in line with athletic ability.

    Aahhhh.....okay...I get it now. You're making the foolish mistake of caring too much about what some of these clowns think.

    Are you saying our Breaking News break is broken, that the brakes are on the Breaking News, or that the Breaking News being broken is just a bad break?

    There is nothing wrong with the program or our head coach. Ilovebball has the players' perspective only.

    In business, I've fired many people. Most of the people I have fired...quit on their own.

    Let me backtrack on this.

    I lheartbball is a woman, mid 50's from Illinois. Her breaking news is coming from Santos herself. She will not be posting any of the alleged names.

    It would be an interesting spin if ILB was Santos herself...

    I have never hidden the fact that I am a woman from Illinois, but am not in my mid50's . I have a connection to LaTech because as I stated before I played division one basketball and have followed the program for many, many years. I am not part of the Santos family, but know of them and have followed all of their children throughout their basketball careers as I do with a lot of Illinois players, and not in a creepy way.

    I thought by now the releases would have been made public by the school, that's why I have waited to respond. Anyway, to stop the insanity here are their names: Dawn Gipson, Ashley Reid, Jasmine LeBlanc, and Ashley Santos. I wish them all the best of luck at their new schools. Please be respectful and don't bash them because transferring is a difficult decision to make.

    LeBlanc is the only one that will be missed, I thought Santos was getting ready to graduate anyway
