I do hope Coach Vic addresses this publicly. He owes it to us. One of the most loyal and vested fan bases in the country and no one expected this mutiny. They all seemed happy at the Buccee stops, dancing, messing around with coach, etc. Just goes to show that so much of life is a facade.

Dang, now Preston will follow. I wonder if we will ever know what really motivated these girls to leave? Lee got everything. She got praise, evidently a bag was offered, playing time, said all the right things, shocking. I always felt she would be the loyal one.

Lee entered the portal.

Our third baseman has a gun for an arm.

I hope it's good news that Preston and Lee haven't announced anything.

No word on Lee or Preston as of yet.

Carlton is referring to the UCLA game. Coach is stubborn. He should have played her more. Imagine how she felt watching Booker implode?! And yet she was on the bench after scoring six tough points. Vic has his favorites. She wasn't one of them.

I think he regretted that. I heard he apologized to the team on numerous occasions, but parents weren't happy about it. Rori kept the team together after that incident. Whenever that is brought up by the media, you can tell he hates talking about it. He underestimated how deep those words hurt a bunch of the girls. Amazingly, we had a great run until UCLA. Maybe it flamed their fire to prove him wrong. There is a lot of emotion in this game, coaches makes mistakes. Look at Geno's attack on Coach Staley.

I think it was right at halftime against UCLA and Carlton was open and didn't get the ball. She was arguing with Coach on the way to the locker room. I feel like she never got the flowers she needed nor the playing time. He felt obligated to play the transfer seniors. Judd was never able to do much. Sidberry essentially a defensive player. That likely didn't sit well with Carlton. All these kids have been told how great they are since middle school, add the dimension of fame and money, whoa! Not easy. Sign of the times for sure.

Of all the portal transfers, Makuba on defense and Quinn on offense get my vote for the biggest game changers.

They likely got into a heated argument after the Vanderbilt game and said things. Look my ex and her sister got in an argument in their 20's, and never spoke again.

Itute is better than Carlton. She's bigger and stronger than Justice. She played pro in Europe. Having said that, I love Carlton. Just like her manner.

If Preston and Lee leave, we just need to add three from the portal to have 12 on our roster. I prefer the four stay, but it is what it is.

With Lee and Preston it has to be money. With Crump and Justice it could be playing time. Itute and Crittendon are better than Carlton. And Bjorn is better than Crump. Jazzy Spaight and Holguin have quickness and are better outside shooters than Preston. I wish Lee would stay. We are Texas. We will fill the slots. I am beginning to reconcile the situation. What can we do? Just wish them well.

Lots of schools are in similar positions.

I love Justice Carlton's game too. But if someone offers you twice as much money, it's hard to say no. But I think it's a mistake. Being a Longhorn Legend can set you up for life.

I just hope our incoming freshmen don't back out. Just think, every year you have to teach a new batch of girls your defensive philosophy, system, etc. Just how it is nowadays.

Carlton was my favorite player. Dang.

I disagree too. She is a very good player and was improving a lot. I was looking forward to her being here. So depressing.

Money. Someone came along and offered more than we could.

I don't know if I could be a head coach in this environment. Tennessee and Iowa State lost their entire team. I really was looking forward to seeing Crump blossom here. It's hard on fans because we invest so much on our team. I give monthly to women's hoops. I love women's basketball. This really disappoints me. I feel bad for our coaches.

Money!

Madison is a head case. Hope we have a sports psychologist on staff. She needs one.

....these are the most insincere, fake goodbye letters I have ever read. Why do athletes entering the portal feel as though these make a difference? Spare us the boorish words and just leave! They all sound the same and are likely written by AI. Just once, I would like to read one that speaks the truth, "My agent said he's been talking to a school that will triple my NIL money! Laters!"
