This article is about a week old but I hadn't seen it posted here yet. I would hate to have been a senior on this team.

Edit: Interestingly, Justin Murphy played ball at Tech for a few years before transferring to Houston.

“As a second time graduate transfer that was recruited to Houston on verbal confirmation that we intended to win now, Coach’s actions in a lot of ways proved otherwise,” Murphy wrote.

That has to feel terrible to be recruited to play your last year and then have your HC go back on his word. I would probably quit the team too.
