Well, you are right... every circumstance is different?? But I do know the coach has a lot to do with it!

Well, I know a couple of the players and it def. isn't an "effort" issue. I heard they didn't have a huge demand at the practices last year?? I still will be shocked if he produces a winning SunBelt team. But, that is just my opinion and what I have heard from others around the area... As for the 2 new recruits that they are talking about, why exactly is Wilhelm leaving a better team in Arkansas if she is apparently so good?? And why is Cruz leaving her school? Maybe her coach wasn't "popular" with her?? Hope the girls do good this year... We will soon see!

Don't know why this is just now coming out? Heard this about 3 months ago! As for the 2 that left, one just didn't want to play anymore and the other is through because of her injury, or that's what I have been told by others. I overheard some man talking and he said by the looks of everything, he didn't think they would miss being around Lama much!! What does that tell everyone? And everyone thought DP was the only one to lose players because of not being liked??

Why don't you call up athletics. I wish I could hear that convo. Because there was a mistake!!!

Pretty sure everyone is coming back! Maybe you should do your homework... since you seem to "know" everything about the tennis team??!

Obviously the writer doesn't know what they are talking about. Lama must have been misquoted!?

I have been told that Allie Chermel and Shannon MacKenzie are walking on. I don't think they received scholarships. As far as I know everyone is returning and there are 4 spots open. Narine from Texas and two foreign girls have signed, leaving one spot open.

Who are you to judge? Are you some tennis expert? I think its none of your business or mine really. I think everyone should back off and see what happens!! I don't think 2 new people will be coming in in January. I think they are really looking for next fall.

My friend actually knows the girls on the team pretty well and Giles didn't leave TJC because she didn't like it there. UNT was just a good offer. Also I was reading that she came to the Mean Green Invite last year, playing for TJC, and she beat K. Harris in straight sets. If she was healthy, she would be playing top 3 for sure. She hasn't really been injury-free since she has been here. I heard she played the entire semester last year with a stress fracture. She found out after their last match that it in fact was one. I think you all need to get off their backs and give them time. Yall are so quick to jump on a bad day or tournament. They are not going to make a huge turn around in 2 months. It's going to take time. So just chill out.

So are you saying Giles was a cut in talent? Or TJC couldn't afford to lose her? Also, I talked to the number 2 last year and she was always planning on staying, even up until this summer.

I think yall need to give it time. It is still early in the season. They have the entire fall season to work on things for the spring. I heard they possibly may have someone coming in in January, but not for sure yet. As for # 2 leaving b/c of DP... she isn't here anymore because she failed classes, not b/c she hated DP. Lama is a decent coach, so why did he leave UI?? As for Giles leaving TJC... she obviously got a better offer and couldn't pass it up. That's part of coaching junior college, your players may get good offers and leave at semester. I believe once all six players are able to play, they will be better than last years team.

There were only 5 players playing bec. Sara Giles is injured. Something with her leg? As for Ina... I heard she failed classes. She isn't even on the team anymore?? They will have a great team when everyone is able to play.

Well, I am pretty sure even if there was a coach right now, the people playing Sectionals in CS right now would have already signed somewhere else since the signing date is in April. Who is the great candidate you are talking about?

Well, I know a person who knew the freshman really well and her main reason for leaving, or so they told me, was that she was very homesick! Not that she hated the coach that much! She just missed Arizona. How do you know all this anyway? You act like you were a part of the team or something!

Um yeah... She def. wasn't fired! I would resign also if I had to mess with all of you all! I know pretty much what all went on and she resigned... End of story!!

GET OVER DENVER!!! Stop comparing UNT to Denver... It's different. Team, Coach, Town, Atmosphere!!!

She did get released, or so I heard. Good luck to her. I have also heard that if a coach resignes the AD cannot keep anyone if they wanted to leave.

I agree... I know many people who either worked with her or played for her who had no problem with her. And yes I attended some of the matches and watched her. She did fine! I hope she is very successful at Baylor!

its awfully easy to criticize from here... good luck to her and on to bigger and better things at UNT!

Go LadyGreen! I couldn't agree with you more... at least there is someone out there who supports her besides me!

Well one isn't returning, then Ingrid, and there was an open one this past semester.

I heard the coach would have 3-4 scholarships to fill. Did they fill some already? Also, do you know when they are supposed to make a decision?

I hope they can find some US recruits. I know that the really good teams have all foreign players, but give the americans a chance too. There are many americans out there that are just as good. Not to say I'm against the foreigners or anything, but come on where are we living? DP did a good job of looking at americans first then foreigners.

I totally disagree with your comment. I believe DP did all she could with what she had. It just wasn't a good year. She def. wasn't lazy. She had a lot injured, and not because of all the running they did because they didn't run that much this spring season, so I have heard. She just had a rough year.

I don't. Do you?
