Strict rules? Dress code? So she wants her players to not dress trashy on trips? I’d assume there are clauses that come with scholarships? I’d assume a dress code would be part of that. And in the age of nil of you get paid, it’s a job and your boss can set rules. Just sayin
I followed the twitter accounts of every SB player who had one when Lombardi was hired just to see any indication of their reaction to her good or bad. I don't believe a single player left over dress code, but the whole Lombardi package hit them wrong over a period of time. They didn't all leave at once and only 4 ended up in Texas with White but every starter except Hailey left within a year. This was off a close knit Top 3 team talent wise, and not one of them left because Lombardi was bringing in a more talented player.
This years exodus is from her players she brought in. Unlike the WBB transfers out, these include most of her star players. In the time of the new transfer rules, coaches need to adapt. You can still be an abrasive asshole if you have the resume to pull it off like Mulkey, Auriemma or Gasso, but for unproven coaches learning player retention skills is a must.

Yeah was gonna say, doubt it’s the dress code, so that makes sense.
Personality and style can run people off the wrong way. I

Yes something is amiss will so many transfers. How do we know what is going on?

Re: 2022-23 SB Additions/Subtractions
I would say similar to the WBB recent transfers, the players in the team are just not clicking, and definitely not clicking with what the coach is looking for. Sometimes it's the wrong fit. OREGON needs players like how Mike White rebuilt from such a bad state before him.
I have a bad feeling it will go back to that state if they don't get it together.

Re: 2022-23 SB Additions/Subtractions
Oregon received a commitment last week from Duke OF Kyla Morris. Seems more like a utility/bench player than a high-level Pac-12 quality starter.
