LOI releases are granted when the coach changes or if there's a significant event in the individual's life (like a family member getting sick).
Post actually hasn't signed a LOT yet (he will in April - missed the early LOI date for JUCOs, I guess.
Underachieving rarely affects basketball recruiting. Thus how Scott Drew continually signs amazing recruiting classes despite never doing as much with them as he should.
I'd be more worried about Tim Fuller accepting a head coaching job somewhere than anything else. He's a workhorse/dynamo .
Missouri has a good chance with a lot of big names in 2014. Landing a few of them will tell us a lot about Haith's future here.
Oh, one other thing... Missouri is recruiting 2013 PG Kendall Yancy-Harris pretty heavily still and is in the mix. Tells me the coaches are also pretty sure what I heard yesterday about Pressey being gone is true.

Jacobson didn't leave UNI. McDermott's dad left to go coach Creighton. UNI didn't have to release him from his LOI, and there was actually quite a bit of backlash in CedarLoo that they did.
