Guys that were just numbers and got kicked to the curb….

yea we get it .,

That’s not what I said. Guys who are going to have difficulty cracking the lineup and may find it easier to do so elsewhere is more like it. All of these guys want to play and that path may be a little quicker or smoother for them to do that somewhere else.

Fact is all or most of those guys aren’t welcome back

 

[AthensVol2007]

The round he is taken in really doesn’t matter

The reason he might come back would be $. Nil could easily make turning down 50-100k easy

for reference 11th round might be more $ than 3rd round

Carter Young got $1.2M last year in like the 17th round. Made out like a bandit.

Hollis Fanning would be a notable exception. I think he will be drafted so perhaps a moot point.

Ryan Miller enters NCAA transfer portal (on3.com)

Bummer. Thought he was going to be competitive next year. Nice swing.

Another exception would be Fitzgibbons

 

[Vols330]

Correct. I believe they wanted him to stay.

Agreed. funny, I looked at portal right after I typed that and started to add Fitz but got busy w something else.

it’s really simple math. Way more scholarship guys than scholarship spots.


I’m certain some kids were “wanted” back but asked to come back without $. Not saying he fits that category but it’s possible

keep in mind there is a hard number for scholarship players for next fall but unlimited players for next fall.

He committed anywhere yet?

 

[taylorvol]

He committed anywhere yet?

Not yet according to D1 Baseball.

 

[BruinVol]

Not yet according to D1 Baseball.

Thanks

Btw I’d bet he was never on 1$ of scholarship at Tenn and wasn’t offered any to stay.

Just a guess

What? Thought roster is capped at 35 with 27 scholarships. Or, is that not official until the Spring?

Those were pre Covid caps but the 35 was never a cap until opening day

 

[taylorvol]

I know they were pre covid but assume will be post COVID since most everyone has used their 2020 COVID year. Will NCAA allow expanded rosters for 24?

32 scholarship players and 40 total is the new cap

 

[Christian Lowe]

Isn’t 11.7 being done away with soon too?

 

[BruinVol]

Likely. I suspect power 5s will make that happen

 

[Christian Lowe]

McKee says he doesn’t expect Jaslove to be here next season on TOS

 

[BreatheUT]

I had no idea our top players were disenchanted. Why can't this happen to another top team?
