Scholarship question

here is the way things stand as of right now.

we have 79 scholarship players (I jsut learned Cory Sullins is on scholarship).

we have 18 seniors scheduled to leave (Rogers has appealed for a 6th year and could return).

assume all 18 leave that puts us at 61 scholarship players for next season.

That means there is only room to sign 24 players to LOI's if all 24 got in and not one of the 61 returnees left. But, we will sign more than 24 so that means there will be other players scheduled to return who don't. (Berry being 1).

We expect to sign 27 that can get in. 2 will be early enrollees and be back counted to 2009 class. 25 will enroll in the fall of 2010. that means at least 3 of the returners must leave before August.

I expect 8-10 of the returnees to leave before fall for various reasons.

Hope that helps.

That many? I can only think of two. Do you have an idea of who else may leave?

I wouldn't even begin to toss out names but all you have to do is look at those not helping. Be lot of reasons kids leave from tired of FB, family reasons, tgired of school, graduate and don't want to play another year, the staff works them too hard... etc. etc...

Lot of kids are not going to work like this staff expects with little chance to play

Thank you; that was helpful to me and I thought the original question starting this thread was a good one. Don't care if its been asked before, we'll probably need more explaining now and then. :good!:

Scholarships are only for a year. Each year they can be pulled or granted. Coaches usually don't pull someones scholarship(usually only happens if coaching change)not good PR. But sometimes a walk on can be granted a scholarship for a certain year and not the next due to availability(someone getting kicked off the team). If I'm wrong or this has changed someone correct me please.

Another question that must have been asked and answered before ...

... if a kid is coming in as an early entry for January, then when can they actually sign with us?

Thanks, Larry. I was afraid that would be your response. JJ has so much talent. I haven't been this disappointed in (potentially) losing a player since Coker threw his scholarship away.
