One More Schollie Opens Up...

Not necessarily great news with Davis leaving the program, but we should be able to replace him with top talent.

For all of the hand-wringing about how few spots we'll have for this class, things are looking like it'll be a decently sized class when all is said and done. Leaving with the seniors now are Dontae, Davis, Rowland, Burrell and Javes Lewis.

Add in a few more potentially leaving early after next season (other than LMJ I don't see it as that likely, but some do), and we're almost to a full class already. Give another year for academic, competitive, and legal attrition and i'm confident we'll take right around 25 again next year.

This seems to happen every year when there's supposedly few schollies to offer. I think initial projections had like 13-15 scholarships for next season, but now that is close 20. With Oregon coming off a NCG appearance, they should be able to attract some top talent again.

From what I've heard, he's a player, but he was also so far down the depth chart at corner that he got moved to safety.

That's what it sounding like, "while he can play ball" we just happen to have a few others that play just a bit better!

BTW thanks hines BUT it was sounding like the guy was making an impression with the coaches but clearly transferring twice in two years shows the guy lacks heart and possibly smarts...D2 here he comes!
