Fortunately or unfortunately, that does seem to happen every year. I can definitely see Kelson Stewart or even Lamarvon Jackson headed out after this year.

Since you guys brought this up, Joe Kleine spoke to a group that I attended the other day, and he mentioned this situation. He said he realized one day. "Hey, we have 10 guys coming back, five new ones signed, that's fifteen, and we've only got 13 scholarships". He mentioned it to Steve, and was told not to worry, that these things always have a way of working out.

Joe said players leave in one of three ways. Academics, lack of playing time, or they're asked to leave. He said that's the one thing he doesn't like about coaching, but you have to do it, because if you don't, you won't have a job. I'm not divulging any secrets. This was said in an open forum. And "the truth shall set you free". He did say when asked (by yours truly) , although he isn't the one to make these decisions, that it was a pretty safe bet that III would be on scholarship next season.

On one hand I'm very glad Mouzy is getting a scholarship. He absolutely deserves it. On the other that makes another departure necessary. I'm starting to get nervous about who we're going to lose aside from graduation! Perhaps they'll release some of their signees?

No way that's going to happen. The only way those signees are not going to be here is if they don't make their grades, or drop out of college for some reason. If all of them hit campus, the departures will come from our current roster, in one form or another. And maybe grades will take care of a couple of them, so nobody has to be asked to leave. Either way, it is sad, but life isn't always perfect, is it?

Not at all, but we're gonna have to pretty far up the depth chart at this point to free up the spots!

InsideUALR, yuo said you have recruiting ties?

The coaches here are tight lipped and so is most of the staff. The little we hear before signing always comes in the descriptions of players not names. The 6'5" shooter we signed was mentioned by a couple of different people but no names schools ect...

There has been more info on the 4 bcs transfers we have landed in the last 3 years than on any of the hs kids.
