CB Trai Mosley Leaving the Team

Did he actually play? For as short as we were on DBs, that might be telling.

He wasn't on the participation chart that I see.

DBs that played were Kalu, Jones, Cockrell, A Williams, K Williams, Gerry, Reed, Joseph, and Davie.

 
If he couldn't get on the field when we were down two DBs against a pass-heavy team, he's not in the coach's plans. We spent a lot of time in Dime so he apparently isn't one of our top eight DBs with redshirts in the mix next year.

I really don't think this is a rumor. I mean ... it's obviously not official. But the media guys talked to his high school coach who was already working on finding him a place to transfer.

Tell me how the scholarship commitment/contract works: Can a coach pull a scholarship anytime if he thinks the kid doesn't fit his system or isn't playing up to par? I know the student has to request a release to transfer to another school but how does it work from the coach's side when he wants to get rid of a student and make room for others? With all of the talk of various players leaving potentially, what are the obligations of each party as a scholarship is essentially a contract to perform by both parties. Your insight is appreciated. I obviously was not so lucky to get a scholarship when I was in college and my son's full ride scholarship was academic - so I don't understand the athletic scholarship 'terms'. (which I was very glad for his academic scholarship as he was on track to received an athletic basketball scholarship- point guard - if not for the 2 darn ACL surgeries - funny thing or not so - 11 years later I end up wt an ACL surgery this year - ouch - must be a genetic thing).

I could be wrong, but I believe that in football, the scholarships are of e one-year renewable variety. It gives the coaches and players a chance to sit down and evaluate things after a season to see if the desire to renew the scholly is mutual.
I do believe Delaney and the Big 10 have proposed full four year scholly agreements in the recent past as an alternative. It'd help mitigate the oversigning and more plentiful "cutting" of players from schollies in places like the SEC.

The idea didn't get much traction, though. The logistics of moving to a full four-year scholly system would make it nearly impossible to recover if you miss on important guys or have a high number of busts that you then have to carry for a full college career.

Thanks Dude for the explanation. That helps my understanding of what is going on. It does force the players to work hard and earn each year and I see the logic against a 4 year scholly - get a couple of busts at a key position like QB or RB and you might end up write off the rest of your career as coach at that university.

Actually Nebraska committed to 4 year scholly's under Bo 2 years ago. So this is pretty crappy if they asked him to leave. They are having a hard time trying to fill the current class of 23. I don't think they need to have that number rise to 28 by running folks off. Anytime a staff is looking at taking a half a dozen JC players you know they're coaching for a quick fix to save their jobs rather than build a program.

Who says they are running players off?

good. Need more non contributors off the team, especially if the player wants a chance at playing time. Can't argue with the coaches for targeting JUCOs too, and if it's about saving their job, wouldn't any of us do the same thing? I would. Also, Stoops won his first title with JUCOs, a QB was one of them too. Good luck to Trai.

The JUCO comment is not right at all & is just a dumb comment.

JUCO's are taken every year by some of the best programs. JUCO's are perfect for filling a miss in recruiting, adding depth, replacing transfers & sometimes just getting a stud player. Look at players like Mike Rozier, OJ Simpson, Keyshawn Johonson, sCam Newton, Randy Gregory & Levonte David. These are just a few JUCO transfers that worked out pretty well I could think of off the top of my head.

 
Was reading an article about 2016 CB commit DiCaprio Bootle and something caught my eye. Supposedly one of the reasons Mosley wasn't a "fit" was because he doesn't have the physical size of some other corners. The coaches - as do most - prefer bigger corners.

Mosley is listed at 5-10, 170 lbs. Bootle is listed at 5-11, 170 lbs.

Bootle is also a junior in high school still.
