All the analysts saying to prepare for a lot of unexpected fireworks around the country. Seems like 2nd stringers everywhere will be looking at options.

 

That time of year where we just can’t overreact to unexpected attrition and hope it’s limited. I expect most on our end will be good attrition.

I'm not sure what the current scholarship counts are, or what the even looks like in this day and age, but if taken at face value.  We NEED to lose quite a few.

Corey Collier & Eric Fields hitting the portal this morning it appears. Have to imagine at least a few more still to come.

OK, so was he still being counted as a scholarship?

[Caliborn72]

Yeah these were both known, just made official today with the portal being open. A little bummed Collier didn’t work out because he seemed like the exact type of player who would excel in this defense.

 

Wanted to like Fields but ultimately that offer list didn’t lie.

Attitude and thin frame for fields not his level of play. 

[Caliborn72]

I get it but frame is one of the biggest factors in recruiting offer lists.

Just seemed Fields was one of those guys who gets home sick.  I don't remember hearing anything negative about him. He just up and went home

This is a horrible problem that college sports has to get a handle on.

Once everything goes internal & contracts get inked I think while it will still be “crazy” compared to before it will have settled down from the lawless Wild West it is now. The NCAA is truly useless.

The professional leagues can impose the rules they do because the athletes are employees who have collective bargained those conditions. Neither of those are true in the case of collegiate athletics.
