SouthLincoln Husker Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Who is leaving to make room for an extra schollied playerThat would make the number of departing players/non-renewed schollies at 5 if they do add a LB. 5? I have 4. Kicker does not count unless he plays in a game!The kicker is a JUCO, he isn't coming to sit the pine with just 2 years left. He will play in some fashion and most likely got some assurance from the staff before he committed. The number is 4, will be 5 if they grab a JUCO LB. Correct, but he is getting an academic scholarship. This means he does not count toward the 85, unless he plays in a game. I would almost guess that he might have a redshirt left, which means he would not play until 2016! After Bondi is gone! Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I did a little search on Sutcliffe. He used a redshirt at Utah and played to years in JUCO, where he kicked & punted. There are financial packages that do not qualify as a school scholarship and academic scholarship rules are grey due to the if, and & buts. I am not specialist on this, but I read him as a walk-on that does not count, unless he plays and then not until the following year. This is a good insurance policy. Quote Link to comment

I would be interested seeing what gray areas your finding, because this is pretty well sealed down by the NCAA. Your are correct that he won't count until he plays, however he is a 2 for 2 guy and isn't coming to sit. Assuming he accepted the academic scholly, he will play and count this year so he makes the attrition number needed at 4. Again that is assuming he accepts the academic scholly and that all current schollies were renewed. If they get a LB this year the number is 5. Quote Link to comment

It is possible that he doesn't play, I am just having a hard time seeing that when he is a 2 for 2 guy that the staff recruited here. I can't imagine either party would have agreed to him coming here if they didn't think he would add value through his play and if he didn't get a really good indication that he will play in some type of role. Who knows, this is all conjecture though until we know for sure that he accepted the academic scholly. Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So what's going on with Mittermeyer (juco OT)? Do we think he ends up with an offer and enrolls in the fall? Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think we have to wait until we have enough room for him plus a Juco LB. At least that's the feeling I get. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I would think 2-3 kids would drop off over the summer. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 True. But we need to shed three right now just to get back down to 85. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Banker hitting the JUCO circuit looking for Safety, Corner and LB. I guess that doesn't make much sense to me - except LB, of course. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 They must be expecting quite a few to leave. Looking for a S and CB this late is surprising. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 We have to have several leave to even be able to take anyone else for this fall. But we hardly lose anyone in the secondary even after this year. And we seem to have a lot of talent there already. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 We are loaded at CB and S Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think this means that they have a good idea that a CB and/or S are leaving. Quote Link to comment
