And what scholarship is that? We have 15 guys on the current roster. Only 13 scholarships are given.
Spoja and Jones are walk-ons. We lose only Kryslovic after the 2017-18 season. His scholarship is going to Mack Anderson. Who else is on the current roster is non-scholarship, or who is leaving in order to free up a scholarship?
Good question. I was wondering that myself. This staff is great for getting on players early. I'm sure that was the case with Gaskin, whereas my impression is that Mack Anderson was a late-blooming, last-minute surprise that suddenly landed in our laps. Odd situation, so I'm not sure what they had in mind, had Gaskin committed.
Still, somewhere, somehow, the Gaskin scholarship is one that will go somewhere else, eventually. Given this staff's ability to recruit, I'm sure we're gonna get a good player in his stead.
Unfortunately, we lost out for Gaskin. As for scholarships, with Anderson committing, the scholarships for 2018 are full. However, DeCuire is very wise. He still recruits to get talent in. He prepares the program for defection (nobody I am aware of on the current roster), and if a player is not doing enough to keep a scholarship, he will pull a scholarship or 2. DeCuire utilizes scholarships as they are, a 1 year deal. It may be harsh, to some. However, it does give motivation for walk ons to work harder, and for current scholarshipped players to work hard to keep them. Those who won't or can't, see you!
