[QUOTE="Pointer, post: 699210, member: 4719"] Last time I read, we had over signed by 13. So you're telling me 13 guys before signing day (not to mention throughout the recruiting process) went up to CGC and said "hey coach I'm not gonna be here next year"? Even if this were the case, why are we still waiting for guys to leave so we have enough spots (what is it currently 90 on the team?) And before we get more excuses of coach is just letting them know there isn't playing time for them, I know this has been done in the past as well. But 13? It just seems like we are being more pushy about it. People beating there chest proud to run things like a factory. I would love to win, but not this way. Then we get the other guys who say life is competition and we shouldn't be giving hand outs, then why are we agreeing to 4 year commitment as posted previously? I would be way more ok if coach said, "hey guy, we'd like to give you one to two years, but not guaranteeing you more then that" then it's more ok. But they get sold on brotherhood, family and what not, until it's not convenient for coach anymore. I got my fair share of scholarships at Tech, and I was informed up front what it takes to keep said scholarships. If I go below the threshold for a gpa, shame on me because I knew what the agreement was. But again as pointed out above, these kids sign a 4 year LOI, not a 1-2 year try out. It doesn't take much deduction to see what is going on here with the over signing. And if you really don't like what I'm saying, please by all means hit the ignore button. I'm not here to get anyone's blood pressure up. This is a forum to discuss a team that means a whole lot to many, myself included, so I'll express my displeasure with things I don't believe in if I wish. [/QUOTE]
