[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 64089, member: 639"] I think the recent attrition has the potential to be a net positive or negative for the program. It is hard to tell. If those guys cut loose were destined to be great players, who stayed eligible, and helped in the locker room, then for sure it was a negative. But if they weren't....? Look at it this way. If they were destined to be acidic teammates who underperformed and we did the typical GT, stay loyal, and honor the schollie, where would we be in a couple years? Right back to 2010. That is where. When you look at all the factory teams with their great successes ON the field (certainly not off), one of the biggest differences between them and us is roster turnover. They have more of it. Just look at the number of kids they are signing every year and do the math. Guys who are generally non-compliant to team rules are rarely good for a program in the long run. It is better to lose them and give a new guy a chance to make an impact. At least the 78 guys or so left on the schollie rolls are "all in". Certainly, we need to do a better job of identifying the right kids. That is the best scenario for all involved. Continuity is great so long as the kids are great. The problem is identifying them correctly. With today's BS going on in schools everywhere, how do you really know who the capable kids are off the field? Grade point averages have no meaning any more. Nobody will tell you the truth about a kid for fear of litigious repercussions. All you have to go by is what you see on the field and interviews etc. It can be pretty tricky. [/QUOTE]
