****... so he's gonna have to cut about 10 guys?!
Why go way past 85 unless he foresees transfers that might come here during the summer? If the kid isn't causing trouble why not keep them for extra bodies on the scout team at the least?
Just a thought... maybe he knows some sort of possible scholarship reductions (say 15 over 3 years for example) and figures if the kid isn't good enough to contribute why not just cut him play this yera with 80 scholarship athletes and then this year would already count as year 1 and we'd only have 2 years left.
Either way - it will be interesting to see who all transfers. Thats alot of people!
