amsterjam 107 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Why are we talking about greyshirting recruits who are further down our board? Shouldn't we save those spots for next years class. With all the hype about the 2012 class coupled with this years BCSNC I would think we would want as much room as we can get for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgen 2 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I really don't think we end up with any greyshirts outside of the kicker and longsnapper. Unless we have someone out of the blue commit. We had academic causalities last year and odds are some will occur this year. But we will have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve74 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Will we be at our full allotment of 85 shollies after this signing class or will we still be short? Also, if not, can we reward some of the walkons such as Burgess to get to 85? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question best...next year's seniors was Tubs last full class and he completely dropped the ball on that class so we still have to build depth because of it. That is why the coaches take as many players as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterjam 107 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Don't get me wrong. I'm not questioning the coaches. I'm just hoping someone smarter than myself can help me understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he is a good LS but wouldn't we rather save that spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC has been good about giving open scholarships to deserving walk-ons! It is great when they are seniors because when they graduate the scholarship becomes available for next years recruiting class.

If they are seniors and are given open schollys then: 1) They have MORE than earned it and 2) Those scholly's are available for the next year.

Mattco 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I was under the impression that both Crofoot and Ellis were invited walk-ons, not part of this classes numbers. They would have to play for two years before a scholarship can be offered I believe. They wouldn't have to greyshirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubill 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I got to admit it makes no sense to Greyshirt somebody unless you think that player is better than any you'll get the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what needs would we have for next years crop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
