Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 4353254, member: 920"] No, it's not insane to think that a large # of kids assumed they'd be given a similar (at worst) opportunity elsewhere and overplayed their hands given an environment where kids are being given a free year of eligibity. It's insane to imply that most of the kids in the portal had their scholarships non-renewed. Coaches have to keep relationships, and there's a wide gap between "you will not have a scholarship next year" and "we will honor your scholarship, but we think you're better off finding a new school." And we have no clue how many were going to transfer without feedback/input from their staff. See above. Pushed out =/= encouraged to seek other opportunities. Also, players had their scholarships non-renewed in the past. Happens when new coaches take over a football program. Less so in basketball. But it was already something coaches could do. We agree it will happen. Difference is you're assuming to know the reason behind most of the transfers (or at least a "huge" amount) without having any evidence. [/QUOTE]
