How many scholarships?

[mhshuskies]

During the Texas game they mentioned they have 13 returning scholarship players and two AA coming in. I thought the limit was 13?

I think it's 15

Men = 13 women = 15

 

[mhshuskies]

Men = 13 women = 15

We never approach that number.

Coaches were ask to vote on reducing scholarships which Geno favors and they voted no. The limit should be 13 and spread the talent out to more schools. Would make a difference for some schools.

Next year we will be at 13 if the former walk-ons keep their scholarships.

Almost never. 2008 team had 11 scholarship players returning and Geno signed 3 top 10 kids in EDD,Hayes,Doty + Buck. It would have brought the roster to 15 but hopefully you know how the story ends. Geno was also in hot pursuit of Neka O. Not sure what would have happened if she decided to come. We occasionaly have someone state that Geno likes the roster at x or y. I think Geno likes a roster of quality. Hard for me to believe he would sign the #1 player and not have a plan.

He has stated that 11-12 is an ideal size - larger and minutes become a problem as well as coaches having too many players to keep track of in practice, smaller and injuries can play havoc with the team. Doesn't mean he will not take more, especially when some of the players he has are 'walk-ons', but the preference has been stated.

Agree. Preference is the most important word. Too many people read that as gospel and cite that as reason why we don't go after certain players harder. For Example Durr & Nurse could not coexist on the roster and Cox & McCoy.....
