Am I trippin' or how do we have 4 available scholarships next year?

You trippin....and we will have 4 by next year.
Becaaaaause?
Probably the most realistic wouldn't it be?
Probably because we've had attrition every year this century.
While you can't say 100% that we'll have 4 rides available, it's highly, highly likely.
But would it be highly likely to sign 4 in the early period when there are no signs that anyone would go for sure?
I would think only 3 would be signed in the fall, and the staff would build relationships with some players who are deferring to spring to sign. That would probably lead to a 4th (if needed) being a player who is not even on the current radar.
If the right four guys wanted to sign in the fall, they would sign them.
I can't remember the last year that there wasn't attrition.

Is it possible to revoke a scholarship from a previous coach/year. For example, if this year plays out poorly for one or two guys, can Underwood say "sorry buddy but after your play last year I don't think you are a scholarship player on this team next year." Basically forces the young man to transfer to a school where he can get a scholarship and opens up a spot for Underwood's guys?
Cream puff did it at Indiana every year, even with his own players.Is it possible to revoke a scholarship from a previous coach/year.

If we want to eat at the adult table and there are four who players that we want who want to sign then we sign them.
About a week ago, Illinois offered Nate Hinton, a 6'4" SG from NC. This shows how puzzling recruiting is. The kid has one offer from a weak NC school (UNC-Charlotte; he didn't even get offers from Winthrop or Davidson which are less than 30 minutes away from his HS), and yet he has FOUR offers from BIG schools (IL, IN, MN, MD). At the same time, 247 gives him a National Comp of 288. He gets virtually no discussion on this board, like it was a toss away offer. For me, his offer shows two things: (1) there's a lot going on below the surface we don't know about; and (2) rankings don't mean a lot this time of year.

All scholarships are year to year regardless of a coaching change. It's just a bad look to not renew them without cause. The better way to handle it is to be honest with a player about his future role with the team and let him make the decision.
Didn't he just get like 15-20 high major offers this month?
My mistake from the earlier post--Nate Hinton did have offers from Winthrop and Appalachian State. Add MI and Penn ST to his BIG offers--now up to SIX. He went to a small private church-sponsored high school his sophomore year then transferred to a small private school his junior year. That's one reason he's been under the radar. Here's an article from the Charlotte Observer from about a week ago. The offers that came in one week are amazing. Interesting article:

Actually the Big Ten went to 4 year scholarships some time ago. Having said that, it doesn't prevent a coach from having a frank discussion with a player about their future and that player deciding to move on. But "not renew without cause" isn't an option.
