@CecilHurt Alabama freshman forward Jeff Garrett has been released and will transfer, per his high school coach. Sat out last year as a redshirt.
Yep. Let's stock up on some quality. If not, leave one open for next year's stack class.So now we have 3 schollys to give?
Not true. I agree it's slim pickins, but there are still a few guys that Coach is looking at that would have greater impact than Garrett would have. That includes 5th-year transfers, JUCO, former signees of other schools (he's looking at a guy that was a VCU signee before Shaka left), a couple of unsigned 2015 guys. My point...some of those guys can have a greater immediate impact than Garrett would have, that's all.The only people that are left on the market are Jeff Garrett type players.
One of the good things about getting the kid from Cullman to walk-on is that if there is an open scholly then you can give him a free ride for one year.Something to consider with CAJ's roster management/recruiting for 2015. Retin is the only sure open scholarship after this season. With the in-state talent in 2016 and 2017, Bama might not be in horrible shape if CAJ decides to not fill every scholarship spot just yet.
We may only go 6 or 7 deep next year if this is the case but I would rather do that than give out a scholly just to have bodies.Something to consider with CAJ's roster management/recruiting for 2015.

Walk-on players and Nick King are what make practice effective when you have a small roster.^ How can you practice effectively without at least ten players? Wouldn't better players/athletes lead to more competitive practice scrimmages?
I'm puzzled. At best.

Me also! Sometimes, it happens! I really think that we will fill this out by the time practice starts. Player development is what should be happening this summer.I've been there and done that.
