@TPM posted:Did the coach legitimately take away their scholarship? Some here seem to think that is what's happening, it's not.
Again, I don’t know how you can speak so emphatically about this. I know for a fact that happened to multiple people on our team. My sons roommate will be surprised to know it’s not happening after he was told point blank that they wanted his scholarship back to get someone from the portal and he should leave. His mom, who was crying as she moved him out of the house and tried to find some one to take over his lease, will also be surprised. I know for sure about 7 players on our team that this happened to….
I realize your son may not be doing this with his team, but we have lots of friends currently playing at different schools all over the country. It IS happening.
Of course there are lots of factors playing into this. Portal. longer eligibility (we just took a kid who graduated 3 years before my son and they are both Juniors (eyeroll)), coaching changes, and coach success pulling experienced players from the portal instead of developing the ones they have, short draft in 20, and shorter draft now. I make myself very educated about the current state because we are living it.
