coaches DO have different systems and not understanding that can bring about some "stress"
A) some coach's rosters will be "set" when their players arrive at school. They will teach, work and develop that roster until the season starts. there will be an occassional "red shirt" player tho rarely is a player "cut". the travel squad will be determined and often changes week to week.
B) other coach's rosters will be set only after fall workouts/tryouts, & cuts. players are often "redshirted", midyear transfers are not uncommon, and "cuts" are the norm to set the roster. when the season begins the travel squad will be determined and often changes week to week.
if you research & listen carefuly during recruiting it will minimize surprises.
people DO choose both types, some may have no choice because their offers are all from one type and it works for them -
but if you're expecting type "A" and find yourself in type "B", well . . it can cause some discomfort & have you questioning whether you were really listening during recruiting
hope that helps someone

eh . . stamp? veteran contributor? -quote:by bbldoll: Closer for last 2 years with great numbers. He was told his services weren't needed
that flat out translates to "off the field problems"
tho if he's still listed he "may" be trying to work himself out of the "doghouse" - - good luck to him
