Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 1418172, member: 393"] If Chukwu does come here, his scholarship will count toward the 15-16 season even though he will not be able to play. We will then have one less scholarship to offer to the 16-17 class going forward - it doesn't matter who might leave early for whatever reason, we will still have one less than we could have offered. Taking Chukwu will also delay the start of the 4 year scholarship reduction by another year. I think people might be minimizing just how much those scholarship reductions are being used against us in recruiting, especially when combined with JB stepping down in 3 years. I realize that most of you are already factoring in that the penalty is going to be reduced after the appeal is finalized. Even so, I'm not so sure that spending the scholarship resources on a project like Chukwu is in the best interest of the program for either the short or long-term. [/QUOTE]
