Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2677229, member: 40"] What am I assuming? We didn't use all available scholarships, so it is a moot discussion. But if we'd had the opportunity to add another player, then it would have been a good strategy to have Buddy take advantage of the loophole and not be on scholarship, so that we can have 14 "scholarship" caliber players on the squad instead of 13. Maybe that will be something that manifests down the road, unlike this year, so that we can add that player -- or maybe it won't. I don't assume that it will come into play, because JB rarely recruits a full roster of scholarship players, but I do recognize that it would be a smart way to stash an extra player. Said strategy doesn't imply that Buddy isn't deserving of a scholarship, imply that he won't be a major contributor throughout his career, or presume that the only reason he's here is due to being the head coach's son.
