Buddy obviously deserves the scholarship as he is one of our best players, but that wasn't really the point of this thread.
Alsacs is taking wayyy to much heat here. A few others feel the same way. Now I don't think he will come off scholarship, but here's a scenario to consider:
We lose one guy(lets say Carey) and gain 2 scholarship players who we have so far recruited...Eli decides to stay...
What if there's a chance to get that big guy or Towns and it's a difference of having 21-23 wins next year or being a legit contender? JB has always wanted to win. He won't take Buddy of scholarship? or Buddy wouldn't volunteer? I highly doubt it.
