It will be the first year in awhile if not any transfer or leave the program. We have even had more than one in some years.
Yes - here are the numbers of scholarships (for one reason or another)
that
opened unexpectedly each spring - there may be some I missed - lmk:
2012-13 - 3 (Tucker, Shayok, Crawford)
2011-12 - 2 (Stewart, Hodges)
2010-11 - 4 (Abell, Harris, Maniscalco, Davis)
2009-10 - 1 (McCain)
2008-09 - 1 (Norris)
2007-08 - 2 (Austin, Cole-Scott)
2006-07 - 2 (Brown, Jassey)
2005-06 - 1 (O'Bryant)
2004-05 - 2 (Rembert, Stemler)
2003-04 - 2 (Suggs, Paul)
2002-03 - 2 (Granger, Marcetic)
2001-02 - 2 (Tucker, Tisby)
2000-01 - 1 (Corbitt)
1999-00 - 4 (Selby, Flanders, Clancy, Biddlecomb, Brown)
1998-99 - 4 (Lee, Kirsch, Atkins, Schairer)
1997-98 - 2 (Moran, Collins)
1996-97 - 2 (Grundy, Rigby)
as you can see - Mo had a lot of unexpected turnover the final few years and it led to him having to go out and get a bunch of freshmen for 00-01 & 01-02 and the subsequent drop off
in wins led to him getting fired - EVEN THOUGH - those freshmen he brought in in 00-01 & 01-02 turned out to be GREAT players (Gillingham, Gilbert, Cello, Granger, Tisby, Tucker).
then the rate slowed down considerably all the way thru the JL years to just 1-2 per year and has picked up again to about 3/yr.
I did not count Michael Ochereobia, Xavier Crawford, John Wilkins because they were never firmly in the fold thus they never had a scholarship actually committed to them
...they were never firmly committed, nor admitted, nor sign a LOI...only those who did are noted.
BTW - Josh Cunningham had 14 pts, 6 rebs last night - Kain Harris had 20
