Alabama. Not sure they had no returners, but they did add 8 or 9 from the portal.  Not all that unusual (to add a bunch), but their success (Final Four) was.  

That's the hope I'm talking about! I have faith in Coach!

It was USU and Danny Sprinkle’s first year, who won a game in the NCAAT but then got spanked by Purdue …… he then pulled a Tags and went to his dream job at Washington.

we had 3 returning players this year. seems to have worked out ok.

this is how college sports works now. every year is a rebuild until they come up with multi year contracts.

That's a thought I had also.  Young guys step up.

I'm so old, I can remember when multi-year contracts meant that you put in the work 4 years in exchange for tuition, books, room and board, meals, nutrition specialist, training program, personal trainer, occasional per diem money, pride in your chosen school, and eventually a degree.   Not intended to place blame on anyone for what college sports has turned into...its all about the $$$.  Just doesn't seem the same now when players chase the money like pros (and coaches do, too).  I root for the name on the front of the jersey.  Sad to hear CY doesn't want to play for USF anymore.

Not sure he will get much more because Kasen Jennings returns and he is pretty good as well.

there has never been 4 year athletic scholarships to my knowledge. Just another way for the schools to take advantage of the athletes.

they are 1 year contracts. Looks like that has come back to bite them.

It's not biting "them, it's biting the fans.   "Them" don't care because they're still cashing their checks
