Plethora?" We had how many decommits?


Well just off the top of my head:
Janzen Jackson
Kenny Bell
the Farrell kid from Florida (LB)
Henry Orelus
DeAngelo Benton
Dexter Pratt

That's 6 players and I'm sure I missed some. That's 25% of the scollys that we gave out. We had to scramble to fill the last few spots.

Orelus and Wooten were the only two who really compare to the situation this year, when we have a bunch of early OOS commits.

There was a lot talk about Orelus leaving for a while. That wasn't a surprise.

Losing Wooten sucked but I seem to recall nobody cared because we all thought we were getting Debose.

ETA: I don't count the Farrell situation. We don't know the whole story there. I think we basically ran him off.

More of a "we parted ways" type of thing.

we definitely cut ties.

Depending on what story you believe, we cut ties.

Looking more and more like we cut ties...

Scrambling and picking up Sam Montgomery is not a bad trade off. Sans Jackson, I'd take him over any player on that list twice over.

I think the only other one was Rantavious Wooten...
