this entire situation really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. hopefully something works out and trey can be back with the team as a bench player next year
It'll be a Johnny Dishon situation, i.e., he'll be drafted in the 52nd round and he'll sign. You can't coach speed.

He's possibly the best base runner in CBB right now.
First off...do you watch enough CBB to say this??
Second...if this is your reason for not cutting a guy, then you are actually providing a reason to cut him...

Players will continue to work the system if drafted with no loyality to the school. This is why... 11.7 scholarships and everyman for himself. It's all business now. Bad choices are gone as are bad performances. How hard a decision is signing with pros or a 1 year scholship?

They've limited the rosters since skip
This is the result of the ncaa implementing bad rules

I agree with you. It seemed like Skip didn't do this very much at all if ever. I am not sure how you keep your recruits if they see, if you have a bad year you will get cut. Matty Ott should not have survived if that were the case blowing all of the saves that he did... So to be fair, I beleive Paul needed to have a discussion after fall ball versus now.
Skip never had to do this because there was unlimited roster space. We used to carry at least 45 players on the roster at times.

assuming "release" means "revoked their scholarship"? Maybe I haven't paid attention much at all, but I've never heard of a player being "released" because of bad performance in college. Bad behavior, yes.

Did stringent roster limits exist during Skip's tenure as coach?

i'll always remember him for hitting the game winning hit against uc irvine last year. its a shame, but he just never was the same after the injury.

would it be so hard to cut down that horrendous hitch in his swing and improve his contact rate? and hit him some flyballs in the OF?
I'm sure that this was never done in practice...

Did you really think that Watkins was a legit starter?
And I still remember when Watkins was benched last year. That may not mean much right now, but I know that he never impressed me as a player regardless of any coaching he had.

If PM plays this game, I don't see how he has the right to throw a fit when a hs kid signs a contract after telling him that he was coming to LSU. PM is a hypocrite.

he started every game last year before he got hurt.
i dont remember him being benched last year. Maybe i am missing something.

Well, he got worse and his swing was the same. It was a horrible swing for anyone with that much speed.
