Players Leaving the Program

[SB Shock]

Fair enough. But have we done this before?

I think WSU has done this every year in fact. Maybe it hasn't been to this magnitude (mainly because the program hasn't many years like last year). I think it just happens like in B-Ball - at the end of the season coaches meet with players and say:

"hey, your 4th on the depth chart at 2nd but would love to have you stay for depth but you are not going to play, but if you would like to go somewhere where you can get playing time we can contact some coaches we know...."

Yes I am sure that happens every year, I was talking about taking away scholarship money. Has that been done before? I think the answer is no.

It's a shame that these boys were told that their scholarships would never be taken away and they were. Maldonado was never really given a chance. He pitched in the midweek games which were tougher than any MVC games. Rosecranz was drafted out of high school as a catcher and was told he would catch at WSU when he was recruited. He got to WSU and was never given a chance to catch. T. Brown had the highest batting average on the team. He had 16 multiple hit games and a 9 hit hitting streak and the only 5 for 5 game. He was moved everywhere on the field--in positions that he had never played and they never worked with him on and if he made an error he was benched unlike others that made errors. There were 6 others that had their scholarships taken away also but haven't been named. They chose to stay because it was WSU baseball. The 5 that left didn't all leave because of money, they left because of the way they were treated by the coaches and because they could go elsewhere and actually get to play their positions. From what I hear Kyle Sisney and Taylor Brown are both going to the University of Central Oklahoma and will play the infield together. Don't believe everything you hear about the 5 that are leaving and don't think for a minute that they wanted to leave but they weren't going to walk on because Gene asked them to. How absurd is that when they can go elsewhere and get pretty much of a full ride. Anyway, good luck to those 5. They are good kids and will do well whever they go.

The new NCAA rules made it necessary to release a number of players. If you are so much in love with the ones that were released whom who have you recommended. WSU had no choice so get used to it.

yup blame the NCAA, not Gene

Bingo. :good:

[pogo]

Family member or not I can't believe that ANYONE would be told that their scholarship would NEVER be taken from them. Scholarships are renewable from year to year and from what I understood %'s were also adjusted from time to time. I'm sure that some of them did not get to play where they wanted and some of them were not going to get to play where they wanted next year but that is the way life is.

Look at http://www.shockernet.net/sn/viewtopic.php?t=13175; there is some baseball news in the link (in my last post in that thread). :D

Johnny Coy is using a basketball scholarship to attend WSU. Does he count in our total when adding up the baseball players on scholarship?

Good luck to all the guys who will be playing elsewhere.

My guess is that he would be considered a walk-on for baseball and count towards the 35, but not the 27.

I don't know but would guess the exact opposite. He is going to school on an athletic scholarship, so I bet the NCAA counts him towards the 27.

My understanding is that if a player is on scholarship for any sport and plays football, the scholarship is deemed to be a football ship; similarly for basketball, a player who participates in two or more sports and has a scholarship, it is deemed to be basketball; all other sports, the school names the sport.

[SubGod22]

Coy definitely doesn't count towards the baseball 'ship limit since he's on a basketball 'ship.

[shock49]

THe ONLY thing Johnny will count towards is the roster limit,Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
