i know we've discussed this in the past, but here is a reminder about how college sports is in regards to rosters and players having scholarships...this reminder comes by way of espn.com's andy katz (as he discusses what awaits the new hoops coach at kentucky):
• Kentucky had some funny math even before the flirtation with John Calipari. The Wildcats had one scholarship open but signed three players under Billy Gillispie, meaning there had to be attrition either through the NBA draft, transfers or scholarships not being renewed. Whoever is the new coach is likely going to have roster-upheaval privileges. Remember, scholarships are technically renewable every season.
