Logan Loya commits

[Sparlimb]

What has Coleman proven?

He's proven he was more size and speed then any WR we've recruited out of high school the last 5 years. So, that's not nothing.

Coaches show kids the door all the time and let them know their time is up and they need a new home. May not classify as yanking scholarships but they aren’t just going to let someone stick around if they aren’t improving or if they are over their head.

Just saying unless the coach is in their first year (where they are allowed to cut players) they have to basically talk the kid into deciding to leave or come up with some bs medical retirement or something to get them removed.

First year coaches are allowed to "cut" scholarship players??

Huh?

Pretty sure. See Colorado.

Pretty sure. See Colorado.

Cut isn’t the right word but if coaches think it’s time for a player to move on, he moves on one way or another.

No.

This First-Year Coaching Rule Should Be Made Permanent | FishDuck

There is a strange rule in College Football where a first-year head coach with a program has the ability to remove players from the football team...

They can cut players from the team to free up scholarships. The players can continue to attend school on scholarship though.

I don’t think it’s quite that easy.

Yeah, it kinda is — how many kids stick around here on scholarship stay healthy and never or hardly contribute and use up all their eligibility without transferring or otherwise moving on?

Not many, but that’s their decision, not the coaches. Coach can say hey you’re never going to play, and most kids will move on, but it’s still their choice.
