I've seen quite a few comments on the board stating that we should hold on to a scholarship instead of filling it in this class. I love NU Hoops but I'm still getting my head around the nuances of recruiting. Can someone explain why we would do this?
It seems as if every year we have a significant injury (Coble, Shurna, Law, Rap, Falzon etc.) or some other unforseen mishap/transfer (Vassar, Lathon). Why would we want to go into the season with a less than full roster? Is the idea that we are getting better and with another NCAA Tournament appearance we can go after even more elite recruits? That kinda makes sense to me, but seems like a gamble.
What's the rationale here?
