Wasn't sure why we still couldn't get Trace? Is the remaining scholarship targeted for somebody else? Either way I'm glad the Gassman got a ride.

Two sides to this. On one hand Muller has said his plan was to fill one and pocket one for next season with "no seniors." Even if we fill this scholarship, I'm sure we'll still have our typical defects next season. Likely candidates (SPECULATION ONLY) Williams (search for PT), Milik (grad transfer) or Elijah (sit 1, play 3 at Maryland?). Not trying to get too ahead of ourselves, the point is, as every year, we will have more scholarships available than anticipated.
On the other, Young is still available. The thing about Trace, like most of our other recruits, is that his lead recruiter was Yak. I can see Young moving on and Muller pocketing the scholarship and signing a walk-on or two to fill out practice.

He has to have a good year because Muller is recruiting like he has 2 open scholarships (not including defects) for next season.
sportenwood said:So for those wondering about scholarships and Young and the like, here's my interpretation. Ike got the "one in hand." Next year it goes to Chastain (or whomever Muller chooses) and it's only a one year for Ike (although he certainly may earn longer). The one Muller was planning to offer for this year is still available if Young (or whomever) wants it. The 2018 offers Muller is making will come from the Ike one, or defections, or if Chastain doesn't earn one.

The question is.....is he the best shooter on the team at full-game speed with another 6-5 guy running at him and jumping into his space? I would guess that person currently is Copeland.
