I know that no one wants to talk about this right now with A-Day this weekend, but, does anyone here at RBR or anyone else with inside info have any clue about who will suffer from attrition between now and August? If at least 25 guys make it in from this year's signing class isn't it something like around 15 players currently on scholarship that will either be taken off the team due to medical reasons or be asked to try to find another school to play at.

I
have no idea but I think all of our recruits who haven’t qualified yet still can. I have no idea when the public schools end their year but I suspect finals aren’t even until May. I imagine we’ll know for sure once the school year ends.
Is it August yet?
There will be some attrition
Probably people like Corey Smith, and maybe a few of the RB’s that are buried on the Depth Chart will transfer somewhere to get PT

Who knows?
I don’t really want to list names, but I think we can all browse the roster and find some names.
Prince Hall is an obvious candidate because of his off-field problems, and the odds are probably that he does not return now. However, aside from him, if you go down the roster you can pick out a lot of Shula guys and 2007 recruits that simply are never going to get any meaningful playing time here. Again, I’m not going to name names, but I think we can all find it with a quick roster browsing.
I imagine we’ll see a good bit of movement with those guys.

That sucks for them
I know its for the betterment of the program and all. I just dont want to see guys who have given there all but just fall shot ability wise, lose their scholly. I want this program to have the best talent around but at what cost…

I sincerely doubt...
….anyone that has “given their all for the program” but fall short ability wise will be cut. Its the guys like Prince Hall that can’t stay out of the dog house that should be worried.
wait no...
if you change the b to a t is makes satan. wow… how long did the auburn english department work on this discovery
Actually...
…there is. They teach billiards.

They started out
calling it “pool”, but when everyone arrived in swimming trunks, they changed the name.
Just because
of the Awkward situation with David Housel showed up in a speedo

It was a joint venture..
between Auburn and UT. They had the help of their finest professor, a woman that used to work in the cafeteria, and a cow-doctor that flunked his mid-term. They compiled the information using knowledge they gained from two english books, a 1983 Field and Stream, and a copy of Moby Dick with the last two chapters missing.
And they couldn't finish it, because
every time someone mentioned the whale they giggled

It took them six-months
and the help of a fifth grader to get past the first paragraph. When they saw, “They call me Ishmael” everyone decided to stop reading because no one knew Spanish.
Oh
I smell troll. This guy comes in here and starts a thread about our attrition and then he has yet to reply to a single post.
Is it August yet?
You can add one definite name to the list....
Corey Smith, former backup kicker has requested his release from Coach Saban in order to transfer somewhere else (I assume somewhere that doesn’t require him to kick a football between the uprights of a goalpost or within the right and left boundary lines).
When was that?

omg saban is the worst evhar!
just like what our (not a troll) original poster, says the attritions starting to take effect. Corey Smith. by my count thats a grand total of 1. one, uno, primero, eins, 1. 1 player has now taken it up the @$$ as brian cook the sage said would happen. 1 player, a kicker, being released forma scholly so he can go somewhere else on a scholly… what a heartless, evil, selfish, and ruthless person coach saban must be. oh, but if i could only go back in time and tell mr cook just how right he was. 2 years later, our kicker gets a free relaease from his scholly so he can sign another one with a school that can use him and he can actually get playing time…. Saban shoulda done liek they do in pee-wee ball, let em all play, there parents are here, they put int he practice time. it’s only fair. apparently rich-rod does it and michigan is no worse for the wear…
welcome to the SEC kiffykins...
I've always felt that
Scholarships are rewarded to players based on their potential(not the bench warming potential) and with that players should work their A$$ off to prove they are worth that scholarship. If they haven’t showed any appreciable progress by their third year, then they haven’t proved they are worthy to compete for playing time and are really not worth the scholarship. Sure there are always exceptions, namely our probable starting QB this year, but for the most part I tend to believe progress should be evident to keep their scholarship.
And for all the Brian Cooks of the world, these players would probably know they aren’t going to see the playing field as well as anyone else, by the time a scholarship would be pulled from them, they should be seriously contemplating transferring.
