I come in peace on this one. How does baylor generally handle attrition?
FYI, "Attrition" is a euphemism for cutting scholarships and/or pushing athletes to transfer. Okie Lite is notorious for it. LSU used to be. Others are not so bad. Typically, 3rd year players who have not made it are the ones pushed out.
I ask b/c Rhule said in Dec that he only planned to take 15-17 commitments. I looked at the scholarship distribution and it looks like there are 68 returning scholarship athletes plus a walkon PK who deserves a scholarship. So, that would mean Rhule did not intend to cut anybody (I assume he was telling the truth).
Was that Rhule's philosophy or was it dictated by the administration?
I guess Rhule inherited an unusual situation: Most of his '17 class were actually committed to him, not the previous coach. He probably got most of Briles problem-children out after yr1.
