Pittman Might Have Another Opportunity to Sign Players
It is the current manner of doing things. Similar to the necessity for Razorbacks sports director Hunter Yurachek to have a roster of available coaches at all times, the assessment process is very consistent and involves a lot of “what-if” maneuvering with the players. A lot of inventive math appears to be reaching scholarship limitations.
The majority of us believed that, should Michigan win the national title, the troubled Harbaugh would return to the NFL. He presumably decided the moment was appropriate after completing almost everything on his list of goals. Whether or if all the hoopla about potential NCAA sanctions contributed to it is a question that is genuinely asked.
Other schools have experienced the same situation for a century. Get out of town when you know you’re going to be caught carrying the bag. He does leave a squad full of talented players and a number of former top prospects.
I do not necessarily mean to speak of beginnings. Recall that after spending a year with the Razorbacks, Drew Sanders who did not start every game while at Alabama became the team’s top linebacker on his first practice.
Now, all of the players on that squad are eligible to transfer right now. This implies that at some positions, a second or even third-team player may be more suitable than the current roster.
Once more, there are two sides to this dirty business that collegiate athletics has turned into. In essence, schools can chase off athletes who are unable to hold off. Players and schools do not have to commit to four years of study abroad programs.
Since Nick Saban left Alabama, the Hogs have not acquired any players. It most likely wasn’t from not trying on the ones that were offered. Pittman now assigns his staff the task of assessing the Wolverine roster or determining who knows whom in case a player becomes available. You didn’t anticipate that this roster would be resolved so quickly, did you?
