Tennessee coach Dave Serrano's opening day lineup card will likely feature 5 true freshman and just one returnee from last season's squad.
quote:
This season's roster features 23 newcomers and nine returnees. Serrano dismissed or did not renew the scholarship of 16 players since the end of the 2012 season.

"These guys will have a better understanding of what to do. Twenty-one true freshman is a lot, but these are my guys. If you did not buy in last season, we didn't have a place for you. It's a much closer group now."
Holy shite I have never heard of this. Basically a whole new team.
13

Not surprised, Serrano cleaning house.

How many of the cuts were done between the fall and the spring? LSU cuts some kids between the fall and spring every year and it bothers me.

I like it. If those other guys aren't going to win you games, it's time to move forward.

Roster changeovers arent uncommon in baseball with the very limited # of scholarships, but this is definitely a house cleaning. Serrano probably just wants to get his guys in to play his game and the old guys just didnt care to buy in nor were probably talented.

See it's facts like this that I do not understand how anyone can be mad if Saban medicals someone or processes someone.
In non-revenue sports (baseball, track, golf, etc.), you get CUT. Done. See ya.
In football, you get help to transfer out or medical scholarship where you still go to school for free without any need for your athletic services.

Does Tennessee have the lottery, if so how many schollies does that provide? NCAA doesn't allow many baseball scholarships.

A friend from my high school here in Texas was one of the players cut.

What's the worst that can happen? Another losing season like the last 4-5? At least guys can gel together and I would imagine be pretty decent in a year or two.
