Down 13 to 14 scholarships?

[tigerblood]

Cub said we are down 13 to 14 scholarships in a previous post and I was just wondering where all those players are. I could think of Brad Shedd and Andrew Benevides out due to injury and was hoping someone could tell us who the other players are. Are there alot ineligible and if so what does that do to our APR situation for next year?

Just off the top of my head, these are players who are out for the season (or have suffered career-ending injuries):

1. Richmond
2. Benavides
3. Pleasant (may be back before the end of the year)
4. Gupton
5. Ghassemieh
6. Brock
7. Fuapau
8. Vae' ena
9. Petersen
10. Walker
11. Shedd

That list doesn't include guys like Moore, Rover, Davis, Zamora and Berger, who have all missed time with injuries, but may or may not be back.

The correct phrase was "down 13 or 14 Scholarships"...not "down TO 13 or 14 scholarships". It means that we are missing about that many scholarshipped athletes from our playing roster because of injuries.
