Pgh Sports Now in this article says that the Dukes have one more scholarship left.  How can that be?

4 transfers sitting out. We are really gonna be thin on the bench next year. Any injuries will kill us. Jason Duty, where are you????

Pure speculation on my part, but maybe one of these: 1) Jordan Robinson does graduate and transfers; 2) the little point from Akron is going to be a preferred walk on rather than a scholarship player: 3) either James or Littleson is leaving. JRob might be it but he would be a starter and that would make little sense to me.

Wonderous what Coach has done!

I stand corrected on the Recruiting section of Board is states that Akron transfer PG was a 2 Star.  Sorry for the gaps in the wording/grammar. in my last post, typing too fast - maybe I am just excited again about DU Hoops!

Pete, I speculated on the Akron PG transfer for this reason. We had barely heard that Coach was coming and he tweeted he was transferring in. Is he just following his coach or did he have a schollie offer? I don't know. Would love one more big!

Hook, isn't the transfer 5'8" from Akron a 3 Star?  If so I doubt he would be a walk-on.  I for one would hate to JRob, EJ or SL leave.  JRob, as others have said, gets less playing time anywhere else if he is in fact graduated - which I guess he could as he had to sit out an year.  EJ, I just don't see if unless it is a lower level as he would most likely play a ton if he buys into KD's system.  SLittle, I still see potential (size, shooting and smarts) that can be cultivated under KD, why leave?  I think SL is the kind of player that would flourish under KD.  Anyway, I am thoroughly impressed with what KD is doing with this short recruiting window.  He is building beyond year 1 right now!!!

Tavanian is extremely loyal to Dambrot and Akron was his only D1 offer.  I was a bit surprised KD would give him a 'ship at DU.  He announced he was transferring minutes after the KD to DU was announced.  I assumed it would be as a preferred walk-on.  Don't have any knowledge for sure....just my opinion.

Here it is: they never reported on Kratholm.

That could be it. There wasn't a ton of info about him or his commitment.

Not sure. Unless someone is walking on or someone else left, the numbers add up to 13 scholarships.

This still has me curious if the article is accurate,  The article stated that Coach Dambrot is looking to get another big man.  At this point we have 13 scholarships accounted for, and four "bigs" on the roster. Not sure he would go for another big at this point in the recruiting process unless for some reason one was not solid. Guess we will have to wait and see, but I am hoping that the Pgh Sports article is wrong.
 

You get 13 scholarship players. That's the limit. So I don't believe you can take the 13 scholarships (or any number of them) and divide them among 14 players.

Unless the rules changed.
