UC has zero available scholarships.
We can make room just like we did with Gaines for Lawrence. There is always room for better players at a weak position.
No one on UC's roster is leaving in the next couple months.
You dont think Cronin would trade Nyarsuk for Wiltjer? I DO
Not at this stage, no. And Cronin would look terrible for doing something like that this late in the game.

I know, but there are ways around it. Maybe we have one player who gets good grades and could get money that way, somebody would be willing to take a half scholarship, somebody else leaves, etc. It know that it is not likely to happen and more of a dream, but I just like to throw dreams out there sometimes......
Problem is your dreams aren't based on any sort of reality. Basketball players can't take half scholarships. You can't just get good grades and switch to an academic scholarship. This stuff gets stated over and over on here.
Basketball players can take half scholarships, look at St. John's and all of their teams in recent years. As far as academics go, there are tons of scholarships out there, maybe there is an incoming freshman who could qualify for one but took a basketball scholarship instead.
No, they can't. You are wrong.
How did St. John's have 16 scholarship players then?

Can We get partial qualifiers now in the new league?
There are unique situations which can allow you to have more players than scholarships (like someone being a walkon) but there are a lot of rules in place for them and they are typically pretty complicated. However, there are no partial scholarships in mens basketball. That is a fact. You also can't just get an academic scholarship by getting good grades. Even if you could, it would still count against the limit.
Someone on UC could decide to pay their own way next year and that would free up a scholly. But it isn't going to happen.

Not all players were on scholarship. I counted at least 3 walk-ons. Also not sure Orlando Sanchez counted against the limit because he was ineligible.
Also not sure about Amir Garrett since he is a professional baseball player with the Reds.
