Scholarships?

Post by OrangeCountyAggie » April 27th, 2020, 5:32 pm

In a recent interview in the SL Trib (https://www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-stat ... asketball/), coach Smith said we have 1 open scholarship for next season (with Queta returning).

Assuming we get 13 scholarship players, to whom are the other 12 going? Is there another commit we don't know about? Is Stall for sure returning? Is Dorius getting a scholly? In my calculation, we should have two open for next season, what am I missing?

Returning Scholarships:

1. Sean Bairstow
2. Alphonso Anderson
3. Liam McChesney
4. Brock Miller
5. Neemias Queta
6. Justin Bean
7. Marco Anthony
8. Kuba Karwowski

Newcomers:

9. Steven Ashworth
10. Rollie Worster
11. Nigel John

Unknown:
Klay Stall
Trevin Dorius (scholarship?)
Carson Bishof (in transfer portal)

I would hope that Stall isn't taking one of those. USU should thank Stall for his service time and wearing the Aggie Blue. He made a commendable effort to try and make a go of playing but his body just didn't hold up. He should be encouraged to move on with the thanks of Aggies everywhere for coming here.

I had commented many times while he was being recruited that post players with lower extremity injuries are a gamble, at best. Knees and ankles can be fragile on these guys and don't always heal to pre-injury form.

Seems like Stall is going on about 10 years in the program.

IMHO, we can’t afford to keep Stall on scholarship. We have incredible post-depth (Queta, Bean, Dorius, and John) without him and a huge need for ball-handling and shooting.

Ive heard Karwowski isn't coming back either.

Cade Potter is home from his mission due to COVID-19, so add him to the mix. Probably the same for Steven Ashworth, unless he goes back out for another 9 months, or whatever it was he had left. He wasn't expected for another year, so he might have to wait to start his clock.

I thought it had been reported on here that cade would go back out and that ashworth mission would have been around June either way. Not saying you are wrong or circumstances have changed but we’ve had other things on here reported.

Ashworth is serving in Indiana and is not home yet but they do expect him in the fall. I also do not believe they are expecting Potter this fall.

You are correct. Ashworth is done.

My mistake. I had heard as recently as last week that he was still in the mission field.

Agreed. He must be on his 8th medical redshirt, and have 25 more years to play one season.

Sorry. I meant to say he’s finishing up and it doesn’t have anything to do with the Rona. Pretty sure he gets home in a couple weeks.

Why isn't Karwowski coming back? Was he banking on Queta leaving so he could be the starter or something?

Dorius was starting to look pretty good and worthy of a scholarship if Kuba is in fact leaving. If Stall uses up another scholarship next year warming a seat on the bus and bench I'm going to fedex a box of feces to Duryea. What a waste of a scholarship for the past decade.

While I agree (and I would be happy to donate to this cause that is very dear to my heart if you are running short on crap), some of the blame has to be put on the current coaching staff. Scholarships are year to year, and while I applaud loyalty and honoring agreements, this is beyond acceptable to keep bringing him back if he has no chance of playing.

Didn’t he disappear for a few weeks during the season. I’m not for dumping on a kid, but did we ever figure where he was? It was almost he took an extended Christmas.

Seems pretty heartless to ditch out on his teammates in the middle of the season for such a selfish need. :joking:

I guess that is ok. But shouldn’t that type of surgery signal maybe it’s time to move on?

I appreciate loyalty, but you have a program to run. You have a player who has 0 to very little stats over like a 4 year period. He has nagging injuries. he should have his degree by now. his scholarship should be given to someone they can bring in and compete and help the team win games.

The ncaa has a program that is a medical retirement where the school can continue to pay for a players education until he graduates but he can no longer participate within the program. It seems Clay circumstance would fit this program

That's what I first thought when some were negative about Stall being on a scholie. Due to his medical issues, I think it's best to tamp down the criticism until the day that he is actually on the active roster and taking up a scholie that could go elsewhere.

This has exploded a bit more than I expected. I thought we'd heard from 22 that Stall would likely be given the "medical retirement" treatment. Is that inaccurate?

Stall like some other talented folks had injuries derail his career. I hope that he can be a good GA for us.

Confirmation that Klay will not be back next year. He is not medically capable of playing.

Stall is the most injured dude there is. No shame in his career for injuries, some of us hope that he hangs his shoes up with no regret and never gets injured again and has success in life.
