I believe Sabbatino Chen will give up his scholarship after this season giving us 2.
Wasn't he given Cain's scholarship. I believe we have one.I believe Sabbatino Chen will give up his scholarship after this season giving us 2.
He was only given a scholarship this year because it was available. He earned it, but it was a short-term agreement.Why?

It should only be 1. There are 2 open slots right now, but they've signed 5 and only graduate 4 seniors.

Sorry, this is an awful explanation.
There are currently 11 scholarship players, I believe (Chen may be 12). With 4 graduating seniors, and 5 incoming freshman, they'll have 13 on scholarship next year, including Chen (who I expect to be on scholarship next year, regardless of his status this year). Chen will then be the only graduating senior after the 12-13 season, leaving one open scholarship for the 2013 class. This is, of course, barring a surprise signing this spring (we have room for one more next year) or additional attrition over the next 18-24 months.
tunks sharpe and mills?I expect some attrition

Another question. What are the chances that Tunks, Adams or Sharpe don't utilize their redshirt year and graduate in four years? I know Sharpe isn't much of an academic but I have no clue about Tunks or Adams.
Badly worded on my part. What is the chance that Tunks, Sharpe, or Adams don't use every year of eligibility on their undergraduate degree?Tunks and Adams have both redshirted. Mills has not.
Tunks and Adams have both redshirted. Mills has not.
Without Cain, this could change. Especially if any players end up in foul trouble.very surprised that Mills did not redshirt this year since he has only seen a few minutes of game time. I am guessing that Tad doesn't think he fits in his system and doesn't want to bank any years for him.
I went to the roster and did a double-check. http://www.allbuffs.com/showthread.php/62823-2011-Colorado-Basketball-Roster-amp-Schedule
Freshman: 5 Incoming
Sophomores: 2 (Ski and Mayor)
Juniors:5 (Sharpe, Roberson, Adams, Tunks, Mills)
Seniors: (Chen)**
I count 12 with Chen being the possible 13th. And of course attrition.
Lets just say I would feel differently about taking away Chen's scholly if he came from the inner city.
no disrespect to sabeteno because i appreciate his effort and brains, but lets be real, he is not deserving of a scholarship. With CU making a big splash in basketball, those scholarships should be extremely valued. We have some serious talent that are on our radar and I think that we should not handcuff ourselves by only having one scholarship. Anyone else have thoughts?
So... how many scholarships do we have?
Regardless of Chen's situation, there's one available for 2013 as of today. IF the staff decides to use it his spring (which is probably unlikely ), that's gone. Attrition could create more.So basically, nobody knows.
