Probably not the best start for him with the new staff

Diminutive and underachieving slot receivers that has been recruited over should probably give the new staff zero reason to make an example out of them.

I thought he's been off the team for a few weeks now. Assumed he quit.

wow. not a good time to screw up.

He's been off the roster for a few weeks.

Remember not too long ago the "three strikes" (but not really) enforcement. I like the no strikes policy...if you do anything detrimental to our football program or university then you could be off the team and lose your scholarship.

Selective enforcement for now, especially for tiny, unproductive receivers. Morris wouldn't have a no strikes policy for his best players any more than any other D1 coach trying to win games. Don't kid yourself that he'd dump his starting QB via a no strikes policy.

Strong gave his guys multiple strikes and chances to change their ways. All the ones he jettisoned were repeat offenders who refused to get with the program. I'm sure Morris will be much more disciplined and on top of his guys, which is a good thing, but NO coach in D1 football has a zero strikes policy, especially for super stars. They can't have a zero strike policy because so many of these kids smoke weed today, most D1 football programs would be unable to field a team with that policy!

if they get nicked by an NCAA Drug Test at a Championship-you get an automatic 1 year suspension

Get nicked as many times as they want within the program and the punishment is at the coaches discretion.

I'm sure the NCAA will change the marijuana rules sooner rather than later as well.

No its not at the Coaches discretion. Every school has to have a drug policy and the school must enforce it according to the policy. See Syracuse and by the way several other schools which we have brought up several times over the years. School policies can differ-there was an article that compared policies around the country

and the coaches and AD and everyone else running these mega million sports conglomerates have NOTHING to do with the development of the school drug policy. Bob Stoops had NOTHING to do with Mixon getting back on the team or Green-Beckham being allowed on campus. These are just clueless coaches in bubbles who have no control over the players on the roster or the creation of the rules governing their behavior.

Right

Does this mean there are now four scholarships to use for late recruiting?

There's not really any scholarships to use for late recruiting. We still need attrition
