odds of a player quitting after a cut? Topic

I know this thread is 8 months old... but thought I'd pass this along.  Last season, I signed Randall Dunn as a JUCO to be the starting SG for my D2 Wooden team at Bluefield State.  I also signed Michael Scott as his freshman backup.  I left after one season to join a more populated conference, and my replacement rescinded Scott's scholarship (for which I don't blame him; Scott wasn't a terrific signing of mine and certainly wasn't destined to be a shining star). 

But Dunn responded by immediately quitting the team, too, and he is now a 724-point D2 transfer being recruited by oldresorter's D1 Cincinnati team.

So, apparently, it can happen.
interesting.

FYI, transfers like this are taken by d1 teams all the time to do things like, fill a spot so you can get carryover. when a guy like this goes to a d1 school, or is recruited by one, it doesn't really say anything about that player, except that he has 1 yr eligibility and is therefore better than a walkon in every way (unless, i suppose, he is bad enough to be worse than a walk on by ratings - i doubt a d1 AD would allow you to sign that player, however)

I have had it happen to me.

Similar to the case that shafty posted above, I took over Northwestern in Smith this season.  I cut two players that the former coach had recruited and after the second cut, another player ( one that I hadn't intended to cut) decided to leave the team too.  He now plays against me for Penn State.

it happens, rarely, but it happens...

Interesting.  I did not know this was possible.
