Scholarship Situation
Miami lost 6'5" PF Tim Pollitz to graduation after the 2007 season and signed 6'7" PF Julian Mavunga in the fall of 2007. 6'9" C/BF Vince Legarza will join Mavunga in the class of 2008 as a walk-on but will receive a scholarship starting the 2009 season. 2010 PG Alex Moosmann transferred from Miami thereby freeing up a scholarship that was filled when incoming 5'10" Freshman PG Kramer Soderberg signed a LOI in the Spring of 2008. Six players will exhaust their eligibility after the 2008 season and 1 of those scholarships will be assigned to Vince Legarza. Therefore, Miami has five available scholarships to award to players beginning in 2009. The next signing period ("early period) will be mid November 2008 and the "regular" signing period will be mid April thru mid May 21, 2009. (updated 6.10.08).
