On a somewhat related note, I believe I now understand the scholarship situation. Unlike most if not all major conferences, Lehigh and probably the rest of the Patriot League treat their scolar athletes with the respect they deserve. When we make a commitment, it is for four years and not one. I was told that Dr. Reed is still honoring the scholarship commitment for a player who’s career is over. I assume we know who that is but he wasn’t mentioned by name. That would mean we have the full complement of 13 scholarships to work with (although 1 will still be taken up next year).
If true, which I’m fairly sure it is, this would open up a 3rd scholarship for the class of 2014.
