A lot of coaches don’t to use all their scholarships, preferring a smaller group. Mike Krzyzewski was a prime example of this at Duke. He didn’t want to just have the maximum number of guys; he wanted the right guys. Remember eight is enough in 2015? That sums it up.
We can appreciate that approach because it worked very well. However, when we watch Hansel Enmanuel play, we can’t imagine not offering him a scholarship if only for the emotional impact he might have on a team.
He’s had to learn a whole different way to play since he has just one arm but look at how far he has come (his arm was amputated after a boyhood accident in his native Haiti).
