I think 14 or 15 coming on board at some point,&#8221; said Howard. &#8220;So in terms of things, I hate to say out with the old, but in with the new a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cObviously we don\u2019t want them to be cut or lose their scholarships or whatever that might be or whatever that might look like. At the end of the day, Coach Lucas has a goal, has a vision. We have a goal as an institution and a vision as well to win and that\u2019s first and foremost.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"first-93344983\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas reportedly addressed each player individually to inform them that their scholarship would not be renewed, which means these players will have to enter the transfer portal and scramble to find their next program if they want to play again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And to make matters worse, it&#8217;s already late in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe said that we weren\u2019t able to practice much, which we weren\u2019t and she said based off of that, she was not able to renew my scholarship so I didn\u2019t really get any time to show what I could do,&#8221; said Maurisa Harris, a junior at Grambling and a three-year player on the team. &#8220;When I was in there and she told me, my heart completely broke. Of course and I didn\u2019t cry in there, but I did when I left and it just hurts really bad, the fact that it was snatched away so fast.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we can&#8217;t recall seeing a decision to cut players at this level before, it&#8217;s not entirely unprecedented as institutions have done this to players throughout history.<\/p><div id=\"first-543971769\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And coach Lucas has the right to recruit her own players for her program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it still hurts those involved who now have to leave the place they once called home and find a new place to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We thought the shocking news coming out of Grambling State would have subsided after Hue Jackson&#8217;s hiring debacle involving Art Briles.
