What happened to the university scholarship money Sawyer was looking so much for at 16YO?
I wonder how much the Eagles spent on his education package....

You don't spend education packages on players who turn pro and don't go to school. He wanted the money as a backup in case he wasn't quite good enough for the pro level.....looks like it wasn't necessary now but that doesn't mean it wasn't the right decision.

Do you have nothing better to do then re-hash nearly decade old situations that do nothing but explain how your team got to where it is today? Maybe some investments into a JC Sawyer keep some of the locals happy and buying tickets....too bad we'll never know.

He was good his last year(5th), but not so much before that.... How was he worth spending scholarship money on or perspectively? The Titan, IMO, gauged him pretty good....

Yeah, no team has use for 5 year defencemen who are impact players at 19 and 20. He was certainly worth spending money on.....because none was spent on him.....you STILL don't know how any of this works....and it's clear you never will.

I know how it works and I repeat: they gauged him pretty good.....at 20, JP Cote was better than him no doubt. Sawyer was good, but not overly. He was not worth risking sholarship money on...

JC Sawyer was a top 5 D in the entire league at 20 and a 2nd team all star. How is it not worth risking a scholarship for someone who ended up not needing the scholarship? I don't even think you realize what you are saying.

Hindsight is working against you in this case not helping you, you are in over your head here. Teams promise scholarships to plenty of players to get them to report and NEVER have to pay them a cent once they turn pro, do you understand this?

If they "gauged" him so well, why did they draft him in the first place... only to trade him six months later? Another blown first rounder by the Titan? JP Cote was a great pickup. If you overlook the fact that it was part of the reason Tyler Reid was sent to (eventual champion) Gatineau, it's a hell of a trade.

Great point on Reid, although the real factor in the decision to trade him to Hull was when Janis Sprukts came back. Unfortunately for Leo-Guy and company, Sprukts wasn't the same player as he was the year previous..... and of course Reid was a stud en route to the Q title. Cote was one of the best 20s in the league that year, no doubt about it.

It was chsb's friend Fillion who refused to go to RN that caused Reid to be traded at the last second. Fillion for a 19YO ppg forward plus we get Sprukts back and we keep Reid. That was a good deal that was screwed over by Fillion. Plus Fillion then poisoned the room against Sprukts which made Sprukts less effective. They should have just cut Fillion loose. It would have solved more problems.
