It's been a topic of conversation on the board and a sometimes heated discussion during the London years.

A lot of schools don't invite some 5th year guys back to clear room for younger guys or let them play somewhere else. Would you want a 5th year guy around if he can't crack the lineup in 4 years? I think it depends on the kid, but imo if you're good you won't be around for that year. Thoughts? Because even if Bronco RS guys more (I see both sides, we need younger speed when we can get it, but some positions depending on depth need the weight room and to sit vs. wasting a year), better management of that should solve that problem.

I just see schools more and more letting older guys go who aren't performing to clear space. UVA needs talent no matter if it's a freshman or a developed third or fourth year guy. This will be a little different for Bronco because he won't have guys leaving for Mormon missions.
