OL Evan Cardwell not expected back with Alabama's football team

TUSCALOOSA -- Alabama senior center Evan Cardwell is not expected back with the Crimson Tide's football team this season, the Press-Register has learned.

Cardwell has dealt with a recurring back injury during much of his collegiate career, though it's not clear if he will go on medical scholarship. He has already obtained his undergraduate degree from UA and is currently enrolled in graduate school with a sports management specialty.

A product of Brooks High School in Killen, Cardwell played in 26 career games for Alabama. That included seven starts at center when injuries and suspensions hit the offensive line during the latter half of the 2007 season.

Cardwell won't be the only departure as Alabama seeks to hit a target number of 85 scholarships in the fall. Senior linebacker Prince Hall transferred to Central Washington. Sophomore linebacker Jennings Hester is taking a medical scholarship for "chronic hamstring problems," according to his high school coach.

The Crimson Tide is likely to announce more attrition before fall camp starts in early August. Alabama coach Nick Saban has not confirmed the departure of Cardwell, Hester or any other players not expected back in 2009.

Should I worry about attrition? If so, are you guys worried?

LB Charlie "signed to try to get Tim Tebow" Kirschman won't be returning for the taghd. Also, K Leigh Tiffin is rumored to have his scholarship taken away, but he'll still be on the team...only without a scholarship. So, that put the taghd at 71 scholarship players on the team with a little more than 20 coming in....that means around 6 more players that'll be taken off of their scholarship, watch out Seniors

Perry, since attrition is apparently new to you and it appears that the only time you've observed it was at Alabama, why don't you check out Ole Miss. There should be some interesting number crunching going on there this offseason.

When you're done you could look at your own program. If you're still interested in attrition when you're through with that you could look at every other football program in the entire country. You might become educated and find that attrition in every program is both inevitable and a necessity.

Tyrone King and P.J. Fitzgerald were also walk-ons awarded scholarships last year. Both will be back to non-scholarship status and still on the team this fall.

I thought the other one was Alonzo Lawrence....the guy that shouldn't have qualified in the first place.

If you believe the message boards, he may be the next to go. That would bring us down to 69 on scholarship.

Six more to go. Ya'lls arresting season is coming up in about 3 weeks, so that number will be reached rather quickly.

Stars and Strips, weekend, huh? Well, I can't think of a better way to recruit high school boys than that.

TIFWIW, but I heard each attendee will be receiving this book:
