Stole this from the rant. Wondering how many scholarships we have open now from the limit of 85??
We now have these four guys + Micah Eugene and Jeryl Brazil gone and the other 7 guys who left for the draft + the seniors
I think we had 14 seniors walk on senior day and Connor Neighbors stayed. Making 13.
We have 6 who have "left" making 19 and then we had 6 leave early for the draft (7 if including alfred blue, but he is already in the list of seniors).
That would put us at 25 exactly (if all the seniors who walked were on scholarship).

Don't know, doesn't really matter either. We are not going to have an over signing problem.

Yeah I figured but this could help us next year and allow us to sign more than 25.. correct?

What was the reason for Micah Eugene leaving? I never heard or saw anything about it really. I'm assuming because of playing time??

How is it four more when it's the same guys we already knew were leaving? More would imply that its someone else.

I never saw anyone saying Lorenzo Phillips was going to be leaving but I guess I dont creep hard enough. Either way it's finally official.

Had to do it to get 25 this year

There isn't as much graduation attrition for obvious reasons this year, and 6 players is pretty standard. I think we still need a few more spots to sign 25.
Edit for bad math

S.O.P. at every major football program.

Isn't Fobbs another one not returning. Anyway the last i heard was we still needed one more to leave to sign 25 and still be at 85.

Yep. And I think we have close to 20 seniors for next year. Many who have barely played, maybe even some that might transfer because of the incoming freshman.

I saw that on NOLA.com and came over here to check and see if anyone had comments on how it might effect recruiting. It opens up extra scholly's, and I think this is a good sign. I kind of read the tea leaves on which athletes are being recruited heavily, and compare that to remaining scholly's a lot. When there are only a few openings left and the coaches are going after guyswho look like a fallback option I figure they see the writing on the wall with a top player and are looking to replace him. With more slots to fill I think maybe they are trying to get the top guy and another guy too, not either or. Hopefully we get a few of the top names on the board and find a couple of quality three star diamond in the rough guys too.

Most prominent rumor on Eugene was pot, but we'll never know. He showed promise so I doubt he'd transfer on his own.
According to the rant Phillips and Edinburgh didn't make the grades and will attempt to return after juco.

Just helps get this class in and if we don't fill them all, adds to how many we can bring in next year. I choose the latter unless they are all studs. No reaches.
Sandolph is a little puzzling. Anyone know the backstory on him? He was said to be looking good in practice and only a rising soph.
The others were obvious

I agree on saving the spots for next year.
Sandolph was grades I believe, but I'm not sure on that.
