And counting Fordhan, Mickey and Alonzo qualify (I believe that makes 24 incoming) Exactly how many other players (besides the medical hardships) do we have to (-for a lack of better phrase- ) do we have to get rid of?

First of all, we cannot have 24 even if they all qualify. We are limited to 23 bc of the sanctions. If all 23 enroll we would be 1 over the limit and would have to lose 1

Update: MJ and Alonzo Lewis not reporting for team today. MJ still waiting to be cleared by NCAA. Looks like Lewis will do the JUCO route.

If MJ greyshirts, then we are even with the numbers. If he gets cleared and joins the team, we will still be 1 over the 85 limit.

That's what I'm curious about. It looks like everyone is still listed on the roster after today (I don't know if they updated the whole roster or what). But I would assume that MJ would take a greyshirt at this point. I don't think Les would give someone the boot if he qualifies in a couple weeks

79 scholarship players to end this past season. We lost 9 scholarship SRs. Also, Peterson, Ridley, Calhoun, Worle, Tolliver, Theriot, St. Julien have left for total of 16 putting us at 63 scholly guys. The self imposed sanctions for overall scholarship counters were retroactively enforced according to NCAA ruling on 7/19/11, so we can have a full 85 man roster.

Underclassmen attrition:

Patrick Peterson - Draft
Stevan Ridley - Draft
Drayton Calhoun
Brandon Worle
Kellen Theriot - Medical Hardship
Chris Tolliver - Medical Hardship
Ryan St. Julien - Medical Hardship


We took 24 players for the incoming class which includes Cam Fordham. With the scholly restrictions only 23 can enroll. Alonzo Lewis did not qualify and is headed to JUCO. Mickey Johnson is still awaiting NCAA clearance and may join the team when cleared or take a greyshirt. Alex Russian will not be on scholarship this year which frees up a scolly if Johnson qualifies.

That brings us to 84 scholly guys as of now. So we are officially: -1

Yes he's still on the team. Word is he is graduating after the summer. So I'm not real sure of the rules for eligibility for someone that graduated but I think he can take less classes so it will probably be less expense.
