Hester said this morning we have 51 players for the bowl game including 6 walk in’s who just been put on scholarships. Is that with the coaches knowing who is opting out and the academic casualties?

Damn you coach O

How incredible would it be if we put Kirklin under center and went service academy offense?

51 available scholarship players for the bowl game.

That is 51 AFTER injuries, transfers, opt-outs, etc etc....

51 is what's left.

What’s the Covid testing policy? Will all players be tested upon returning from Xmas?

Edit: NCAA rules say unvaxed need to be tested 3-5 days after return. Unvaxed do not need to be tested unless symptomatic or within close contact.

I think most of the players got the jab

That's a low number for an extended run of multiple games, but that's OK for one meaningless game.

NFL teams have 53 players. LSU will actually have considerably more, including walkons.

I had estimated 50-60 scholarship players available. So, I think the 51 is where we are with everything that is public and everything that is being kept in house right now. I would not be surprised if the number slipped below 50.

That 51 includes -

K - A. Atkins, C York
P - P. Yodd
DS - Q. Skinner

So that's 47 position players.

Brennan may have been told to wait because they want to be less than the minimum…

That’s enough for 4 teams. I think we’re good.

That's about what we had in high school and it worked out fine.
