Sounds like we won't get up to 85 Scholarships for another recruiting year. Definitely not this year.

I didn't think so, but now I'm not so sure. We haven't heard a peep out of a lot of the guys who didn't play in the bowl, which is interesting.

I went through the guys with remaining eligibility, and I count 52 who have not announced any intention to leave. I think about 3 of those guys are probably at risk to leave. So that's 49-52 returning scholarship players.

49 + 32 = 81 on scholarship for 2022
53 + 32 = 85 on scholarship for 2022

That's without counting the guys who are still in the portal - Deion Smith, Bugg Strong, and Koy Moore. If any of those guys come back, they would add to the numbers above.

All of that said, we are currently sitting at 22 total commits for 2022. So we would need a full 10 more transfers/signees to get to those numbers. But it definitely looks possible as of right now.
