re: Kiner and available scholarships

Here is a direct quote from the article….”the off-season overhaul continues, whether Kelly wants it to or not. The new head coach has talked about using the last few spots on the transfer portal and now this could be another scholarship for his staff to use in the coming weeks.” Kind of confusing knowing what I think I know about the scholarship rules but I wasn’t sure that’s why I asked. 10 down votes for asking….seriously?

Soooo i think i know what the author might have meant...
There could arise a situation where even though we have 3 remaining recruiting spots, we would be unable to take in more players IF we were at the 85 scholarship limit. In this scenario, Kiner would be out (-1 scholarship), we would then be at 84 scholarships, and we can afford to pick up someone from the TP.
HOWEVER, i really doubt we are at the 85 man limit. we had sub 40 scholarship players for the bowl game and i dont think we've given out 45+ scholarships since then. Also, the staff has said many times they are actively looking to use those three spots, which, if the article meant the scenario above was true, then they staff is hand in hand looking for new players while looking to cut current scholarship players. That would be messed up

I do frequently think about how if Peyton Todd progressed as he should have and if Skinner didnt lose his spot on the team, we wouldve saved two transfer spots by not having to pick up the LS and the punter from ND and we wouldve had more spots to pick up guys for needed positions... oh well, just more prove Ed O was ruining this program

Im kinda of ranting now but....
I am curious if the staff, in order to not completely waste remaining spots, picks up a TP guy who might not be that talented or in a position of need just to use the spot rather than let it go to waste.
At this point, a body is a body and if hes willing to compete it could help the team
