Kind of curious how many greyshirts we'll have this year...obviously don't know yet because we don't know who else will be gone from the team now till August...but I do know Josh Johns is a definite greyshirt and Josh Williford is willing to take one if he needs to.

Anyone else (Tahj Jones if he qualifies?)

Does that mean you lose a year of eligibility?

I have a grey shirt with the number 140 in the middle of it. I don't wear it either.

I won't promise you that I can explain it without confusing you but I will try. A player is allowed 5 yrs to play 4 seasons. The year starts as soon as the player enrolls in classes. If a player waits until the spring semester to enroll he is considered a greyshirt. This means he will play his final season the 6th year out of high school.

I have a grey shirt too. It says "NORML" on it. I've had it for several years. I keep forgetting what it means.

Not sure if anyone is going to need to be taken as a greyshirt. The 2009 class ended up being smaller than we originally had expected.
