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

I count 10 SRs:
Jai Eugene
K. Sheppard
Richard Murphy
Josh Jasper
Derek Helton
Daniel Graff
Joseph Barskdale
Terrance Toliver
Pep Levingston
Drake Nevis

That is assuming Murphy doesn't get a medical RS.

So plus PP, that's 11 not 10.

Most likely attrition guys


Attrition usually occurs after Spring practice when the depth chart is made. Those that see themselves decreasing to 3rd and 4th string may leave to a smaller school. When JRs and SOs see freshmen ahead of them they may also leave.

how in the world does saban sign 27 to 30 every year?

I read a article in ( forbs? ), about some kind of medical scholorship?

At any rate, i think miles makes room for the must have's one way or another. Going to be some greyshirts if need be.

With Ridley most likely coming back and the way Ware looks. DO you guys think we may lose any RBs? Especially with the possibility of having Hilliard, Hill, and Magee.

I know drayton was switched to cb and pretty sure gore was switched to wr.

79 current scholarship players. We lost 9 scholarship SRs. Also, Peterson, Ridley, and Calhoun have left for total of 12 putting us at 67 scholly guys. With the self imposed sanctions, we can only have 83 scholarship players. That leaves room for 16 players.

The amount we sign over 16 is the amount that we'll have to lose to attrition from the current roster. With the sanctions we can sign 23. This 23 includes Cameron Fordham who walked on last year. If we sign that amount 7 current players will have to leave.

67 + 23 = 90

90 - 83 = 7

iirc, Fordham walked on after they asked him to greyshirt, is it a given that he will get a scholly now?

Im surprised there has not been more attrition at this point. I would think that players would be looking to get to another school for the spring

I thought the self imposed sanctions were just 2 less recruits for the coming year, not total scholarship players? As in we could only take 23 commits, but could still have 85 schollies??

Edited OP for the signing class:

79 scholarship players to end this past season. We lost 9 scholarship SRs. Also, Peterson, Ridley, and Calhoun have left for total of 12 putting us at 67 scholly guys. With the self imposed sanctions, we can only have 83 scholarship players. That leaves room for 16 players.

The amount we sign over 16 is the amount that we'll have to lose to attrition from the current roster. We took 23 players in this class. This 23 includes Cameron Fordham who walked on last year. With that amount, 7 players will have to leave.

67 + 23 = 90

90 - 83 = 7

Edited OP to account for Worle leaving the team.

I'm really disappointed that Worle left the team. I really thought he was going to make a splash at FB this season.

Anyway, 6 players in the red right now

Edited OP for Randall commitment:
quote:

79 scholarship players to end this past season. We lost 9 scholarship SRs. Also, Peterson, Ridley, Calhoun, and Worle have left for total of 13 putting us at 66 scholly guys. With the self imposed sanctions, we can only have 83 scholarship players. That leaves room for 17 players.

Underclassmen attrition:

Patrick Peterson
Stevan Ridley
Drayton Calhoun
Brandon Worle

We had taken 23 players in this class. This 23 includes Cameron Fordham who walked on last year. The recent commitment of Randall makes it 24. With the scholly restrictions only 23 can enroll. This means if everyone qualifies, someone will have to greyshirt. With the 23 that enroll, 6 current players will have to leave.

66 + 23 = 89

89 - 83 = 6

Incoming that still need to qualify:

Mickey Johnson
Alonzo Lewis

If 23 enroll, 6 current players will have to leave. So as of now:

66 + 23 = 89

89 - 83 = 6

Rumored attrition:

Chris Tolliver - med hardship
Kellen Theriot - med hardship
Ryan St. Julien - med hardship
Tyler Edwards
Alex Russian

86 - 85 = 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.
