Idk the exact rule, but you can't add spots to the roster just by cutting kids. It will probably give us another scholly for next year if a walk on doesn't get it but you can't just cut kids on the team to make room in the same year.


Moffitt walks on and gets awarded a scholarship this summer (Valentines). Moffitt's offer for this cycle goes to another player win/win.

What is stupifying is all of the work that Valentine put forth to finally be on the team, and then he throws it all away, by not putting the effort in to stay on the team, get in better shape, etc.

Why would he throw all that away after the effort he made to be accepted back onto the team.

Seriously, I hope he finds the motivation necessary to turn his life around, maybe even make an NFL team, but it's probably just as likely you will see him at the neighborhood popeyes scarfing down as much food as he can.

i'd prefer Lawrence, Alexander, Shelvin, and Wilson, to go along with Lacouture who is coming back, over Valentine... he would have been, at best a 2nd team rotational player, but there isn't a lot of drop off from him vs. incoming FR...

Yep and don't pop off to coach Pete! Coach O don't care for that too much.

From a post when it happened:
quote:

If your wondering why this guy doesn't see the field much, take a look at Kendall Beckwith's snap chat, @kbeck. The ENTIRE team is dancing around getting hyped up and getting dressed for the game, and Valentine is just laying on the floor on his phone. Then Kendall posted another video 20 minutes later and Valentine is still just laying around and Beckwith's post even says, still hasn't even moved! I hope this guy wakes up and has a better work ethic because he could be really good, but it just seems he just doesn't have that drive like the rest of the team.

You cant backcount back that far. If anything it would have opened up an EE spot but that has passed.

I've read on this board the other day that we have an offensive tackle transfer coming around the same time as signing day or maybe shortly after.

It doesn't add another spot for the recruiting class. Maybe next years class not this one.


Why not?
You can only sign 25 recruits per year and there is only one way to expand that number.

If you signed less than 25 the previous year, you can back-fill the difference with early entry guys in the current year. So, say we counted 23 guys last year, we could sign 2 early entry guys this year, plus 25 other guys (either early entry or Summer/Fall enrollees).

Where processing comes in, is you have an 85 scholarship limit and all of your signees and returning scholarship guys have to fit under that 85 player cap. If you don't have enough space under the 85 player limit, you can make room by "processing".
