Has the potential and size to be a solid player Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Word is there isn't anyone else from the current team leaving at this point so our signing number (I think) is set. We have 65 scholarship guys returning from last year plus the 12 we signed in December for 77. We have 2 commits not signed and then we would have room for 9 more so a total of 11 more guys would be possible. That will obviously depend on how things shake out with Mapieu and Smith. And we might not get all the way to 23 either but I bet we get close. 2 Quote Link to comment

That'd be 88, can't take that many if no one else from the current team leaves, so we'd need at least 3 more from the current team leaving before next fall.

FrankWheeler Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks Mav! I love how we have the same conversation every year about how many spots. Quote Link to comment

Oversign by 3, makes up for recruits not making it to campus (Blades, Watt) and also post spring departures Quote Link to comment

It would be shocking if we don't have more attrition after Spring. Guys get an idea of where they might be on the depth chart and start to look elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment

As has been noted by others, we can sign up to 88 as long as we're back down to 85 by June. Quote Link to comment

Thanks Mike Riley for putting like 7 walk ons, on scholarship recently. That cant be a normal number is it? I could see like 1 or 2 guys. Quote Link to comment

I just looked it up and the other guys were seniors prior to 2017 season so they are all gone. Guessing he just used those scholarships up since he under recruited every year? Thanks again Mike.

That's the entire point of my post. If we sign 88, then we aren't done with current players leaving. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) We currently have 15 commits. Frost had said the number is 20. With Lee and Gates gone, we could sign 23. Getting Dixon as a transfer would obviously decrease that number. I think we're looking for 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 OL, 1 DL, 1 LB and 2 DBs. Then possibly another WR, 1 TE, another OL and another DL depending on how the numbers work out - especially with Mapieu and Smith. Jurgens may also end up at LB which might explain why we're still looking for TEs and help fill the numbers at LB. Current Scholarships/Commits QB - 2 - ADRIAN MARTINEZ, Matthew Tago, Jamarye Joiner, Cam Taylor RB - 2 - JUCO GREG BELL, Javian Hawkins, Ta'zhawn Henry, Maurice Washington WR - 4-5 - JUCO JARON WOODYARD, JUSTIN McGRIFF, KATERIAN LeGRONE, JUCO MIKE WILLAIMS, Dominick Watt, Andre Hunt TE - 1-2 - CAMERON JURGENS OT - 1-2 - Hamilton Hall, Doug Johnson, Blake McDonald OG/C - 1-2 - WILL FARNIOK, Jarrett Bell, Tyrone Sampson NT - 1-2 - MASRY MAPIEU DE - 2 - TATE WILDEMAN, Daniel Carson LB - 2-3 - DAVID ALSTON, JUCO WILL HONAS, Javontae Jean-Baptiste CB - 1-2 - JUCO DEONTAI WILLIAMS, Braxton Clark, Taiyon Palmer, Kendrick Torain S - 2-3 - CJ SMITH, Cam'ron Jones, Tyrese Ross K - 1 - BARRET PICKERING ATH - Miles Jones Edited January 11, 2018 by Mavric Updated 3 Quote Link to comment

If we over sign by three and Mapieu and Smith don't make it, we really only are long by one player. Even in normal/good years, there's typically someone that falls off after Spring and into Summer. That said, I'm sure Mav is right. But, I thought we had to be down to 85 by the start of Practice in August....not June. Quote Link to comment
