PREFACE: I think we are saying the same thing...but let me explain a little further just to make sure...and by the way, this is purely hypothetical...
If Boone and Gholston, who are a part of the 24, leave early and open up two spots for '08 that is two less spots that will be available when the 24 (now 22) graduate...thus reducing the number of scholarships available in '09. At the same time, anyone who is a part of the 19 players in the class after that that leaves early next year would bring that number back up...to where we are guessing it will be around 23-25...
