Four scholarship tailbacks are plenty (one more than Woody's famous "pair and a spare"). If Beanie bails as expected, we'd have Saine as a junior, Herron as a RS soph, and Hall and Hyde as true freshmen, and you could bet that at least one if not both of Hall and Hyde would be redshirted barring injury to Saine and/or Herron. If Beanie stayed, both Hall and Hyde are absolutely guaranteed to be redshirted.

So, yes, taking two tailbacks in this class would be enough,

Plus, Lamaar Thomas might some some spot duty there as well. That gives you a fifth option for tailback.
