We will likely have more than 20 available this year...

If spots for additions to the '08 class are provided by underclassmen transfers, then the spots available for '09 should remain the same, all else equal. If they are provided by NFL declarations, then next year's class will shrink, not by the number of declarees, but by how many additional prospects we sign (Pryor, Jenkins....). I hope this makes sense.

Wow grad, we got scooped on that one...
As grad and I were talking about, would love to see this kid without pads to get a good look at his frame. But love the film...especially on defense. Shows good natural instincts to go with a nasty streak... |

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... |
