21 non JUCO by my count. It’s been a net gain for us undoubtedly at this point. But it’s a double edged sword.
We lost our top CB to LSU, top Safety to Ohio State and our top DE to Texas Tech this past offseason. Other players who stayed have said that they were offered substantial NIL deals to go elsewhere but wanted to stay.
We need it for survival. And it’s helped build us some depth.
