Scholarship numbers (long)

Mar 27, 2017, 8:42 AM

based on the sound of things we have 9 spots that are available...However we are recruiting a lot of high end guys that would be hard to turn away if we didn't have the spots. Looking at our numbers I was trying to find ways that we could add these guys. I looked for guys that could graduate and leave early/transfer and this is what I came up with.

at least one RB---Choice or Fuller this really comes down to whether Fuller is the starter and has a good season and leaves early for the draft. I don't really see a scenario where either one would leave early by graduation and transfer, but it could happen.

WR- I could honestly see Cain leaving and being drafted. I could also see a WR maybe transfer due to playtime because we have the best WRs in the nation in my humble opinion. but the only 1 for sure that could leave early is Cain if he has a monster year which I think he could.

TE- we know we lose Greenlee to graduation. but if Cannon Smith doesn't get PT bc of Milan Richards or Garrett Williams being the primary TE rotation I could see a scenario where Smith graduates and transfers somewhere for immediate PT. I personally like Smith bc he is a big ol boy that is very athletic. I hope he plays a ton this year and is one of our top TEs.

OL- The only one I could see leaving early is Hyatt but honestly think he is the type that values a degree. I don't see anyone leaving early on the line...this is a good thing!

DT- I think Jabril Robinson could graduate and move on. I would say the same thing about Sterling Johnson but he is only a Sophomore so I think he stays. He could end up being one of those Dodd type of players that light turns on his RS SR year.

DE- I don't see anyone leaving early unless Bryant and/or Ferrell have monster seasons. they would both have to have at least 10.5 sacks before they leave I think.

LB- The Davis twins enrolled early, and they graduated HS early. They may graduate early and come on as some type of student coaches or GA. I'm of course spit balling here but he have elite LBs and more to come.

DB- I don't think we lose anyone other than the SRs--if Fields has a very good season, maybe.

S- no one

ST- will Spence transfer? if he gets beat out by Huegel and they both are coming in to their RS SR seasons I think he might. Maybe he goes to Coastal and finishes his career there?

so looking at the above scenarios we could potentially add 7-9? so a total of 16-18 scholarships. That would be great if that happens bc 2018 looks to be one of the best groups in a while and we have a shot at many in the top 20-25
