I think we will sign another full class of 25-26 kids in 2018.
Richt mentioned that we should have 41 on offense, 41 on defense and 2-3 for specials.
We currently have 81 players on Scholarship for 2017.
-39 on Offense and 40 on Defense and 2 Special teams.
So we start with 4 scholarships.
4
Seniors (10):
O: 6 (Berios, Herndon, McDermott, Darling, Linder, Odogwu)
D: 3 (Moten, Thomas, Harris)
S: 1 (Badgley)
This will give us 10 more scholarships for 2018.
10+4=14
Redshirt Seniors: (Asked to move on if they can't contribute or may transfer to start somewhere else)
O: 5 (Rosier, Gray, Harris, Langham, Jones)
D: 6 (Willis, Jackson, Owens, Smith, McCray, Mayes)
My guess is we will lose at least 7 of these guys.
14+7=21
Early NFL Entry: (guys who may be good enough to declare if they have a good season)
O: 1 (Walton, Cager)
D: 2 (McIntosh, Norton, Dean)
With our luck we will lose 2 guys...
21+2=23
Attrition: (Guys who get passed up or get messed up)
Some of the guys mentioned above will be a part of the attrition for sure as they may not see a future at the U or get in trouble before they graduate. But we will most likely have another 3-4 underclassmen in addition to the players above who get kicked off the team or leave for various reason.
23+3=26 Total spots available for STORM18:
We need:
1 QB: None (Should pick up at least one solid QB every class)
2 RB: Lingard (Will need 2-3 RBs in the class)
3 WR: Wiggins (should pick up 3-4)
2 TE: None (will need 2 in this class)
4 OL: Scaife (Will need 4-5 to replace the graduating seniors)
3 DT: None (Will need at least 3 depending on who leaves)
2 DE: None (Stacked but should pick up 2 more to replace Thomas & Trent)
2 LB: None (Should pick up at least 2 in every class, can replace based on attrition)
4 CB: Jobe, Ivey, Patterson, Burns (Need to updgrade with more Miami caliber players)
2 S: Frierson (Stack up with such a strong class)
1 K: None (Need to replace Badgley)
Total: 26 (12 Off, 13 Def, 1 ST)

Great detail, and I generally agree, but I have to think that at least 1 QB transfers, maybe 2, and more of the backup OL will also.
