There will definitely be more. At least 5 imo because we're recruiting a bunch of kids that have us in their top group.

Is my understanding correct?

Any kids that get booted now will open ships for EE. If a kid isn't renewed a year from now, for example, then it would open a spot for the Fall. But the max for Fall is 25 provided we are no more than 85. Right?

And then graduate transfers could come in as long as there is room, right?

Was going to say as soon as Pete posted that Brini would commit to UGA that King should pack his bags.

I posted a few months ago that the only reason King was still here was because we were recruiting Brini.

I was thinking the same. Brini told us no, so we told King "we're sorry, but…"

Top tier players will frequently get a bye when it comes to "off field issues" (depending on severity). Guys like King that shouldn't be there talent wise don't have that luxury. That's just an excuse to get rid of a golden mistake

Raise your hand if you knew we had a player on the roster named James King...

if you don't know you shouldn't be glorifying that. Anyone who's been paying a little attention knows who this kid is, how he was a late flip from Booker T, and recently switched from LB to S. If you don't know this then you don't know the current state of Miami football. Makes me wonder what you do know.

can't believe dudes think it's cool to not know who's on the roster..

Yep.....all of this.
 
Agree... Coach Richt has a vision... so regardless of our (the fans) opinion... He knows what he needs to make a vision a reality... I would take his judgment over ours...

Miami Hurricanes safety James King leaves program | Canes Watch

Sophomore safety James King left UM, a program spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.

King left the team “to pursue other options,” according to a press release.

King, who saw action on special teams as a freshman and moved from linebacker to safety this spring, was given a “full and unconditional release,” coach Mark Richt was quoted as saying in the release. “I want to wish him the very best in his future moving forward.”

A source with knowledge of the situation said King was dismissed for off-the-field conduct, and did not leave on his own accord. UM would not confirm that.

King was shown in a photo posted Monday night by UM safeties coach Ephraim Banda, who apparently invited his group over for a home-cooked meal.

In what might have been his last get-together with his Hurricanes teammates, King, second from left in the image below, is shown with his arms around Jamal Carter and Jaquan Johnson.

King, a two-star recruit from Miami-Booker T. Washington High, was a surprise addition to the 2015 recruiting class. He was committed to FAU until Al Golden‘s staff offered him a spot a week before signing day.

At a ceremony where he signed his UM letter of intent next to his future Hurricanes teammate, prized running back Mark Walton, King boasted he was “the best linebacker at Booker T.,” which won four state titles in a row.

He said he planned to go to UM “to work my behind off and start someday.”

Another angle to the story: according to CanesInsight.com, King is the cousin of two high school standouts Miami is recruiting, Hialeah-Mater Academy’s Latavious Brini, a 2017 cornerback, and 2019 athlete Montavious Brini.

Peter Ariz, CanesInsight’s publisher and a Miami Herald correspondent, wrote Sunday that Latavious Brini, who had previously stated he planned to commit to Miami, was “unlikely” to wind up a Hurricane “based on what [Ariz] was told [Sunday].”

I'm told King kept farting at the dinner table at Banda's house and blaming it on Banda's wife. That's why he got booted.

It's worse than that transgression.
It was the fact that he used the salad fork instead of salad fork at the table.
We don't need those type of players associated with our program.
