Looking at the current number of scholarship players on the roster + commits arriving in the summer. Here are the numbers
QB (5)
RB (6)
WR (10)
TE (5)
OL (18)
DT (10)
DE (11)
LB (9)
CB (8)
S (7)
Specialists (3)
That's a total of 91 players that could possibly be here. We will need to trim 6 to get to the 85 scholarship limit and then also 1 for every transfer that we are going to take. Assuming that we go after at least 3 players (RB & 2x DB) we will have to lose 9.
QB - possibly 1 of the guys that ends up 3/4th string
WR - possibly Redding or Kirk if they're looking to find playing time
OL - need to drop 3 and get down to 15. Denis, Sagopolo and maybe someone like Tripp. Obviously this depends on how they perform in the spring. I really don't think that Cristobal should be on scholarship
DL - 21 I'd too much to carry into the season. Wasn't happy about them taking Daylan Russell on scholarship because of this (hopefully he makes me eat those words) Players like Gore & Campbell need to really prove that they deserve to be in the rotation or move on.
LB - I think 9 is a fine number
DB - Balom is the only one that I see here that we can afford to lose. 14 is not enough to go into the season. Isaiah Taylor as a walk on helps, but Thomas will be on the shelf for this year, so that's a wash.
It's going to be interesting who stays and goes and what the roster looks like when we open against the Gators. Overall talent is night and day from 3 years ago though
