Didn't see this posted anywhere, so **** it.
Here's a look at our non-senior scholarship breakdown.
Quarterback (4)
Rosier
Shireffs
Perry
Weldon
Runningback (4)
Walton
Homer
Gray
Burns
Wide Receiver (9)
Richards
Cager
Langham
Thomas
Harley
Dallas
Mullins
Njoku
Harris
Tight End (3)
Irvin II
Polendey
Patchan (Could move back to DE next year)
Offensive Tackle (7)
St. Louis
Herbert
Hillery
Dykstra
Brown
Johnson
Jones
Guard (3)
Donaldson
Milo
Mahoney
Center (2)
Gauthier
Gaynor
Defensive End (4)
J. Jackson
D. Jackson
Garvin
Johnson
Defensive Tackle (7)
Norton
McIntosh
Bethel
Ford
Willis
Martin
Fines
Inside Linebacker (4)
Quarterman
Smith
Jennings
Gordinier
Outside Linebacker (7)
Pinckney
McCloud
Owens
Perry
Wilder
Steed
McCray
Cornerback (4)
Young
Bandy
Dean
Jackson
Safety (6)
Johnson
Redwine
Knowles
Finley
Carter
Smith
Specials (2)
Feagles (P)
Butler (LS)
That puts us at 66 scholarships.
We currently have 19 commits:
QB (1) - Sitkowski
RB (2) - Lingard, Davis
WR (3) - Pope, Hightower, Wiggins
TE (2) - Jordan, Mallory
OT (1) - Campbell
G (1) - Reed
C (1) - Scaife
DE (1) - Rousseau
DT (1) - Silvera
CB (2) - Blades, Ivey
S (3) - Jobe, Frierson, Hall
K (1) - Baxa
That puts us exactly at 85, but I'm assuming the plan isn't to take 19.
I don't know who all of our remaining key targets are, but I know at the very minimum it's Tyson Campbell, Dennis Briggs, and Patrick Joyner. [MENTION=3894]Peter Ariz[/MENTION] and others can chime in here.
That means at least 3 spots will have to be opened up. Mark Walton is almost assuredly leaving after this year, so that's 1. Norton and McIntosh are possibilities, although another year of development under Kool would serve them well. For the purposes of this thread, I'll take the homer stance and project they're staying.
Other guys could be "asked" to move on. These are 4th-year Juniors who haven't played much.
Top Future Endeavor candidates
Terry McCray -- Has he taken any snaps on defense?
Choc Gray -- With Lingard and Davis coming in, he might look for playing time elsewhere as a grad transfer
Jahair Jones -- He might stick for depth purposes, but he's another grad transfer candidate
Barring other guys leaving early or transferring/quitting on their own, it looks like we won't take more than 23 this year.
Edit: but there are definitely places where we can make room for big fish, e.g. Gordinier (blew out ACLs in back-to-back seasons).
