DeMario Williams. Former hoops player at MTSU. Sitting out this year and is a WR. Coaches loved what they were seeing out of him in the spring.

Thanks!

Your list is identical to mine except:

Art Evans - iffy, I agree.
Ben Martin - won't he be back?
DeMario Williams - assumed he'd be put on scholly next season. I could be wrong here.

You aren't kidding. I didn't realize we will only have 11 seniors.

Thanks, LWSVOL, for the breakdown.

New article about Brent Slusher (TE, 6-4, 254) returning next year. Will he be put on scholly?

Scout.com: He'll be back

12, assuming Ben Martin returns. Plus Slusher will be a Sr., but IDK if he will be on scholly.

LWS is right, the big numbers crunch comes in 2012.

It's troubling to see how inconsistent the class numbers are. Next year, we'll only be able to sign 12 + attrition. The following year will be 17 + attrition. But then the year after that, we'll be able to sign 31 + attrition (minus whatever of the earlier attrition came from that 31). But with a cap on the incoming class sizes, that last class will leave us back under the scholarship limit. I suppose not by too much, but it's going to be a really tough class to replace. In one way, it would be good for all these freshmen to stay around until their senior year (if we can make a push that year for a title). But in another, it'd be better for some to go pro and even out the numbers we replace each year. I guess this is too far ahead to be worried though. Lots can happen.

=60
this high math is fantastic.
it really keeps your mind sharp.

Yeah, but we will lose one awesome(at least potentially) junior safety.

We can think good ole Phil for that...

But isn't it common to see the number of players in a class diminish as they get older? At least that's the way it seems to work out in my NCAA Dynasties

At least 3 guys (Pair, Darr, and Meline) from that 31 were redshirts, so they should be counted separately. Unfortunately, some will likely get injured and have to use their redshirts as well, spreading out the numbers. Turning over the 2010 class will suck, but it won't be devastating.

I think Bray, James, Hunter and maybe D.Rogers and J.Smith, Stone and Brewer if he develops enough, will all be gone after their JR years.

I doubt it, but how awesome would it be to have 7 guys certain enough of their draft status to leave for the NFL?
