'17 GA OLB/DE Robert Beal (UGA commit)

Don’t see how we would have room. Already have to make room just to sign 25 and keep the roster at 85.

We are well below the 85 roster limit. Pruitt mentioned in his post game presser about how well below the 85 scholarship limit we were. During the season he said we had 60 something. That won't be an issue

It is an issue in regards to signing a full class of 25 with 2 seniors redshirting and one requesting a 6th year of eligibility. Also the addition of 3 walk ons being put on scholarship.

Yes and no. Scholly’s are renewed annually. So the walk ons are on for academic terms 2019-2020 not 2020-2021.

They don’t make cute videos for when they don’t get renewed and you can’t go to training table anymore haha

Numbers debates are tough, bc there is always a creative “accounting” method to get everyone in that they want.

If this vast number of kids getting kicked to the curb were true? There’d be a FEW videos! Especially the feel good stories where walkons earn scholarships. First one of those gets yanked, the Tennessean and KNS have endless fodder.

Freak did a thread early in December. Let's look at scholarship numbers

It appears the number is 66 which, if accurate, means we have to lose a few more to take a full class of 25.

The 3 new schollies I was referring to won't even start until spring semester 2020.
 
We are losing atleast 9 Srs, so that gets us to 57. So we will have plenty of room for 25 and a few transfers if we want any.

The seniors who are leaving are already accounted for on the top of that list.

Returning seniors: 5
Juniors: 17
Sophomores 14
Freshmen and redshirt fresmen 30

Adds up to 66.

I hate to get into this discussion again but please go look at the players listed in the attached thread below.

Let's look at scholarship numbers

The 60 whatever number Pruitt was referring to did not count injured players or players planning to redshirt. He was referring to how many scholarship players were available for that weekend's game. With the 21 players that have signed LOIs for 2020 and the players currently planning to return, we are at about 88 scholarships. So other scholarship players will have to leave before all 21 new players arrive next Fall.

I'm sure we will have no problem getting under 85 as the numbers always work out. There will be a couple enter the portal after the Bowl game .. then a couple more after spring practice .. and there are usually a couple unexpected departures along the way.

I understand that but we are only allowed to sign 25 per recruiting cycle and transfers count towards the 25. When Pruit mention that statement we had 65 scholarship athletes it’s down around 63ish now. The 25 per recruiting cycle is the number that will put the squeeze on you.
