Don't forget about the 9 players that left after spring practice last year. That number is 10 if you count BB. As a result of that mass exodus, 4 walkons were giving scholarships last August. Two of those walkons were seniors, so they are gone.

One of the Marks brothers is on scholarship, while the other is not. I think Gore was a walk on.

Based on the walkons getting scholarships last year, we know Bama was at least 4 under the 85 limit. Possibly more.

With the playoffs adding another game to the schedule, I think the NCAA should at least increase the limits to 90.

Craig to Bama? He is a great recruiter. He is the reason Winston went to FSU.

I did not include any player that was not on the roster from the fall. So Barnett or players that left in the spring I did not include but had Gore as I was not sure but he is currently listed on our official roster as still with the team.

Cornwell and Bateman who are also listed I included as part of the 6 juniors leaving

For basic understanding on back counting lets look back at the 2014 class which is the last class we did not sign 25(according to 247).

2014 we signed 24-which would allow 1 to BC to 2014 from 2015

2015- we signed 24-but one is BC to 2014 meaning 23 in the 2015 class allowing 2 to BC from 2016

2016 we signed 23-but 2 BC into the 2015 class meaning only 21 in the 2016 class allowing us to BC 4 from this year.

2017 we signed 26- but if we could BC 4 into the 2016 class we should have been able to take a total of 29 in this class which was rumored as a possibility for a while now. Technically we only have 21 counting towards the incoming class.

Again just basic math there which would suggest it was not the 25 max for incoming class that prevented Parks from joining the class but the 85 which state we can not have any more than 85 at anytime. It has been rumored that R Foster is still with the team but if someone does transfer out we should be able to add 4 more to the 25 incoming class.

Subtracting the guys we know for sure are leaving, how many do we then have on scholarship?

We have 7 RS seniors and 7 seniors. We have 2 QBs (bateman & Cornwell) transferring and 2 juniors(Cam and Stewart) declaring for the draft. So we know 18 for sure. If we were already maxed out at 85(including the walkons who got scholarships in the fall) we technically have 67 returning and room to add 18 with the incoming class. So we brought in 26 for sure counting the EEs so we know 7 more are out the door or off scholarship.

I do not remember which 4 walk-ons received a scholarship either. If they were seniors or maybe not this upcoming year. You figure we will also have a few RS juniors who will graduate in the spring that may be told good luck with your degree and see ya.

You think Hass and Dwight are gone? Hass I can kind of see just because of the depth on the OL but Dwight plays a position of need.

Foster - Good chance
Falkins - Gone
JC Hass - Good chance
Womack - Definitely not by our choice. He's solid.
Dwight - Man, I hope so.
McMillion - Good chance.
Clark - Good chance. Please remember to use first names as well as last when it's an ultra-common last name like "Clark", "Smith", "Williams", etc.

As much as I hate to say it about one of our own, Dwight can't play dead in a low budget Western.

Why the hell not?

Can you grant access to anyone else to modify posts like the offer posts in case I can't get to it for a few days?

Also, keep this one until this weekend. It may take me a couple days to put everything together because I'm going skiing all day tomorrow.
