Parker Barrineau was awarded a scholly this afternoon for his sr season. That tells me Saban already knows what the final numbers will look like and there was one opening in the 85 left.

Interesting. That's really impressive for Saban to have the numbers down at this point in the season well before signing day even.

Seniors leave on top of 3 juniors. Maybe a couple transfers. If I was Alec Morris I wouldn't transfer. I'd try to just learn kiffins entire play book and go be on OC

Just went through our recruits for the past 5 seasons and did my best to eliminate those players who are no longer with the team. Here's what I came up with:

2010 (RS Seniors) (bolded means they're gone after this season)
DeAndrew White
Jarrick Williams
Arie Kouandjio
Jalston Fowler
Brian Vogler
Nick Perry
Blake Sims
Austin Shepherd
Brandon Ivory

2011 (Seniors, RS Juniors) (6)
Trey DePriest
Xavier Dickson
Bradley Sylve
Michael Faciane
Ryan Kelly
Christion Jones
Jabriel Washington
Isaac Luatua

2011 (Juniors, RS Sophomores) (16)
Landon Collins
TJ Yeldon
Reggie Ragland
Cyrus Jones
Chris Black
Amari Cooper
Geno Smith
Ryan Anderson
Dillon Lee
Brandon Greene
Kenyan Drake
Denzel Devall
Korren Kirven
Dalvin Tomlinson
Alphonse Taylor
Dakota Ball
Alec Morris
Darren Lake
Adam Griffith

2013 (Sophomores, RS Freshmen) (21)
Reuben Foster
Derrick Henry
Jonathan Allen
O.J. Howard
Robert Foster
A’Shawn Robinson
Dee Liner
Altee Tenpenny
Grant Hill
Tyren Jones
Cooper Bateman
Tim Williams
Maurice Smith
ArDarius Stewart
Anthony Averett
Leon Brown (JUCO)
Eddie Jackson
Raheem Falkins
Bradley Bozeman
Jonathan Cook
Walker Jones (non-scholarship?)
Cole Mazza

2014 (Freshmen) (25)
Cameron Robinson
Da’Shawn Hand
Tony Brown
Marlon Humphrey
Rashaan Evans
Christian Miller
Laurence “Hootie” Jones
Ronnie Clark
Ross Pierschbacher
David Cornwell
Cameron Sims
Josh Frazier
Dominick Jackson (JUCO)
JC Hassenauer
Shaun Hamilton
Derek Kief
Jarran Reed (JUCO)
DJ Pettway (JUCO)
Joshua Casher
Keith Holcombe
O.J. Smith
Johnny Dwight
Ty-Flournoy Smith (JUCO)
JK Scott
Bo Scarbrough
Jake Coker (transfer)

By my count, that's 68 spots already taken, 69 if you count Taylor who is supposedly back-counting to 2014. I think we're on track to bring in another full class of 25, so somewhere in this roster we have 10 players (including the scholarship given to Barrineau) who either (1) Saban already knows will not be back next year; (2) aren't on scholarship at the moment anyway; or (3) will grey-shirt rather than enrolling this season.

For starters Brandon hill and Leon brown are gone

Keith holcombe, walker jones, and Keaton Anderson are all on/going to be on non athletic scholarship paths I believe.

Forgot that Leon played last year and that Hill left the team this summer. I have adjusted the numbers down to 10. Thanks!

I don't think it's too gloom n doom, just a clarification of intent with some guys. Heck, lost like 5-6 going into this season, don't expect that many.

Some get talked off the ledge, Chris Black was talked into coming back after 2013. Ended up doing little in 2014 though
