Wouldn't that mean you continually had a roster of 51 players yearly?
No, it meant we've had room to take transfers and give walk-ons schollies for the past 3 years now.
Depending on the size class Bert signs this year, some may be asked to transfer as the roster will actually be close to max capacity with recruited scholarship players.

It's not hard to be better than something that isn't built

We were pretty low last season.
In Petrino's last 3 classes, 26 are no longer here
If my math is correct, there are 83 scholarship players on this year's roster, 20 spots will be available for the 2015 recruiting class if there are no transfers.
So Bert will have signed 24, 25, 20+ given 5 walk-ons schollys, but Petrino didn't have a problem with attrition.

Will the Fastest 40 Minutes stay up there once Mike Anderson gets fired?

Who said he didn't? I was just curious about the 40% number. That would be astronomical.
UF has been a victim of this too. I can't remember the last time we were at 85.

If we make the NCAAT next year like we're projected to then we won't have to worry about it
That will kind of always be our slogan though

Touche
Although Bama fans have been toutin imaginary championships for years, so there's some precedent.

Hire Bo Ryan next and then see if that changes.

10, 15, 21...it's still more than anyone else. But facilities are judged on the eye of beholder. Some like Oregon, others LSU or Tennessee. Of course I'm partial to what Alabama has. But I doubt any of those mentioned feel they're second to anyone.

It was close to 40% in the 30% range for sure the last time I calculated it.
It wasn't just that a bunch of people left/never made it, it was that it was entire positions taking on the attrition like WR, QB, S, CB, and LB. LB hurt the worse because he only signed 7 of them and 4 transferred out. He signed 20 something WRs and only 3 remained for last year's roster.
The other problem it created was with the APR, but in football you have more lead way than in Basketball, Pel decimated the APR with the attrition his program saw. Mike Anderson's hands were tied with the roster due to this, Pel didn't recruit well here in terms of talent either which didn't help.

All SEC programs who are serious about competing have nice facilities, its a necessity. Aggy thought their facilities were "top notch", which they were in the big12, but not in SEC standards.
Outside of the SEC, very few schools invest across the entire department in facilities like you see in the SEC.
Arkansas had "top notch" facilities in the SWC, they were not "top notch" when we moved into the SEC compared to our peers.

Petrino left Kragthorpe and Louisville in the same boat when he left for Atlanta

December 2008 Jurich, the Cardinals AD, on the ongoing process of cleaning up Petrino's Louisville mess:
Bobby went to areas where he thought he was strong recruiting and some of them panned out and some didn't. That's the nature of it. But listen, we had to clear out a lot of discipline issues. And our numbers suffered. We cleared 21 kids out of here, and that's a lot. That's a big hit for anybody to take, Eric. I don't know anyone that has. But we want to do things the right way.

Exactly how I feel about our facilities. Even though we just broke ground, they're still better than yours.
Sun post more pics, almost time for my late T+0 trading fap session.

tFlagship is looking good to dominate the SEC in facilities for the foreseeable future. Which will only help our on the field production

Right. And ours is now better than most if not all of the teams in the SEC
