Looks like you are way off on the 27 - 30
Interesting. Thanks for the correction, I counted 14 seniors (not sure how).
I suppose we’ll see some attrition, but this tells me we have a very young roster. It’ll be interesting to see how Kirby manages those numbers. I expect 5-6 of those projected 21 in ’17 to be O-line.

Thanks for the replies. Been a long time since I've posted here. I'd like to look at both sides of this issue.
As far as 17's numbers, the cap for incoming in 17 is 25 plus 4 or 5, so 27 to 30 is plausible.
Right now, it looks like the problem is the cap of 85. We are a very, very young team. We have 10 seniors on scholarship and Grayson, 11 guys who will leave the program for sure after 16.
Not too many rising juniors who may leave early, either. Maybe Chubb and/or Michel, sure, but who else?
And with less than 80 scholarship players in 16 going into spring practice and fall camp, a high level of attrition would be a double edged sword.
If we have a lot of attrition, our 17 recruiting class may have 23 to 25 spots open instead of 14 or 15, but our 16 roster may have only 70 to 75 scholarship athletes instead of the 82 to 85 likely on the teams we play.
On the plus side of things, if we lose 11 seniors, a couple go pro early, and we have 5 spots open in 16, AND we lose 3 to 5 to transfers, medical issues, etc., all 20 incoming 16 guys will play their first year here, and we'll have room for 20 to 25 in the 17 class.
Regardless of which way things go, as much as I loved CMR, something tells me CKS will be much better at roster management (and clock management at the end of the half and game) than CMR was.

You counted 14 seniors maybe because it looks like we will have 4 to 6 non-scholarship senors.
