A&M is going to have a bunch of transfers out in the next few months. Absolutely have to in order to make room for the incoming talent. Who is most likely? We will lose some DL, probably some older secondary players as well. There will be a shakeup in the TE room, and possibly a couple of RB's.
I saw the number of transfers needed at somewhere North of a dozen ...

We’ve already had several who have entered and aren’t coming back. Hubbard, Kenyon Jackson, Brian Williams, Orebo are a few off the top of my head I could see. There will be be guys we don’t expect though as well as there always are

Calzada, Norwood, & Doyle are the only ones in the portal currently, right?

I think this is probably a bit of an exaggeration
We have several players leaving for the NFL, I think we also have a couple that are leaving the football for medical reasons.

We entered the year we 83/85 scholarships filled. So we would need 30 spots to open if we want room to sign 32. There are 3 already in the portal.
By my count there's 11 guys who are graduating/going pro for sure already:
I.Spiller, J. Johnson, K. Green, J. Peevy, T. Johnson, M. Clemons, A. Hansford, L. O'Neal, K. Carper, S. Small.
3 guys that I think have a decision to make about the draft:
J. Wydermyer, A. Smith, D. Richardson
And 5 guys who have significant injury histories that make medical retirement seem at least possible (some of them might already be done for all I know):
H. Jones, C. Chapman, L. Matthews, B. Williams, M. Jones
That's potentially up to 22 before we even consider the additional guys who may enter the portal. So we don't necessarily need just a ton of transfers to hit that number.
I know it's bad form to speculate on attrition candidates, and I'm not advocating for anybody to lose their scholarships. But, the most obvious candidates to look for a new opportunity are the guys who are on scholarship but don't show up on the participation report at all. There are 4 such players:
D. Hunter, B. Mowry, J. Moten, J. Jefferson

Is 85 still a hard cap with the covid rules?

Josh Moten blew out his ACL during the spring game. Him not playing last year doesn't tell us much.

I don’t think so I think there are 10 or so guys at least that don’t impact our limits due to covid years

The NCAA is moronically bringing that back w/o fully considering what it was going to do to rosters that gave every single player an extra year.

I think they knew exactly what it would do. I just think they had too much pressure from the bottom 75% of athletic departments that don't feel like they can pay for the extra scholarships after losing so much revenue during 2020.

That’s a great point

Not sure what thread to put this in but Wydermyer officially gone

Kenyon Green declared for the NFL too.

RB Deondre Jackson in the transfer portal

Do we need 15 more to hit the portal? I think it is in that range. Seems like a huge number, but I think it is about right.

Right now, including the current signees and Harold Perkins, we have 97 scholarship players. If we want to sign Stewart and Mathews as well as another player from the transfer portal, we need 15 more to leave/retire.

I would love it if you made a thread with our roster that was separated by position and notes the players eligibility year fr/so(rs), etc.
Posted on 1/7/22 at 2:13 pm to Warrior Poet
No. I've opted out of posting threads on this board.
