So we signed 21 players yesterday. Last year we inked 23. The first question that stands out is why are we signing less than the allowed amount of players each year? I've never argued with the quality of athletes Malzahn and company have been bringing in. The targeting of needs and development of players has been an issue but overall, if you're consistently in or near the top 10, you've got all the athletes you need to win championships.
But the numbers befuzzle me. Most teams had that many guys sign in the early period. It's not like we shouldn't have room. Off the top of my head, I can recall Asa Martin, Nate Craig-Myers, JayVaughn Myers and John Broussard transferring out. Others? Rock Thomas? My understanding is you can sign up to 25 players a year so if that's the case, there's 6 schollies left on the table. Am I missing something? Besides hair and nuttz?
On a positive note, last year's class and who all we have returning has me sporting chub over our secondary. We are going to be as experienced, deep and athletic as anybody in the country IMO. Not only are starters and contributors like Javaris Davis, Jeremiah Dinson, Daniel Thomas, Noah Igbonerbean and Jordyn Peters back, but last year's class gave us guys that were in the rotation all year like Smoke Monday, Christian Tutt and Jamien Sherwood. And with the 4 game redshirt rule, there were several others that got a good bit of PT as well.

It’s 25 max per year as long as you stay at 85 total or under. So you may not always be able to sign 25. In theory the avg should be 21-22. But attrition happens. So some classes end up back loaded. Some may have 28 in them and others may only have 18-19.

I think we had about 14 seniors this season. We had more but I couldn't tell if some of the guys were actually on scholarship. Thinking of a few more:
Jamel Dean came out early
Jarrett Stidham - same
Darius Slayton - same
Richard McBryde - retired due to injury. Probably still on scholarship, though
Jaunta'vius Johnson - Transferred to Colorado
Jalen Harris - Transferred to I Can't Remember University
Anyone else? I still think we're leaving some schollies on the table. They have to be to be able to award them to walk-ons during the season, which they did last year. Plus, there were no surprises yesterday as far as who we signed. We would have signed them and Pickens and Ira Henry and a few others regardless.

Looking at the portal, we offered this guy out of high school. Could we use him now? I think he has two left to play. Immediately eligible.

If we cannot find any OL in the portal and we just have schollies to spare, sure. Otherwise that's about the last position on the field we need another body.
