[The Franchise]

Hstokes1447, I actually like your list except for Dmauri Jones. The only reason he should even think about leaving is if Berrios steals his **** in the Spring. (since BB is early entry) Or if by some super natural miracle Lane or Rudolph come. Other then that he is really an injury away from being our 4th receiver next year. (Coley-Waters-Dorsett-Scott) If DGriffin gets in I think he fights him for that 4th/5th receiver spot. If DGriffin doesnt, its really his for the taking. If he lets a Tr-Fr come in and beat him out he needs to go regardless.

King, IMO, has until the spring to show he can hang. The other 3 on your list need to be asked to "graduate early/focus on their studies" right after the bowl game IMO.

Not a fan of letting Dortch go. I still have hope for him for some reason. Think he will be one of those guys who finally gets his chance as a 5th year senior and plays well. Cant get a read on LHope.

I think Dortch is one of the best cover corners on this team. His problem is, he is so small that he is always injured. He needs at least 15 pounds before he can be counted on.

Also it looks like this class we be around 33 or 34. If DP returns we are looking at 55 returning scholarship players.

• Returning (55) + recruiting class (33 or 34) = 88 or 89 scholarship players
• NCAA max roster number = 85
• Max roster number with a 3 ship band = 82
• Number of players that could be showed the door = 6 or 7

There is going to be some serious movement on this roster to get under 85.

Don't have to take the 3 bans this year, so we can be at 85 this year.

Perry is gone after the bowl game. He's next to Gilbert.

Not sure what you mean by 33/34.

Is that the number you think will enroll or sign?

If you think it is enroll, the numbers are wrong (we can't enroll that many) and that is not how are specific sanctions work.

Will not be missed.

Trent Harris is the steal of this class. he is lightning quick & loves to hit. he will remind you of vilma

I don't usually comment on performance issues because I'm not confident that I have the expertise but in re=watching many of our games I conclude that weight is not the problem with our linebackers quickness and speed is the problem. The measuring stick for me is the trio of Barrow-Armstead-D. Smith all close to 4:4-5 speed and quick as cats. Perryman is the only LB we had last year close to that caliber. I hope some of the younger guys step up especially Kirby. Staff needs to sell Perryman on staying.

Even at 85, 3-4 guys will have to be cut.

We can have at most 84 scholarship players on the roster next year. We have to be at least 1 under each of the next 3 years.

Over the next 3 years we have to play with a combined 9 less scholarships than the maximum allowance.

For example

2014: 84 schollies
2015: 81 schollies
2016: 81 schollies

1 under + 4 under + 4 under (the 85 max each year) = the 9 scholarship sanction imposed on us.

The sanctions didn't specify 3 each year.
