Anybody Have a Good Read on How Many Spots Are Left?

With Turner no longer committed it looks like we are recruiting to 5 different positions. Hard to believe we could take 25 but I suppose Tootoo would be a long shot anyway.

My guess is 3

1 WR
1 LB
1 DB

I think we would take a te on top of that.

If its an elite player, there are players on the team that pete might have to be a big boy and ask them to medically retire or sell the couch

I think they are already doing that to an extent. We don't have too many seniors or underclassmen actually projected to fall off and we are taking 20+ for sure.

Guys with their degree that have never contributed due to injury will likely be told their spot is gone.

I agree, it is ruthless but if you not contributing and most likely not going to see the field you got go. That is just how the top programs operate. That ruthless part of the business must kill Pete, because he seems genuinely interested in the future of these kids. But, it real life that is just how it works sometimes.

It’s not hard to make argument that sending those kids on their way with a medical retirement & a degree is in everyone’s best interests. I don’t think it’s out of line with the Built For Life thing.

It's not ruthless. If you got your degree and can't physically contribute then you should have the self awareness to move on for the betterment of the program. If you don't, then the built for life program never worked on you.

Possible ... but there's a reason we are slow playing that position.

IF we have a slot available I could see us offering it but I could see us punting until next year
