Scholarship Numbers

[TX Tiger]

I was looking at the scholarship numbers, we have the following leaving:

Brown
Byer
Davidson
Goodson
Gore
Lakip
MacLain
Norton
Peake
Reader
Seckinger

Also likely to see some leave early including:
Alexander
Brooks
Kearse
Lawson
Leggett

We have 85 on scholarship now. If all the following leave that will leave us with 16 potential additions. We current have commits (publicly) for the slots:
Chalk
Chase
Cooper
Davis
Dawkins
Feaster
Kelly
Lamar
Pinckney
Pollard
Powell
Reeves
Skalski

So all that says we have about 3 scholarships available. With what we have left which guys do you think fill them?

[dgpegues]

I don't know who will fill them, but I know who I'd like to see...

Smith
Lawrence
Overton
Simpson

[Ken]

We will likely take six more. The four listed plus a fourth OL and a CB or Safety.

Who is Sealskin? I take it you are talking about Skalski? And I did not realize L Davis counted toward this class. And you forgot Pinckney.

And what about Battle, Ogundeko and others that have left even though some would have been seniors.

But yes, I too are wondering how many we will be able to take and who we end up getting.

Drat - Stupid autocorrect, yes that is Skalski. Yeah I left Pinckney off so notionally that means there are only 3 open slots. I am assuming Davis and Dawkins will be coming in in January.

Battle and Ogundeko scharlships are being "used" by Huegal and Renfrow. I presume they will keep them.

I suspect we will have at least a couple other guys transfer in search of PT (ironically IMHO this is more likely if we win the NC) but can't see us taking more than 6 or so over who we already have committed.

So looks like we have a bit more clarity on who is leaving this year with the following guys having taken their last trip down the hill Saturday.

Martin Aiken
Travis Blanks
Zach Brooks
Jim Brown
TJ Burrell
Roderick Byer
C.J Davidson
B.J. Goodson
Joe Gore
Amon Lakip
Eric MacLain
Ryan Norton
Charone Peake
DJ Reader
Stanton Seckinger

The following guys are either likely or may be leaving but not going down the hill as a senior:
Mackenzie Alexander
Jayvon Kearse
Shaq Lawson
Jordan Leggett

Lots of chatter about these guys but not sure either actually leave this year:
Wayne Gallman
Mike Williams

We tend to have another couple guys who leave each year (transfer, stop playing, etc). So we probably have 19-20 spots for this year. With our 14 commits we have 5-6 slots available.
