Subject: Re: Everybody likes our class, it's just that it's very small at this point...

Posted by: Pitbull on Thu Jan 26 2012 5:12:44 PM

Message:

We have to have 82 to 85 scholarship players (excluding walkons
except maybe Faloughi) in order to have enough truly athletic guys on
our special teams, and to be able to resupply the two deep O and D as
well as the special teams when injuries and disciplinary violations
deplete our roster for upcoming games.

I counted only 74 guys on last year's roster who were not originally
walkons.

Having 11 less recruits to start a season has the effect of self-
imposed sanctions.

It takes a full roster to be able to build the roster deep in each
class and avoid the wipeout we're going to face after we finish the
2012 season, when we'll lose about 15 of our top 18 guys on D.

When we go back to playing two or three of the best 5 SEC teams in
the regular season, we'll really need a deep and strong roster of
recruited acolytes.

Re:With our history of o-line issues, we need 25 at any given time. ** -- dawg86 Fri Jan 27 2012 1:59:49 PM

We should always have a minimum of 20, would -- Lewis and Hersch Fri Jan 27 2012 12:02:11 PM

To be sure, so far the class doesn't have the 'star power' -- Dawgustus Thu Jan 26 2012 5:15:44 PM

Look again, we have several players rated at 6.0 -- Lewis and Hersch Thu Jan 26 2012 5:57:37 PM

Seems unlikely we get both Avery and Greene but Adams would -- Dawgustus Fri Jan 27 2012 4:30:39 PM

Haven't seen any real confirmation yet that Adams is even interested... -- Brisco Fri Jan 27 2012 5:47:26 PM
