You start with - only 85 players are allowed on scholarship and only 25 can be signed in one year (new SEC rule?) We currently have 78 on scholarship - which gives us an extra 7 What is interesting is that if 7 players enroll right now - then *I think* they count towards 25 from last year. We only signed 16 last year. We have 14 seniors - which would mean 21 total - but Carl Moore may get a redshirt and return - so make it 20 How many juniors going are pro? Let's say three - which makes it 23 Consider that a few players will transfer and not return to the team - usually 2 - which makes it 25 Some schools factor in players that commit - but do not have the grades to actually enroll. That is usually not a problem at Florida. But schools have placed players at junior colleges for a year to get around grades. Some players are pushed off from starting in August/September to the following January. Some people are saying our numbers is as high as 27 or 28 - which I don't know how they get at. I can only see 25. We have 20 commits as of right now. We expect to pick up 3 on Saturday (tomorrow). We've already got 5 to 7 enrolled. -------- Original Message -------- >Subject: Re: [gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] [SUN]: Florida confirms >Edwards hire >From: John Vega <[email protected]> >Date: Fri, January 08, 2010 2:49 pm >To: [email protected] > >How many more players can we fit in our class? > > >We're bumping up against 25 unless some enroll early and count against last >year; did we have any empty spots from last year we can use?
