Just went over our roster for this year and notice we have around 107 kids on the roster. With a 85 limit on scholarship players, I went back to see how many kids we signed and was shocked to see how many kids that has left since 2011 till now.
In 2011 we signed 32....out of that 32, I could only find 9 that is still on our current roster. In 2012 we signed 23, and also notice we took a hit with kids leaving, that left 15 kids on our current roster. Now things have gotten better since 2013-2014, with only 4 kids leaving out of 48 kids that have signed!
Since 2011 we have signed 103 kids with 35 kids that have left due to playing time, grades and home sick. That leaves 68 kids left on scholarship as of this year. I know we have a walk on program, and AJ derby with cam Jefferson are on scholarship that I couldn't find on any of the recruiting classes which brings the total limit to 70.
What I'm getting at.....is after going over the roster, and since that many kids that have left. Do we have 15 kids that were walk-ons at 1 time on scholarship? Cause after looking at the roster there is 28 kids that I never heard of due to never being in any of our current recruiting classes since 2011.
Just my opinion, but I think this is the reason for close games being lost due to play calling and depth. Most of the recruits that have left where on the defense side of the ball.
