..and it looks like we are right at the 25 mark we need to be at for this class.
Just to review a bit...
Started with 32. 2 of those, Chris Jackson and Corey Smith were back counters against the 2007 class.
30.
We now know that two of this class will be taking the MLB route, Melvin Ray and Destin Hood.
28.
Academic casualties will take one for sure, Brandon Lewis who is headed to Hargrave. Kerry Murphy looks to be one that won't make it as well despite both Kerry and his coach saying he'd make it. Add to that bit of bad news, in this case no news very well may be bad news as it is virtually impossible to get word on whether Devonta Bolten will be arriving on campus.
That leaves us at 25 or 26 depending on Bolten.
IF we are at 26, there is still the possibility that Neighbors takes the Bryant Scholarship or another player takes a grey-shirt.
Either way, the 25 number is right where it had to be due to NCAA regs.
Now, on to the 85 number and here's where it gets tricky.
With the addition of Smith and Jackson we were sitting at a total of 65 players on scholarship meaning we need 5 spots to open up at this point. At this point it's speculation on what is going to happen here.
We all know about Zeke and his health. Personally, I have strong doubts he'll see the field next season but it should be noted word has it Zeke will be seeing a specialist next month.
Lionel Mitchell has a question mark on his return considering the injuries he's dealt with that kept him out of spring practice as well.
Prince, we all know his situation although rumor has it he's back with the team in a limited role.
That still leaves two spots if all three of those guys don't make it back. I'm not concerned, but admittedly very curious to see how it plays out.
