Interesting... I hadn't heard or thought about that!

It makes sense and helps us out a bit(vs what I had in my head), since we self-imposed down to 23 last year(before announcing penalties) that we also easily could have done the same with the overall roster(we were definitely under 83).

So, we both come up with the same 81 number(through very different methods). Seems likely to be the correct number to me...

Man I'm glad some guys from Greenville Wesson are getting the chance. My senior year they had a RB that played alongside Green on D by the name of Greg Foster. He's a Hinds right now..my buddy told me a few months ago the guy is benching 400 plus and squats 600 plus as a RB. A lot of talent there. Those boys could hit. And I played against some pretty dang good DEs who are playing still. Those guys are the real deal no doubt. Big Pickup.

One thing to remember about attrition. It is also possible that some guys that are on scholarship could choose to stay as a walk-on. Like maybe a Gus Walley.

Greenville-Weston could be a powerhouse from a talent standpoint.

Walley is supposedly pretty good at this point and getting better.

Doesn't Rick Ray need a couple "athletes" ? ;)
