Yeah, right now we have 14 commits (the 13 listed on 247Sports plus Austin Trammel).

Right now, a quick count shows me that we're at 85 scholarships filled (the limit).

We have 15 guys leaving after this season because they're out of eligibility. Throw in 3 others due to transfers, injuries, etc...

Probably looking at a class of around ~18 guys.

15 RS Seniors on scholarship will exhaust eligibility
1 true Senior on scholarship will exhuast eligibility
At least 10 RS Juniors on scholarship (not sure about a few of the guys), some of whom might graduate after 4 years and leave a year of eligibility (Nordstrom/Covington) or transfer (Nwosu)

So that is a miminum of 16 scholarships available, and likely a few more. However, 1 of those presumably goes to Jonathan Sanchez, a 2016 commit who is not on the current roster (it has been suggested he is a greyshirt who will join the program in Spring 2017).

These are the guys that would exhaust eligibility as of 2016:
1. Darik Dillard
2. Jowan Davis
3. Alex Lyons
4. Darrion Pollard
5. Zach Wright (assuming that he is on scholarship now)
6. Tabari McGaskey
7. Tyler Stehling
8. J.T. Blasingame
9. Brandon Hamilton
10. Spencer Stanley (Medical)
11. Cody Henessee
12. Connor Patterson
13. Brandon Dawkins
14. Cameron Decell
15. Reid Mitchell
16. Connor Cella
17. Derek Brown

There are two players who were scholarship players that are currently not on the roster:
Brad Luvender
Hunter Ponder
