I don't think so. I think Pierre is a senior, meaning he doesn't count against the scholarship limit. Same for McBride (who I'm guessing is still coming). Assuming that's the case, we have 12 players definitely on the roster next year with Lawrence, if he signs, as the 13th. So our roster will technically be 15, 13 with Pierre and McBride not counting.

Pierre is a senior. For some reason, I thought if you transferred schools you counted against their scholarship cap.

Thanks for the clarification.

You actually might be right. I've been trying to find a definitive rule, but a San Diego Tribune article says that a transferring senior still counts against the limit.

Which would (1) mean we'd definitely have to shed two players, and (2) that the staff already knows who because they wouldn't be recruiting over the limit if they didn't know who was already leaving.
