I would bet a lot of money that we will have 20+ scholarships available for 2018. Based on what Lovie is saying and the way he is saying it, he will have no problem thinning the herd to make way for kids that he feel will help him win sooner and more. I am not saying that he will like doing it...

Calibear, Thnx for the analysis. What do you think about Williams; you forgot to include it? He seemed to play really smart with great anticipation. Doesn’t seem particularly fast though. I have heard some safety. Any chance he could put on enough weight to be a OLB? What do you think...
