[QUOTE="FT35, post: 1353821, member: 10675"] As far as I know, graduate transfers count against the limit of 25 per recruiting class. 247 and Rivals aren't going to count Meadors as part of the recruiting class, however. As far as how many scholarships we have available for this recruiting class, it was 17 before all of the transfers. We had 76 scholarship players this year and 8 Scholarship Seniors. That means we were [B]9[/B] under the limit of 85 and the Senior Class only had [B]8[/B] players. This is where the figure of 17 comes from. Add in the four? scholarship transfers, that will get us to 21 available scholarships. We should see AT LEAST four more guys transfer so we will probably have a full class of 25 for 2018 without having to worry about the 85 scholarship limit. That means potentially 10 more guys could be added to this class. I would like to see graduate transfers at QB, TE and OL in the mix in order to establish some class balance as the Class of 2019 could be very small. Another thing to keep an eye out for is whether or not Nate Echard petitions for 6th year. [/QUOTE]
