So we are at 82. Let's pretend we don't land any grad transfers or any new recruits for this season.

Tyler Hoppes is going to get a scholly for this season.

Luke McNitt might if he is going to be the starting FB.

They are both Seniors, and would put us at 84.

Reimers is getting a scholarship, you can bet your bottom on it.

He is a junior, and would put us at 85 for the season. His wouldn't come off the books, unless we were to only offer him a 1 year scholly, which I would doubt considering he is going to play quite a bit.

This means we would have 14 open scholarships without attrition, and we could sign up to 17... Which Riley didn't do last season.

Now, looking at possible attrition, since that's what some are hoping so we can sign 20. (Not sure how you can predict guys that might leave, but I'll try) We would need 3 to leave, just to be able to get to 20. Also, those 3 would have to either leave during or before the season, or well before NSD, so that we could actual sign a player for their scholarship.

Sedrick King? Possibly a Grad Transfer if he doesn't get much PT this year. Not sure on his graduation requirements to be able to do so, just would assume he is close.

Jalen Barnett? Possibly Transfer, hasn't gotten any opportunities for whatever reason it is.

MIkale Wilbon? Grad Transfer possibly if he doesn't get a fair shake this season?

I feel like I'm really reaching with those predictions. I'm sure we will have some sort of attrition, just not sure who and not sure if it will amount to 3 players or not.

Time will tell. I can tell you for a fact that we will sign between 15-20 players though.

Pure speculation of candidates for leaving but here's my list of possibilities:
Brokop: The coaches are ready to show him the door.

King: Agree with you. Could look for bigger role.

Darlington: Loves the program. But I wondering if he'd grad transfer to see the field at a lessor school?

Avery Anderson: Just can't seem to gain ground anywhere. 3rd string now and Blades, Bookie, etc are joining the fold during the remainder of his time here.

Decker: He's a good player and I hope it's not the case but he has some health problems that could be a wildcard in his career.

Whats going on with Brokop?

Running with the 3s and 4s. Getting worked by walk-ons and has a bad attitude when he gets beat.

Yup. Should hear what a former lineman had to say about him.

And what was that?

Interesting state breakdown
4 from Georgia (2 pair of teammates)

3 from Ohio

2 for Minnesota and Illinois

Wonder if those Georgia boys stick if the start to get SEC/ACC offers

For some reason I think I remember reading somewhere Fleck recruits Georgia fairly hard. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else though.
 
I'll just post it. It was reported somewhere earlier this spring, can't remember where.

The past olinemen basically said it is embarrassing that he is part of the program and will never play a down for NU.

Slow internet, can't get the interview to load. Did Riley specify whether the 10th verbal would be made public? Or is it possible it will be another silent, as those seem to be all the rage right now?
