I count 86 scholarship athletes...St. Juste would make 87.
That assumes Schoenfelder, Swenson, Brock Annexstad still on scholarship.
Defensive tackle has the most unknowns...lose OJ, Silver, Gary Moore; Gibson played some inside...return Renner and Teague who played; need both to take a step forward...brought in DewTreadway, Schad as older guys, need both to be hits; added Cheney, Carter as well regarded high school players...maybe get something from Robinson, Hickcox, or Richter?.. maybe a guy I think of as a DE grows into a DT? Ahanotu or Okonji? New coach steps up?
Offensive line after Olson, Blaise, Faalele is another question...Dunlap, Schlueter, Dickson, Schmitz, Guedet need to have good Summers. Nice if someone else emerges (Sassack, Beier, Boe maybe?)
Safety other area to watch...assume Howden and Winfield...only guys with experience there...Sapp? St. Juste? Nubin? Swenson? Unit will miss Huff.
Love what we have at DE with CC, WDL, Mafe, Otomewo, Devers...mix in redshirts Okonji, Ahanotu, Reigelsperger...maybe get instant help from true frosh MJ Anderson or Dv Harris.
Love our returning starting linebackers Martin and Barber...who plays Cashman/Huff role?...may only play two LBs in a lot of sets...need Rush, SoriMarin, Oliver, Gordon, or Willis to push the starters, be ready to play.
Confident at corner with Kiondre, T Smith, Durr, Chris Williamson all somewhat proven...T Nubin competes to play here?
RB, WR stacked; best QB unit we've had in a long time...like the TEs...like Herbers...some good K candidates in place...
I'm sure that some of the walk-ons who were awarded scholarships last year were told it was for 1 year.
A classic example of how the numbers don't always work out.
Of course they were JG. Likely told Brock right after the big reveal.... “don’t get too excited, it’s only for one year.” That’s how everyone does it.

Why would walk-ons ever be awarded scholarships unless they are starters if the numbers work out every year? If coaches force players out every year, we would never have scholarships to award to players like Brock, Bailey and others. Every team would sign 25 players every recruiting cycle and force out the worst players on the roster. Why did guys like Quinn Oseland, Bronson Dovich and JFC last for 4 years?
Never said it happens every year on every team. Never said it happens in every case. I said it happens, frequently, when teams need to make room for a new recruit they want. You said that never happens, then claimed you didn’t say that, then admitted you did and were wrong when called out, then changed to some other argument here. I’m not sure where to go from here.

Sure you did. You said the numbers always work out. Every year. On every team.
