Football New Depth Chart versus Illinois

Everyone is eligible for another year. [if they want}. No hit to the 85 scholarship limit next year.

This is good news, but I am curious. What happens to the commits of 2021 if many decide to stay? Does Greg have to pull scholarship offers or can the NCAA increase the limit? It's a nice problem to have but I just feel bad for this year's class.

If you're not a starter your probably not invited back. If your getting serious nfl interest you'll move up (affects bigger schools a lot more).

They have expanded the number of scholarships allowed for next season.

This.
The one time exception is for the 2021 season.’
Assume in 2022 it’s back to 85 scholarship players.

Interesting. If GS can keep some upperclassmen impact players for another year, he could make hay with a loaded roster, while possibly redshirting some newcomers as needed. As noted above, it will probably affect the bigger programs more as their older players are more likely to go to the NFL. They still reload, but will have younger teams than programs like RU.

A bit anti-climatic but the "OR" is gone between Noah and Sit.

Really disappointing to not see O'Neal on 2 deep for WR.

Our esteemed WR coach and I think alike:

Really interesting tha Pierce has moved into the 2 deep. Hope he gets some snaps Saturday.

The million dollar question is how many true seniors will jump at the opportunity to spend one more year in schianos program. I’d have to think fogg, fatukasi, and white will be intrigued. Melton on the offensive side.

It would be awesome if that D-line returned for 2021.

 

[RUNVA]

The defense looks to take a real hit next Fall with all of those seniors.

Was thinking the same thing. Looks like all SR. Out there on D

If your not going pro and you are a contributor why wouldn’t you? What’s the rush to go find a regular job?
