A few years back Joey C. handled the majority of those same duties. Bo's first recruiting class was 30 players and 22 remain active on the roster. Bo's second class had 11 and all still remain. Does anyone know how many players we plan on taking this year?

That is a remarkably high number of kids still in the program. Wish we had the numbers from Wolford's classes to compare. I seem to remember we lost 16 kids from the program is one season under Wolf.

I count 17 open scholarships (Seniors Graduated) and that is not including anybody who transfers out during the off season.
We have 11 coming in so far, by my count including Durkin. I would suspect 1 or 2 more FBS transfers. Could also allow some of the walk-ons from last year to grab a scholly.

Fever, thanks for the numbers breakdown on Bo's two recruiting classes. I agree that it is very positive that most are still in the program. This is how you build a program properly, a program that eventually will be able to compete every year.

I agree 100%! I really like the way the new class is shaping up. If, and it's a BIG IF, the DE recruits can play at a reasonably high level, this team could be better than last. LB's best group in a while, RB is deeper, QB's more experienced, WR more experienced. OL more athletic, CB's probably a little better and kicking should be healthy. Zack's injury hurt us in a few games.

I would disagree a little here. We will never see the caliber of DE's again like Rivers and Moss. The best DE's in all of FCS and probably more than half of the mid majors in FBS. DB's will not be better. I don't count out Bo and Carl defensively but they'll have work cut out for them in the secondary. RB's also wont be as deep. We will miss Ruiz and his good instincts and finding the hole and Webb's speed. Agree with the LB's though. Very, very good group. QB's and WR's will also be more experienced. Townsend, Bailey and Patterson all going to be seniors.
