Wow thats nuts 33 players. 17 for us next year that sucks i wonder if we will consider bringing back any 5th year next year. 17 scholarships isn't alot. So we will need to make them all count and can't settle for a less talented player we need to go hard at some of the big guns.

Kapron Lewis-Moore, Sean Cwynar, Dayne Crist, Braxston Cave, and Jamoris Slaughter are getting them, IMO.

Well... my fave site for watching sports online just got seized by Homeland Security.

Because terrorists give two craps if I am attempting to watch Calvin Johnson score Fantasy points when the Lions are down 38 in the 4th.

I think the 17 available is considering all 5th year eligibles coming back.

I would say May Crist depends on how he plays Cave because we really could use someone with experience. Moore could be in the way of the new dogs. Slaughter it depends on how good he plays we still need the depth and Cwynar probably not with only 17 scholarships aval.

Two things:

If the appeal fails, which it more than likely will, the scholarship limit will get tacked on an additional year or so. They won't lose a year of the overall ban. Because of the appeal and this massive haul, they are allowed to do so right now.

Number 2: Check this out. I kinda wish Kelly had the same idea:

I'll count...

5 fifth-years: Ragone, Gray, Smith, Ruffer, Dever (I assume)
7 seniors (No more eligibility): (Jonas) Gray, Floyd, Robinson, Johnson, Fleming, Filer, Blanton
13 potential fifth-years: Cave, Clelland, Crist, Cwynar, Golic, Goodman, Lewis-Moore, McCarthy, McDonald, Posluszny, Slaughter, Walker, (Hafis) Williams

No way they keep all 13.

I see maybe only at the most 5 of them getting awarded a fifth year! They are Weis's players BK wants to get in his RKG!

Positions that need to be addressed in the next recruiting class at least 3Db's to add depth. And at least 2 dynamic running backs preferably Barry Sanders Jr! They need to hit a home run at running back! Added depth on the OL would also be a need!

They got 30 because of the transfers that left after last years sanctions. And because they are appealing there probation they have no sanctions aganist them.

There are needs at RB, OL, and DB.

They are appealing that. Until the appeal gets settled they can. But i beleive they will have to drop some of these kids if the NCAA say that they are keeping theruling the same. However i think the NCAA will do like they always do buckle at the knees and give in.

Kelly's ESPN interview is on their recruiting page for those who missed it.
