How Many???

[Spartan54]

Scholarships do we have now opened up with all these transfers???

[midwestduck82]

If I remember right Mops said about 15-17 originally. We have to be close to the 20 now.

[Tray Dub]

If I remember right, mops was already taking into account some transfers that hadn't happened yet. So I'd guess were at 17ish. Don't hold me to that at all though. Midwest may be right and we could be up to 20, idk.

I would say we're going to get close to the maximum scholarship number since we still don't know if any of the incoming recruits aren't going to qualify. 20 isn't a bad guess as of now though. Right now, recruits have to be thinking they can come in right away and compete or something bad is brewing and don't want to come to Oregon now. I think it'll be closer to the former and Kelly will be able to pull some in despite all of the recent troubles.

I think the current number is 14. Some of the incoming class may not make it, Cliff Harris (grades), Braxton Lane (baseball), probably another one or two.

That would put us at 16-18. If we have any more transfers or more than 4 don't show up from this fall it will go up from there.

As of now, there are 13 scholarship seniors for this coming season by my count. Plus, there are 6 open from the transferring players and we are at about 19 right now. We then have to take into account that 2-4 players from this past recruiting class won't be getting in so we're probably going to be giving out about 21-23 scholarships this year. This is probably a good thing since this year's class is very deep and Oregon is in position for several top prospects. The year we have to look out for is 2010 season because there will be 24 scholarship seniors (as of now) on the roster. The classes after that one are pretty small (15-18 players) and are very deficient in offensive talent and depth. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of JUCOs in 2011 to help give the team an infusion of game-ready players.

This was posted on DSA and I believe it's accurate:

11 Seniors to be 2009
24 Juniors
19 Sophomores
8 Redshirt Freshmen from 2008
21 Incoming Freshmen
__

82 Remain after Pflugrad Harper & Roper departures

That counts everybody from our incoming class making it and already accounts for the other departures (Celetto, Stevens)

If that is the case, we subtract the 11 seniors to be and end up with 71. That allows us to take 14. Add anybody who doesn't make it in, to that. If it's 2 we have 16. If it's 4 we will have 18.

We may end up losing a LB from the team, which would increase the # to 15 and I've heard of an unhappy DB also. That would make it 16 before counting any incoming recruits who fail to show up.

This is a young team to begin with. It would really hurt to lose anymore players. Especially two potential defensive players if Oracle is right. I wish it was fall already so we knew what was going on and could get a good guage of this teams potential.

This isn't correct. As Oracle pointed out, the number is currently 14. That number is with all departures that have been made public factored in.

It depends on which players leave the program. If, for example, Terrance Pritchett is one of the players, it likely would have little if any impact since he isn't likely to be a part of the two-deep depth chart anyway. There are enough good linebackers in the program, with more set to join the team shortly, that his departure wouldn't really be a major blow in the short term or the long term. Out of the 5 sophomore linebackers the Ducks have on scholarship, he is probably considered last in the pecking order due to his off the field issues.

Still only 14? Yikes.

I'm guessing
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
2 OL
3 DL
1 LB
3 DB (safety + cornerback)

Something along those lines?

[Greydrake]

When is Stevens due to return, spring of 2011?

[buckmarkduck]

We have 15 SRs, and have lost 5 players so far to transfer. So it looks like 20, Im not sure where you are getting only 14 at? As for Stevens we'll see if he ever returns, though I'm not holding my breath.

Read Oracle's post. We have 11 seniors, not 15

[jhopduck]

If enough of these top players remain interested we will probably over book anyways, so it's probably not too important. I doubt we roll in less than 17ish players this year.
