This is a floating number several times it has been explained that we have 25 by some weird equation or some fact...cannot find which thread it is in but more that likely it floats in the Recruiting thread of this Forum.
I think the number is 24 or 25. There are some weird rules about players leaving the roster within 2 years not counting, which opens up backcounts. Antonutti retiring gave us another. Others leaving have done the same thing. Pruitt said 25 at halftime of the Alabama game and I think he meant it. Solomon may count against that, though, which means 24.Cuz Chryst and Madre London counted forward against this class.
Are we still pursuing a waiver for Solomon? Does his eligibility to play relate in any way to which class(es) he's eligible to be counted towards?We basically have room for 4 players, 3 if Solomon hits the 2019 class. It sounds like they are pushing him out to the 2020 class so we have 4 total spots left.
No way we hit 25 unless there are some back counts towards last class possible.

Agree, We don't take him unless he is thoroughly evaluated by the staff and know what they are getting....Fans are treating Means like a plug in vs an evaluated and approved take.Because he is really fast and we have no speed. How is that hard to understand?

This Kid could be a diamond in the Rough....he may not be...but He is not a take for just the sake of taking. Staff evaluated and Staff Approved and Sealed the deal....
Fans are treating this kid like a Hey You pickup in a bar.

I guess I'm not saying "don't take him". I'm just wondering why pull the trigger in December. Were they a little scared off by what the kid did to them last Feb when he jumped to FSU?
My reasoning is, he probably would wait, and "what if" you have to turn away a Bogle if he decides to come at the last second (which he can't seem to make up his mind) but have to turn him away because you took Means instead.
Just speculation on my part.
It looks to me like Russell is taking a spot that Bogle could have. That being said if Bogle committed to Bama why do people think he is going to come to UT? Seems like the coaches either one told him he didn’t have a spot and stopped recruiting him or two he just didn’t want to go to UT.I guess I'm not saying "don't take him".
