There are 84 players currently on scholarship, so we start with 1 open scholarship.

There are 18 players graduating -- 14 have used all their eligibility and 4 are graduating with a year of eligibility remaining (Luck, Martin, DeCastro, Evans).

There are 3 walk-ons who were awarded scholarships "for this year" (Picazo, Ward, Parry). The implication was that these were one-year schollies, with the understanding that they might not be renewed.

That gets us to 22 available scholarships. That's enough.

I am confident that there will be some attrition between now and the beginning of fall camp. There always is. The top candidate to leave is Gaffney. But we always seem to lose somebody due to medical issues, transfer, or whatever. When the dust has settled, I think we will have enough scholarships for all of the scholarship players, as well as some or all of the 3 walk-ons mentioned above.
