1 transfer confirmed (Powell)
9 players in the portal (Swann, Williams, Peek, Eboh, Hattis, Hamilton, Harrington, Stewart, Richardson)
9 players not in the portal who haven't announced they are coming back (Pryts, Costello, Schaffer, Fox, Toner, Maddox, Speights, Butler, Parson)
1 possible medical redshirt (Stratford)
2 juniors who could declare to the NFL (Adebo, Parkinson) [edited to reflect Little coming back]
In the worst case scenario, we have 54 returning players, and 19 players coming in, which would put us at 73(!). In the best case, not everyone in the portal actually transfers, and Swann, Williams, Hattis, and Hamilton are back, and a couple players not in the portal yet who are not anticipated to contribute don't come back and we get a couple of late-breaking commits so that the class is more like 20-21.

The current count is 76 players with eligibility remaining, minus one who has accepted a transfer out plus 20 recruits coming in including EJ Smith, so that gets us to 95. That means we need at least 10 spots to materialize (perhaps a couple more if we have January signings). With 9 in the portal and waiting to hear from 9 more academic seniors and 2 academic juniors, we will not have a problem, but it is more a question of optimizing who comes back and who doesn't.
