Some of you have wondered what our scholarship situation is like. I would imagine there may be portal additions added to this yet. The coaches will need to do some roster adjustments. This was posted on Twitter today...

 

A lot of guys are going to transfer out. Between Portal and recruiting,  more will be added. Whats the #? 85 scholarships? Malchow is earning his pay spinning this stack of plates.

We have already been told to expect more portal transfers out after Spring Football and some players see where they sit with the team.  

I wonder how many of the commits will enroll early?

 

This is Lanning shaping the roster the way he wants it to be. 

 

And as I talked about yesterday 3 and is about all a team can support scholarship wise these days. It will be interesting to see how Spring goes to see how it all shuffles out. 

 

The inside linebacker number at 6 looks about right for what Lanning may want that is a solid tree deep at least.

Lanning estimated about 15 in his press conference.

O line is also 3 deep. You need bodies. Most are interior type bodies. Lanning plugged some holes on the D line also.

 

Oregon is going to be a very good football team. If they get "good" defensively, look out, legit title run. Dudes everywhere on this team.

 

Looking for a lot of the 3rd year guys to make a soph leap. Mariø effect stunted development of a lot of these guys.

Below is how Georgia’s roster (88 total) looked in May 2022 for comparison purposes:

 

QB - 4 (+1 vs. Oregon)

RB - 5 (0)

WR - 11 (0)

TE - 6 (+1)

OL - 18 (+3)

DL - 13 (-2)

OLB - 7 (-3)

ILB - 8 (+2)

DB - 13 (-6)

Specialists - 3 (-1)

 

Based on the above, it appears that Oregon has way too many defensive backs. I’m assuming it’s going to be a fierce competition in the spring and then we’ll see a number of transfers. 

We may also have a few too many defensive linemen/outside linebackers.

And the only reason it can't be more is because of crazy scholarship juggling. 

 

Those who enroll early can count to last year's class, if there are any unused scholarships.

Great comparison. 

 

I do feel like we will see some things work themselves out before fall camp. I do think they will let the DBs fight it out because we need a soldi backend for this defense to work. 

Here’s a question that just popped into my head…

 

What if Mari0 is great at recruiting “stars” but not “players?”

 

I ask bc I have been mystified by all the highly rated recruits that washed out for Mari0. That top-5 class he had never materialized on the field. 

 

Sure, it could be Mari0’s inability to coach up players. But very few ended being great for a different coach either (Trey Benson at FSU being the obvious exception).

 

If one is measured by the rank of the recruiting class, it obviously incentivizes stars over players. 

 

One example of a “player” is someone Mari0 didn’t recruit… CJ Verdell, who was the lowest ranked player in his class, but who earned RB1. 

Both Oregon & Georgia have 11 WR's on scholly.  That seems like a lot to me.  Apparently, it isn't.

I feel this comparison might be skewed. Their roster numbers were after spring ball vrs ours right now unless you are thinking what ours may look like 5 months from now.
