Probably 50...
But they have 29 on board right now and are pushing for like 3 more which will give them 32. I don't know how Butch is doing it...smh. They signed 35 last year leaving only 50 spots...then they are on track to sign another 30 plus again this year. Either they are grey shirting a hella bunch of players or they are cutting a bunch of current ones each year. I don't know how that will work after this season considering the NCAA made 4 year mandatory scholly's unless that player decided to leave or is kicked off.
We had some of the freshman we recruited last year transfer cause they lost position battles. For example Daniel Helm was a highly recruited 4 star TE that lost the starting spot to Ethan Wolfe (another freshman) and was also getting passed up in practice by another freshman TE that they were redshirting. . He transferred to Duke cause he saw that he'd be 3rd string for the next 4 years. DeAndre Payne was another highly recruited 4 star CB that got beat out by 2 other freshman CBs for playing time. He transferred to Maryland. These are just 2 names. The same story holds true for a bunch of the Derek Dooley holdovers.
Butch has pretty much created a culture where talent always wins out. He won't start upperclassmen just because they've earned it. And he won't stop recruiting more talented players just cause you're here. Either transfer or be on the bench if you get beat out.
