Welcome Alex. I figure we have at least 6 more 'ships. Maybe more if some Jrs leave early.

Where do you get 6 more? I count 85 on scholarship with only 11 seniors and we have 10 commits, leaving only one more, plus juniors that leave early.
I count 11 seniors too, but I don't think that WF is maxed out at 85 right now as Laronji Vason is not enrolling. Also, I think that Grobe keeps a couple ships that he issues to preferred walk-ons on a year-by-year basis, if he does not max out on scholarship recruits: Jason Green, Ben Wufleck, Patrick Thompson, Spencer Bishop. Also, there are a handful of RS juniors that have not played much, aren't expected to play much and may decide to move on after the season: John Gallagher, Frank Souza, Quan Rucker, Brendan Cross. Finally, with 85 on the roster, some other player(s) with eligibility will likely leave due to unforssen circumstances (who would have guessed that Chris Givens would be an early entry into the NFL draft at this time last year?).
I think 16 is as good a guess as any.

Now is the Time.
We have a number of guys getting ready to break into "Bonafide Star" status...
4 guys on Defense will vie for ALL-AMERICA Honors:
Whitlock (5'9.5 - 267) NT
Olson (6'3-247) ILB
Jackson (6'1.5-227) OLB
Noel. (5'10-185) CB
Those 4 will be variously listed among the top 4 compilation of Postseason All-America squads - It Has Been Seen!
A.J. Marshall will vie for one of the top 3 All Conference squads along with Kevin Johnson @ CB.
We are on the verge of witnessing the best Defense yet compiled under Jim Grobe. Better than any that has come before.
Don't forget Hazime is one and done. We lost Mosby and Knott. Chase has used 8 of his 9 lives. My count was 13 (T-Bo, Davis, Booi, Irby,Garrick W, Ellis, Ehrman Betro, Haynes,Okoro, Newman, Lovell, Hazime). The thing I can't figure out is what walk-on got scholarships other than Wulfeck? Is his just for one year? 4safeties are Sr in '13 and there is talk of putting Dom Gibson at RB. The coaches know more than we do or else they would not have stacked up at OL and TE. Maybe the think someone will be taking the F train out of town.Where do you get 6 more?

Chase got taken back by Coach Grobe and the staff.
^^ Didn't realize that..............when? good news for the Oline.
What's the story with Hazime? I've heard lots of stories/rumors but nothing 'official'
I've heard Hazime is definitive and will be here to back up Nikita/provide dline help
