1 Smith
2 Gulley
3 Broyld
4 Rene
5 Morris
6 McFarlene
7 Moore
8 Edwards
9 LSmith (TBD)
 
If you don't want to count Rene or LSmith that's fine but Rene is on the roster as a RB and I expect Laray to be at SU. Broyld has not been moved yet and neither has McFarlene.  (maybe bringing in LSmith allows McFarlene to go back to safety - even though the staff sure liked him in late August at the tail.)
 
I personally think 4 QB's is the right depth.
 
We have 2 LB commits - which bumps the total to 8. We're going to probably add a JUCO or 2 - so lets call it 10. After that, do we have the right balance of SAMs, WILs and MIKES ?
 
Also have 2 seniors next year in Spruill and Coker.
 
We actually only have 9 returning offensive lineman. That's dangerously low if we suffer a couple of ACLs and a kid isn't panning out. 15 is widely considered a good total roster number and then you have to break that down by position.
 
Need the right mix of seniors on down to freshman for every position. So it's one thing to get the roster back up to 85 but then you need to balance it out. And clearly you're going to have kids not make an impact or attrition (med/grades/other) which obviously is part of the challenge of trying to achieve the right balance but why it needs to be done.
 
Sutomcat is usually pretty accurate with laying out the right mix/roster balance. I'm sure he's due for one of these threads.
