The numbers ALWAYS wind up working themselves out, generally due to unexpected attrition.  Every single year we have:
[LIST]
[*]A player or two who decide to transfer due to lack of perceived PT
[*]A player or two who flunks out of school
[*]A player or two who decides to hang 'em up due to medical reasons
[*]A player or two who decides to take his diploma and move on with the rest of their lives
[*]A player or two who have a disciplinary issue that leads to them leaving school
[*]A player or two who leaves football to pursue some other interest
[/LIST]
Also keep in mind that we generally have a recruit or two fail to qualify.
 
Also factor in that we have a new coaching staff, and that after spring practice we might have some additional attrition that isn't clear now due to these guys deciding that they don't like the direction of the program, that this isn't the staff they signed up to play with, etc.
 
I'd expect us to sign 25 or possibly even more recruits.  There were at least 3-4 players from last year's roster who I expected to be contributors this year who ended up being medically disqualified, etc. so my expectation is that the normal attrition will open up 5 or more additional slots for the fall.  Happens every year, in various combinations of reasons why.
