Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 2591518, member: 6357"] There’s an outside chance we get to 12. If Battle comes back and both Braswell and Osun choose Syracuse, that would bring us to 12 (with Buddy still going under scholarship). There’s also the possibility that a traditional transfer materializes in May or June that Cuse coaches actually want and can get (a la Gbibije, Hughes, Chukwu, and Wesley Johnson). But I agree that it’s more likely we’ll have 11 guys on the roster next season. And as you said, traditionally we’ve almost never used all 13. Typically one scholarship goes to a walk on. The first year of sanctions really hurt us when we only had 10 scholarships, and even the next two years were pretty bad when we had only 11, mostly because roster management and recruiting become more of a challenge when you have less scholarships to offer and hence a smaller margin for error.
