Perhaps the coaches are saving scholarships so they can bring in a "full" class in 2022.   And, recruitment of the 2021 class was a bit of a crap shoot because of the restrictions; no in-person visits etc...  coaches couldn't go out and see recruits in person. and recruits couldn't come see the campus and facilities either.  I'm sure some of the young men who signed as part of the 2021 class actually came to campus this summer without having ever been to the campus before.  Imagine that.

Also about half a dozen of the transfers were executed after the 2021 class was signed.  So when were coaches supposed to sign replacements?  And lastly, SU signed 24 players as part of the 2021 class (including transfers like Shrader and Simmons, 25 if Tyler had made it), so how many more players could they have brought in?  4 or 5 more if some early enrollees could be applied to the 2020 class (maybe)?  Do you really want to "take a shot" on a few guys and be stuck with them for four years just to fill scholarships?

After 2021 we could lose as few as seven players who run out of eligibility after this season.   Another 20 players (RS-Jr's, Jr's and RS-So's) will have been on campus for more than four years and could graduate. And of course, with the portal being what it is, every player could choose to leave.

It has to be a nightmare to manage a roster these days with all of the fluidity and uncertainty.
