Juco players

[dannyripms]

how many did we get last year and how many will actually play? sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. I heard Jake talking about it and got me thinking. We need sweat and rivers for sure, not sure about the others.

3 DBs - 1 will likely play but is injured
4 DL - 2 will play and 1 will start, 1 will redshirt, 1 transferred
2 OL - neither will play
We got 1 starter out of 9 transfers. Should be 3, but Rivers will RS and Abrams is injured

We signed nine.

Pope is gone (supposedly similar issues to Cole and Rivers but he didn't want to sit out a year) Cole is redshirting. Rivers will too unless we win the appeal.

So that leaves us with six that are eligible.

Sweat and Abram will obviously be big contributors. Autry will probably play. Landrews might play. And then it appears that Phillips and Champion will redshirt.

Pope's departure was a pretty big deal, and Rivers having to redshirt would be an even bigger deal. But with the other seven (aside from maybe Cole) then we'll be getting the amount of contributions from them this year that we expected when they signed.

Autry is definitely going to play. He's big time. OU wanted him badly.

Abram is not injured according to Mullen; it was just a scare.

Autry will definitely be in the DL rotation.

From what SR was saying, Pope was going to be in the same situation as Cole and Rivers as far as eligibility this year. The difference was, however, that while Cole and Rivers have a redshirt year to use Pope did not. He was just going to lose his JR year so I can't really blame Pope for moving on to FCS where he could play now.
