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.
