Feder's departure puts it at 85 as of right now

technically, any new pledge from here (22 we know of on 1/11/18) has to = 1:1 attrition

Sorry, dumb question, but as attrition that’s transfers, medical, early departures, etc correct? So that would mean the guys who have already early declared (Ward, Hubbs, Baker) are factored in but that’s it correct? We would need further transfers, early departures, etc to gain added spots?

So long as we have no more than 85 players on schollie when classes start next fall we are good.

10 years ago this was not common up north (very common in the SEC). In the last five years or so, everyone has adopted it. I don't think it's a coincidence that the northern teams have been doing better on average.

Yes.

They'll get 2 DEs and try for 1-2 studs at OT. That means 2-4 more guys have to leave, because the NFL departures are probably done (Dre'Mont, Parris and Johnny were possibilities).

1. QB battle loser
2. Random off-field dismissal (for grades or behavior) - just a likelihood, nothing pending

If they miss on the OTs, then they do not need any more transfers. If they bring in more than the 2 DEs, they need more guys to leave. There are backup OL that are being passed by the talented frosh. 3 junior LBs are fighting to get into the starting lineup before Browning, Werner and the incoming Frosh make their mark. There are 4 sophomore safeties fighting for one open safety spot (with Okudah as a possibility plus 3 incoming freshmen).

Yeah the quality of depth at every position will be the highest it’s ever been IMO. Just look at H with Parris, McCall and Gill. That’s quiet the arsenal at one position. And that’s the case across the board.

All good points. There's also going to be a fight at DT with a legit 5-DEEP (!) with both true frosh DT's & Antwuan coming in early for spring ball. Not a SR among the 10 players in the mix either, though this should be Dre'mont's swan song

It's crazy that at one point some people were panicking over OSU not being able to sign Parsons, Oweh, and Cox. Now osu is set to close with a next wave (I wouldn't consider then plan b) of DE signees and both can end up being as good if not better than the aforementioned 3 that signed elsewhere. And the fact that the staff can reach back and go after a kid that they seemed to pass on a while ago, but he tore up the UA all star game, give him a visit and now he's back in the mix.

We are bringing in talent at a crazy rate. Another NC will be only a matter of time

So, any sense who is higher on the board? TF or JJB? Or take both? Wonder if there wasn't a bit of an ask to slow down on Friday's part.

I would be surprised if JBB was above Friday on OSU's board. Friday is college ready as a SDE and JJB is 1 to 2 years away from playing with his hand on the ground.

If Friday is delaying (or being delayed), its for other reasons.
