Another DB. Attrition is coming from the predictable groups.

We are one under the scholarship limit now.

I am not sure the exact timing, but at one time there was no limit to football scholarships (we're talking early 20th century). 1973 - limit went to 105, 1978 went to 95, 1992 to current 85. Those are football only. So to my recollection, 140 was the football only limit in early 60's. The only reason I have any ides is because I was naive enough to think I could play big time football starting in 1964. At 140 or whatever the number was then, most of the "good" players that wanted to play got scholarships, and a lot of players that were not very good got schollies, too.

An even further aside, I do know if you were a multi-sport player and one of those was football, you counted against the football limit.

You no doubt remember Jerry Priestly :)

Is Ezzard going to sit next season? If so, did he even apply for a waiver? If so how is a coaching regime change not a reasonable waiver request but not being good enough to win a starting job reasonable?

We don't know yet. Waivers are applied for once the kid gets on campus.

From his tweets I saw on back, he expects to play immediately

Jakob Brashear going on a medical scholarship. Junior Linebacker. Never recorded any stats that I can tell. Can finish his degree but won't count against the limit. We are 2 under now.

Yeah, probably a year too late.

He will be most known most for Ted Roof choosing him over legacy 4* LB Jordan Mack
You mean the guy who we let go to UVA? The one who has 30 tackles against us now, with another year to play?

The days of Clown Coordinators are over. I don't include Wommack or Woody in that group.
