      Nice job Sean, the class has to be a good one considering how many guys we are losing!! Keeping Harris is obviously a must, but either way landing Allen and O'Connor would be huge for momentum.

      Subtract as much as 8 available scholarships from that number, Sean. You forgot to factor that going into the fall of 2013 MSU is currently at 93 scholarships (75 returning scholarship players + 18 incoming freshman from the 2013 recruiting class). If any of the attrition required to accommodate the 2013 scholarships comes from the senior class, that takes away a scholarship that is available for the 2014 class.

    • Not sure if everyone saw, but Trout verbally committed to OSU this past weekend. With a good portion of the initial 'Plan A' OL already committed elsewhere I'm hoping that we don't end up in the same situation as this past year with low numbers on the OL. I'm sure we'll get 5, but will they be the 5 that we need to solidify the future of the line? Time will tell...
