I wouldn't be surprised if we signed 30-35 recruits next year

We can sign have up to 11 early enrollees next year count towards this year's class. I can see this staff going out and putting together a very large class to make up for the lack of depth in this class.
 
Huh? How much attrition do you expect? Boyd and Conner should go pro, Pitt has 7 or 8 SRs in addition to that and a few others will quit/transfer. 30 to 35? I'm not understanding this... I'm thinking 17 to 20 in the next class.

i wouldn't mind the new staff cleaning house on the never-will-be's, but 30-35 is ridiculous. i'm thinking six early signees and another 18 to 19 other signings...that would still be a huge class and will fill all the ships we have left over and cover the defectors.
 
There are 11 juniors on the pitt website right now. That means you have to assume 20 guys leave before the next signing day. I hope that isnt the case.
 
Allow me to explain something to you.

While it is true you can sign up to 25 in a class you can't have more than 85 on scholarship at any one time. The class was small this year because Pitt was up against the 85 man limit and will be small again next year for the same reason unless a whole gang of guys leave the program early.

Look at the roster and the guys who will be RSJR and guys from strange locations for next season. Like Wisconsin lol. It's pretty easy to get close to 20 openings if that group doesn't see the field for much. 19 or 20 isn't a small class but 30 might be nuts.

They aren't going to screw around with very many of Paul Chryst's reaches if they can't contribute next season.

The real trick is not losing those players you want or need.
