Pickett and Cody Johnson Transferring

Also not shocked about Cody. Porter used him incorrectly and was quick to pull him. This is all on Porter.

One question, though. Two transfers out (Johnson and Pickett). We didn't have any space prior to these transfer, right? So we now have two spots open.

Should I be "floored", or "FLOORED", if you know what I mean?

Should have seen the Cody transfer coming:

We assumed there would be a spot available because of Tanner Williams. But, I refer you to our handy Scholarship Chart.

It still accounts for Tanner though because he is still officially on the roster.

[GoRamblers]

So, in theory, we have 2 spots available (provided we actually sign Knuth).

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Tanner is still "on scholarship", but his scholarship doesn't count against the team limit of 13, because of his injury which ended his career.

I could look up the pertinent NCAA Rule, but I don't feel like it.

That's correct.

I might as well take Tanner off of this list, I think. Maybe I'll do that.

[GoRamblers]

I'm curious to know what offers we have that are outstanding.

I know VerbalCommits isn't the end all be all, but it seems we only have 2 players out there: Michael Karena and Darrion Strong.

Strong is going JuCo route, so he is off the list. And no word yet on Karena.

Who else am I missing?
