So . . . just noodlin’ on something while waiting out a pitching change. Way too many of those in MLB. Screw you, Tony La R . . .

Eyeing the football season, we’re sitting at 87 players on scholarship (unless my count is off), which means a couple of attrition cases before August. Who’s outward bound?

Looking ahead, we have 16 commitments for the class of 2012. We’ll have 13 seniors this fall, so that leaves us another three players over. And the staff clearly will sign more than 16, probably more than 20. Gotta corral a couple more offensive linemen, probably a DB (maybe two) . . . and there are offers out to several blue-chip talents, in and out of state.

Where do we find the scholarship space?
