I kind of have a good feeling on Jefferson. Why would Bama wait until the last minute to ask Christian Bell to greyshirt if they didn't have someone last minute say they were coming? Bell said they asked him to greyshirt last week. Everyone else was pretty much known at that point. I think the staff has a good feeling someone else is signing and since he stopped at Bama going and coming to Ole Miss, I think it's Jefferson.

Everything I've seen or read says we asked Bell to grayshirt because he needs to work to get big enough to have a shot at competing for a position. We've got the space in terms of numbers but from what it seems the staff thinks if he wants to have a shot at playing for us he's got some work to do.

There would need to be a scholarship-usage reason for Saban to ask him to grayshirt. If we don't take 25 for the class, then we're hitting the 85 team limit.

That's not how it works.

Tell me if I'm wrong... Looked at the roster for Bama.. I took out the senior class and transfer people... I hope my numbers is right, but We have 109 players.. including walkon and 2015 signees. I would think that we already went past 85 limit on scholarship... meaning I think we're going to see maybe 2-5 people leaving after spring due to medical disqualification or transfer....

I saw on 247sports that Dee Liner had tweeted that he had been released from his scholarship. He praised the coaches and the University. I hadn't seen anything about this on the forum or anywhere else on the internet, but that would open a spot on the 85 limit.

No matter what the rest of the day holds, this has been another stellar signing day. Coach Saban and his team are remarkable.

65 currently on scholarship after transfers and early entries counting Scarbrough. With 23 "new" commitments, that puts Bama up to 88. They'll have 3 extra to exit via transfer/medical/etc.
