By my count, with Loya, we have 35 new players coming (21 HS recruits + 14 transfers in) versus 31 leaving (16 OOE + 3 NFL early + 12 transfers out). If the Gophers stay at 85 scholarships, that means a few more transfers out soon after the bowl game or in the spring portal.
I believe, however, that the NCAA has made some major changes relating to 2025 football rosters. Football is now allowed to offer up to 105 scholarships--up 20 from the long-time limit of 85. Of course, individual school budgets might not allow an expansion of full football scholarships beyond the traditional 85, and I imagine major conferences might themselves impose a scholarship limit of less than 105. But what if the U will allow PJ to utilize more than 85 scholarships in 2025--say 90 or 95? Then there is still room for more transfers without further roster trimming.
Caveat: I have no idea if the U is ticking with 85 football scholarships even though th NCAA will permit up to 105. Do any GHer's have info on this matter?
