[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 42259, member: 216"] I like this thinking the best. I could see and argument for a couple less OL/DL due to other positions being able to contribute much more on special teams. But, I could also see another argument for having a couple more OL/DL due to importance of position and proclivity to injury/busts. I don't think I would reserve 3 spots for specialists in each class though. CCG had plenty of success with that just by doing the walk-on thing and giving the ones who earned the starting spots scholarships. I might recruit one specialist per year. (Plus you could easily have a good kicker also be your punter). So, I guess my formula would be out of 23 rather than out of 25. QB: 1/23 * 85 = 4 BB: 1/23 * 85 = 4 AB: 2/23 * 85 = 7 WR: 2/23 * 85 = 7 OL: 5/23 * 85 = 18 DL: 4/23 * 85 = 15 LB: 2/23 * 85 = 7 S: 2/23 * 85 = 7 CB: 2/23 * 85 = 7 Hybrid: 1/23 * 85 = 4 Specialists: 1/23 * 85 = 4 ... (I would reduce this to 3, give whoever earns the starting positions at K, P, LS a scholly each year) Total: 83 Then you have 2 more to play with and offer whoever is the best player you can get. Now, of course this is just a base plan and that plan can change based on the players you can actually get and them choosing GT. If we can get a game changer at a position that takes us over by 1 or 2, then do that and sacrifice somewhere else. I personally think the most wiggle room is at AB and WR. Imo, we only need maybe 4 guys who can actually play those positions, plus any QB's and BB's who don't get the starting job can always move or cross-train at those other spots. I would rather see us play our 3 best guys at AB and not do so many in the rotation. Same at WR. But, I don't know everything, so there's probably a good reason CPJ does the AB's the way he does.
