Michigan football over the scholarship limit? [Ed-S: no.]
Unless I am mistaken Michigan is two over the 85 scholarship limit as I type today.
Some combination of attrition, RS SR's not coming back, or current signees not getting admitted, adding up to two, must occur relatively soon.
I am counting Sypniewski amongst the 87.
[Ed-S: Two guys aren't returning because of injury. Out of respect for them I ask that you not speculate on the board. EDIT 2: And lo people speculated. Locked. Sorry.]

Being two over the limit on Signing Day is almost a rock-solid guarantee you'll be easily under the limit in August. Attrition always takes care of that.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:11 PM ^
I know it's exciting to get 4 star guys to commit and commit early, but keeping an eye on the 85 limit is what we do in the B1G. I feel bad for the 2 guys who get cut to make room for the two extra guys signed in this class.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:17 PM ^
We want to keep all aspects of recruiting way above board, and to outside eyes this could look bad.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:20 PM ^
Next time don't skip over the comments and mod edits before posting. Nobody is being "cut" , genius, so nothing looks even remotely bad. The coaches didn't just sign as many as they could without having places for people - that's what the SEC does.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:25 PM ^
Well, because you're either trolling, don't pay attention, or just stupid. Either way your comment is patently false and is being treated as such.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:17 PM ^
You didn't read the edit, did you?
February 7th, 2013 at 4:26 PM ^
I know I'm a mere peon but this really needs a lock in addition to the edit. Or hell, even a deletion all together. There really is NOTHING to see here.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:31 PM ^
you are looking for a mod.
I am a simple shrubber.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
Damn, I knew that and forgot!
February 7th, 2013 at 6:20 PM ^
I'm keeping an eye on it. People are mostly behaving.
BiSB you are like Clark Kent in Superman II after he did the light show thing and lost his powers, and now every time you pick a fight with a dude at a truck driver's stop in Saskatchewan you get blood on your lips and are all like "Blood...my blood."
Then the President comes on TV and General Zod is standing behind him. And suddenly you realize this metaphor could have ended like a paragraph ago and still gotten the same point across, but don't really care because in this metaphor you are Superman.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:27 PM ^
You're still my boy Blue.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:15 PM ^
Question: if we're 2 over right now and there are 16 seniors AND everyone is saying we'll have 16 schollies next year (ie, the seniors before attrition), then wouldn't we have to assume that someone other than seniors (ie, Hagerup and Mike Jones) will be gone to get us to 85? Because if we think it's Hagerup and Jones then that would still only give us 14 spots next year. My head hurts.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:20 PM ^
Oh man, I can't wait to speculate who it is! Speculate, speculate, speculate....man this speculating is tough.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:37 PM ^
...but I can't help myself.
1. Tyroil Smoochie-Wallace
2. Donkey Teeth
I wonder how Bolivian is gonna look this time of year...
February 7th, 2013 at 4:43 PM ^
But when I do go, I hope it is for something epic, like comparing a certain blogger to a certain lead singer of Nickleback. I want my pilgrimage to mean something
February 7th, 2013 at 5:03 PM ^
If this didn't get me sent when I made it, I don't know what will.......
February 7th, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
I'm not sure you could have done much more.
February 7th, 2013 at 5:09 PM ^
You sure it's not The Player Formerly Known as Mousecop?
February 7th, 2013 at 4:36 PM ^
Well Coach Hoke called me today to inform me that there will be no ChopBlocks on team #134. I appreciate your condolences.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:37 PM ^
Tacopants. I know he has infinite eligibility, but I don't think Borges knows how to properly utilize him in the offense.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:49 PM ^
Is Drew Henson going to play baseball in the fall?
February 7th, 2013 at 6:03 PM ^
Why do people worry about these things. I am sure Michigan has complete control over this and understands the rules better than any of us.
February 7th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
I do not wish for any names, but I would like a little clarification on the "not returning due to injury." I am assuming it will be two guys that do not get their 5th year because of injury?
February 7th, 2013 at 6:14 PM ^
Or it could be two guys not returning to the team because of injury regardless of what class they are in.
February 7th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
Right because when I said no names I meant I'd share everything but their names.
Okay, both players like the color blue.
February 7th, 2013 at 6:36 PM ^
roster should have 85 legitimate scholarship guys this fall.
Not slighting the 7 walk-ons that earned 1-year scholarships last August, but our roster was thin (OL and TE in particular).
February 7th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
This doesn't negatively impact Devins redshirt. Sorry, I had to.
February 7th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
I thought that was our thing....
February 7th, 2013 at 7:23 PM ^
Why is this such an issue for everyone? On the ohio state sites i go to they are worried wether or not we are at or under 82 (which supposedly we are at 82 and thus johnny townsend went to florida) but my point is Alabama and co. in the sec has won how many national championships in a row? And it's because they dont give a damn how many kids they have until they have to be at 85 so why should we? I mean i want to believe that the B1G is a cleaner conference that does things by the "rules" but if the SEC has been oversigning then it obviously isnt against the rules. Face it they are the best conference in football and i'm sick of hearing about the SEC. I just feel that if it's ok for them to pick from 100 kids they gave scholarships to and then figure out a way to get to 85 the rest of the conferences should be able to do the same thing without feeling bad about it.
