Harbaugh Expects no Further Attrition Before Season

Submitted by alum96 on

Not sure if this was parsed into other stories so if so feel free to IBD, but if not worthwhile to note as many have speculated there were ultimatums given - especially in tems of medicals this summer and it sounds like none of those folks will be leaving at this time or the near future.   There is also a blurb about anyone new coming into the program - it sounds like the door is not completely shut on that but there is nothing of urgency.

Harbaugh also said Tuesday that he does not expect any further attrition before the start of the 2015 season. Asked if there would be any possible additions to the roster before the beginning of the year, Harbaugh said "I don't know that. There's nobody that's really on the ... I don't know."

out because the assumption was there were other medicals at a minimum. I take the comment as more of a "I'm not going to talk about it now." type of thing. It doesn't rule out "surprises".

I apologize if this has already been discussed recently, but where exactly do we currently sit scholarship wise? If I can remember back to the Pipkins thing, and what has happened since then, I think were at 83? Anyone know for sure? Thanks

But there will almost certainly be some due to injuries.  Whatever starting lineups you're projecting at this point, it's a pretty sure bet that at least 2 or 3 of those guys will be unavailable at the start of the season (and for how much longer, who knows?) due to injuries suffered during fall practice, and probably at least one will be a key guy.   Unfortunate, but that's just the way football goes.
