I say the number could decrease because we're seeing an extraordinary (even for UW) # of walk-ons emerge as scholarship level players. I wouldn't be shocked if as many as three during that span were awarded free rides for the rest of the career, the most likely suspects being; Chris Maragos, Bradie Ewing, and JJ Watt.

But you know there will be even more attrition like always. A couple of players will transfer because they don't see playing time any time soon, a guy will get dismissed for unforeseen personal problems (ala Thorson, Smith), 2-3 5th year seniors who aren't contributing won't be asked to return, and finally on average you'd expect one decommit from your early list.

Extra variables are Dehn potentially greyshirting and the program over-signing by one.

About 13 new players will be signed in addition to the ones already committed.

So much for a small class.

Dont know if youve seen but there is some moron from a site called Firebrettbielema.com that has said he is contacting potential recruits and telling them to hold off their commitments? What a douche why the hell would you try too sabotage the team you root for?

Yeah, I really hope that guy gets caught soon.
