Johnson - junior
Traore - Senior
Khalifa---coming off injury so redshirted this year but will be rotation next year.

Pryor was a starter but he got injured so he will be back. They are also bringing back Hadley, Scott, Rooths, Johnson and Khalifa. So had Pryor not gotten injured, they would have brought back 5 guys, but since he did, they bring back 6. It's a great starting point, and allowed them to be very aggressive right out of the gate and identify a few guys to backfill positions. This is the kind of thing that I'm talking about that X needs to do in terms of strategy and development.

How does Hadley have any eligibility left? He played in 20-21. Didn’t play in 21-22. Then 3 more years.

How does he have a year left? I know the “Covid rule” was basically that 2021-22 just doesn’t count as a year against eligibility. He didn’t play at all that year, but that’s irrelevant. Him not playing (or if he had played) doesn’t count.

How has he not played his 4 years?

20-21 covid year. 21-22 Junior College which doesn't count anymore. To be fair, that wasn't known when Kelsey got him, so a bit of luck on their part for sure.

Completely forgot...they redshirted another guy from CofC this year--Kobe Rodgers who will be in the mix next year as well.

That's what I'd like to see for X moving forward though and see it every year...get a base of 5-6 guys returning every year...supplement that with some freshman recruiting and guys from portal as needed. That's the way to at least develop some culture in this day and age. Attract, Retain, Develop.

20-21 was not the COVID year. The Covid year was 21-22, and basically they said that THAT year doesn’t count. So if a guy didn’t play that year, well it still doesn’t count, but he still just gets 4 years total.

So this dude did his 4 years. The first year he played 13 games so he can’t get a redshirt for that, right?

How has he not played 4 years? Still stuck logically on why he has eligibility remaining g.
