i believe we can have 13 players on a team (12 maybe?), and you need that many for good practices, and have seen in the past where grad assistants have had to be called into service, so it makes me think there's a good chance that maybe we cannot get 9 more kids. you;d think the portal should be to get a few just because of NIL $, and maybe you can even have a few kids who directly reach out and ask if there's any $ if he left his current school (we can't call them o/w it's tampering), but i'd think there could be a few kids who might see we're short players and put a feeler out to see if it's possible to do a late transfer. will be curious to see how many players we have in the fall and how long it takes to fully fill out the roster. kinda feels like two years ago but with more optimism because it's a complete overhaul, no leftover from previous coaches. go cards and go CPK!!!
