Quote from Bronco7454 on January 4, 2024, 6:21 amRight now - after learning that Carde will not be returning for 2024 - I count a total of 90 scholarships total for the 2024 Boise State football team. Keep in mind that 8 or 9 of these players will not be on the team until next August (depending on whether OL Metoyer is going to be a Jan. or Aug. enrollee). So the actual number right now is 81 scholarship players for spring ball. Meaning they could add as many as 4 more players for spring ball. However if they did add 4 more players for spring ball that would mean that 9 current scholarship players would be leaving the program before fall camp begins.
Here's how I came up with the current total of 90:
OFFENSE - 40
QB - 3 - Madsen - Tiller - Arnett (Aug. enrollee)
RB - 6 - Jeanty - Dubar - Crowe - Dudley - Riley (Aug. enrollee) - Gaines (Jan. enrollee)
WR - 10 - Caples - Bolt - Strachan - Penry - Wright - Ford - Merriwether - Grier - Jackson (Aug. enrollee) - Bates (Aug. enrollee)
TE - 6 - Lauter - Terry - Wagner - Dawson - Fisher - Anderson (Jan. enrollee)
OL - 15 - Casey - Dooley - Randolph - Carreon - Moore - Schmidt - Cardona - Komolafe - Metoyer (Jan enrollee? or Aug. enrollee?) - Holmes - Rasmussen - Cox - Omotinugbon (Aug. enrollee) - Bienvenue (Aug. enrollee)
DEFENSE - 47
DE - 10 - Hassanein - Virgin - Wegis - Hunter - Brown - Marsh (Jan. enrollee) - Wilborn - Caywood (Jan. enrollee) - McKenna (Jan. enrollee) - Wartenkin (Aug. enrollee)
DT - 10 - Gums - Fely - Callahan - Newton - Brown - Stege - Madrie - Talo - Sanusi (Jan. enrollee) - Hanks (Aug. enrollee)
LB - 9 - Simpson - Notarainni - Martin - Hanbrick - Misa - Ripp - Milkovic - Ezeani (Aug. enrollee) - Martineau (Jan. enrollee)
CB - 10 - Clark - McCoy - Reed - Kaniho - Neal - Thornton - Johnson - Tahir - Taylor - Tolmaire (Jan. enrollee)
S - 8 - Oladipo - Robinson - Teubner - Benefield - Lopez - Washington - Hawthorne - Anderson (Jan. enrollee)
SPECIAL TEAMS - 3
PK - Dalmas
P - Ferguson-Reynolds
LS - Hutton

Quote from ian on January 5, 2024, 8:10 pmCould they possibly give up their scholarship to help the team? Guys like Tyler Crowe (60,000+ social media followers) could make enough in NIL money that they don’t need the scholarship money for their 1 class to stay eligible for a supersenior semester.

Could they? Sure. Will they? Probably not and I wouldnt blame them. Coach D will have the tough conversations with players. It may not happen right this instant. I'd look after the spring game for more players to possibly enter the portal.

Quote from Bronco7454 on January 6, 2024, 4:20 am100 percent correct. But I don't see the need. I go thru the roster and I see at least nine guys on this team who I would characterize as non-contributors to date. I would never name names but there are guys who are likely candidates to be leaving the program prior to fall camp.
Secondly this attrition happens EVERY year. It's perfectly normal for this process to work itself out.
Thirdly Crowe (and the other former walk-on's like Teubner and Hutton, etc.,) worked his ass off to EARN that scholarship. HE DESERVES IT.

Quote from Bronco7454 on January 9, 2024, 8:09 amAfter all of the new additions in the last week the CURRENT number of scholarship athletes on the Boise State football team is NINETY-FOUR players and that includes the players who won't be on the team until next August. So sometime between right now and next August nine of those scholarships players will be lost to the annual circumstances we refer to as "attrition".
