I counted 41 names on the teams, that is a few more than usual. I am looking forward to seeing all of the new faces.

That has to be cut down to 35 eligible players prior to next Spring's starting practice date if I am reading the following correctly:

Per the NCAA D-1 Manual:

17.2.8.3 Varsity Squad Size Limitation—Championship Segment. An institution shall declare a varsity squad of a maximum of 35 student-athletes by the day prior to its first scheduled contest in the championship
segment of the playing and practice season. Only those student-athletes who are declared as varsity squad members at that time shall be eligible to participate in countable athletically related activities with the varsity
squad during the remainder of the championship segment.

Sounds like we have some competition ahead for the last half-dozen roster spots.

Do redshirts count in the 35 number, 72'?

Do redshirts count in the 35 number, 72'?

I don't know for sure. It says only the 35 named players can participate in "countable athletically related activities".

17.02.1 Countable Athletically Related Activities. Countable athletically related activities include any required activity with an athletics purpose involving student-athletes and at the direction of, or supervised by,
one or more of an institution’s coaching staff (including strength and conditioning coaches) and must be counted within the weekly and daily limitations under Bylaws 17.1.6.1 and 17.1.6.2. Administrative activities (e.g., academic meetings, compliance meetings) shall not be considered as countable athletically related activities.

That would mean only the 35 named players can participate in orgainized practices, conditioning workouts and games. So I guess the answer is the 35 does include redshirt candidates if you want them practicing and working out with the team.

That's my reading of the rules which may not be accurate. A good question for the Brent Kemnitz show maybe.

Albert's toe must be okay. He pitched Sunday night and looked very good.
