I had cut and pasted the analysis below (stole it...) from a Magoo post. So it looks like with a couple early to the NFL (Hack, and AJ likely) and some attrition we can take around 20. There would have to be some serious attrition for us to end up taking 25. I don't think Walker will get a scholarship for 2016 as I believe he was awarded a one year scholarship as a former walk on.
No idea about Michigan or tO$u. I also believe that Wheeler probably lost his opportunity to attend PSU, unless he wants to walk on. Still may be a better option than attending pitt.
What I'm surprised about is the low number of PA kids in the class so far. Just 3. CJF definately dominated the state last year. But although he has gotten the top 2 players and may get a few more, as many as 5 or 6 total, it's now what i expected based upon the priority he seemed to place on it and the results he got last year.
Per Magoo:
We have 71 players with 2016 eligibility. I'm not counting Kiley and Warner. I am counting Hack and AJ who could turn pro. I'm also counting Walker now. We lost D. Davis, but Von is on scholie now.

Looks like the writing is on the wall for some 5th year guys such as; Schwan, Wooten, Golden and one of the OL. I can see Hack and AJ going pro. You're at 16. The 4 fifth year guys leaving brings you to 20. Others may leave. Hard to project.
