Analysis

When asking yourself how many scholarship spots are available in a class, look at the number of expected graduating players, and also take into account the number of 'open scholarships'. That will give you a close estimate. As NCAA rules prohibit a team from having more than 85 scholarship players on their roster once fall practice starts, the 'total' above is subtracted from '85' to yield the 'open' number.

The exact number of scholarship spots available is difficult to determine as upcoming transfers, scholarships awarded to walk-ons and career ending injury issues alter the total, and will affect the amount of players OU may sign in a class.
