with the 1400ish number I saw elsewhere. Some are predicting more this year.

360 or so D1 teams, 15 players max, 13 on scholarship so that's 5400 or 4680. But many teams don't use the full scholarship or roster allotment. If you say about 4200+ scholarship players, and people expect the xfer numbers to rise this year, let's just throw the number 1600 out there. That's 38% of scholarship roster turnover estimated in 2024. I'm sure it's even higher for walk-ons who move on from the sport or go down a level to find a schollie. Wild.

Miami's coach was throwing out an estimate of 2000 out of 4000 players, doing a round off for simplicity I take it.
