Unofficial Scholarship Breakdown: Room for 8-10 more

With Signing Day fast approaching - and a number of off-season moves having been made over the past two months - we're in a position to update our Unofficial Scholarship Breakdown.

NOTES:  

* Although there has been no official word yet, all nine of the Florida players suspended prior to the start of last season are accounted for below. Antonio Callaway declared for the NFL Draft - while Kadeem Telfort and Jordan Smith announced that they were transferring. The other six are all included on the scholarship chart below with an (S) next to their name.

* Not only was Keivonnis Davis one of nine players suspended for alleged credit card fraud, but back in September he was involved in a scooter accident, in which the only word from Florida was that he had a long road to recovery ahead of him. Will he be able to play football again? Is he still counted against the 85 man limit?

* Long snapper Ryan Farr was placed on scholarship prior to the start of last season. Unlike players who are signed out of high school, who are guaranteed four-year scholarships at Florida, walk-ons who are given scholarships are on a year-to-year basis. R.J. Raymond, another walk-on who was awarded a scholarship, took part in Senior Day activities, normally a sign that the player won't return.

* With Randy Russell being disqualified due to a medical condition, though he will continue on scholarship, he will not count against the 85 man limit despite the fact that he signed an LOI with the Gators. He therefore isn't included in the chart below. The question is, does he count against the 25 man class limit?

* As it stands today, Florida has 77 players on scholarship, eight under the 85 man max. Meaning if everyone on the list below is on scholarship, Florida can still sign eight more players in this class. If Davis is unable to continue or Farr isn't renewed, then the Gators could have up to 10 more that they can sign in this cycle.

  Here is a look at the updated version:
