We have only ten players on the roster. The full compliment is, of course, thirteen, plus however many walk-ons we happen to have that season. It is normal not to have your full thirteen scholarship players available at any given time due to injuries and other factors, but that is not a problem because you normally carry several in surplus. Right now, if everyone is healthy and available, we can scrimmage. If anyone gets hurt, though, we cannot even scrimmage.
Scraping together a few walk-ons usually is not a problem, so as far as having warm bodies to scrimmage, that ought never to be a problem. There are enough "almost" players on any campus who would love to wear the uniform. And we might not be announcing commitments right now since we are not in the usual season for it, and will wait until they pass whatever official procedures must happen. However, with our access to Verbal Commits and Twitter, we usually are able to see even the verbal aspects of recruits when they happen - and so far they are not happening.
I am sure we will get some players sooner or later, but this staff seems to be laboring under a curious lack of urgency.
