If Jon is correct and assuming that the 5 seniors were all on full
scholarships, Maine could give 3 sholarships this year.  Have any verbals to
come to Maine been announced?  Who are the players and is there any

Garrow, both their high school/junior and how they did in practice and in
the classroom as red shirts.
