As of 1/31/18 there are still 40 players on the roster which will eventually be dwindled down to 35 players. If I remember correctly, (someone correct me if need be) DVH has until the day before the first game to release the final 35 man roster.

My guess is that Murrell, Disher, Ramage, and Drake redshirt.  Kopps is out for season, so he can be removed.

The way DVH has talked, I think it is more likely that Vermillion redshirts before Ramage.

Jaxhog

Typically you keep about 18 pitchers on the 35 man roster.  We currently show 19.  Kopps is out for the season.  We have 3 others (Scroggins, McKinney and Milligan) coming back from injuries.  My guess is that the redshirts will more likely be on the hitters side.  Additionally, almost all of our proven pitchers are draft eligible this year.  I see a little balancing act of trying to get the young guys some innings to avoid losing them this summer (go JUCO). DVH has a really good problem on his hand which is at least 5 high caliber freshman pitchers.

In terms of freshmen RS, I could see McClain, Drake, Disher, and Ripp just based on DVH speaking more about the other freshmen and how they will compete for ABs this year.

If Kopps has already signed a scholarship for this semester, I think he has to be counted on the 35 man roster.

If I recall correctly from last year, McKinney got hurt after spring practice started but before the season began and he didn't count against the 35 man roster.

You are correct that he was not on the 35 man roster, but I have no idea where he stood on his scholarship.

Found this on a reliable source....Hogville. From 1/3/13.

It includes this post by Kevin:
The Effect of New Scholarship Rules in Division I Baseball
With the NCAA Division I baseball scholarship changes coming into full effect during the 2009-10 academic year, walk-ons will take on more important roles on baseball rosters.
Each Division I institution will be limited to 27 counters (athletes receiving an athletic scholarship) among their roster limit of 35 players, with the other 8 spots being occupied by walk-ons who will receive no athletic scholarship.
Division I rosters of no more than 35 players must be established the day prior to the first contest in February.  Coaches can have more than 35 players during the Fall and January practice periods, but must be at no more than 35 before the start of the season.
Walk-ons who are on teams that have more than 35 players participating in fall practice sessions must be aware that they are at increased risk of being cut from the team.   Once a player is cut from the team, he will not be able to use the athletic facilities to work out and will have no practice opportunities with the team.
A student-athlete who is receiving an athletic scholarship must be included in the counter limit of 27, and the total roster size of 35, even if they are injured and unable to play. So a walk-on who has been performing well during practice sessions must be aware that they may be cut from the team to make room for an injured player receiving a scholarship because the injured player must be counted among the 27 and 35.
Juniors at Division I programs who choose to return to school for their senior year may be asked to return as a walk-on as their scholarship was probably already "given away" in the recruitment of an incoming freshman.  This has already been the case for a number of years, but may become more common as the opportunity for coaches to give 5% or 10% scholarships to late signees is only available in rare situations.
Some baseball programs have established their own set of "rules" for distributing scholarships.  Some let recruits know up front that their scholarship will decline each year after their freshman year, while others may inform the players after their enrollment that there will not be a baseball scholarship for their senior year if they return.
Players and parents should be asking about the effect of the new financial aid rules on their baseball scholarship so they will know well in advance.
For those who are walk-ons, especially at programs that have more than 35 players participating in Fall drills, it will be extremely important to assess your chances of making the 35-man roster that will be in effect for the season.
For those who choose to transfer, it is quite possible that a fresh start at an NCAA Division II or NAIA program may result in increased opportunities for financial aid, for playing time, and for a better opportunity to be drafted due to the increased playing time.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will update it to 35 man roster soon.

A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S



The 40 man roster above has been adjusted (by drawing a line thru the 5 names that will not be on the 35 man roster).

Therefor we have our 35 man roster for 2018.
