Q: A few weeks from now you have an earlier signing day. Has it changed the way you do things?
SWINNEY: "No, it hasn't. I think it's great because it cleans some things up and you can go ahead and get your class signed. We don't really have a lot of spots open on our roster. We like the group that we have. You may have some guys leave and you can see who's back. The only guys slated to leave on defense are Payton, RJ and Barrett. Offensively, it's Tate, Mafah and Briningstool. Aidan Swanson has to go. So we don't have a lot of spots. It cleans things up so you can address your future and then you can move forward. I'm glad that they left some time in the spring (portal). Roster-wise, we like our guys."
Q: What's a number you're chasing for this recruiting class?
SWINNEY: "It's fluid. We're over the spots that we have right now. We feel great about our roster and the guys who will be back with the development we have seen. We like the class that we're getting ready to put together. They're coming in here and will fill some spots as well."
Only 16 teams with fewer commits than us in all of FBS. We just really can't get out of our own way with roster management - it's brutal
