I don't when that changed because before the defections started, Paul kept saying we were going to sign the full 28. It doesn't make losing a guy in a position of need any easier.
Paulgot wordthat Mackey, Whitehead, etc. would not be likely to sign withMSU so he was preparing us early as far as what to expect numbers-wise. It's just a guess. I suppose I might ask him that on BDJ later today-- if someone else doesn't do that.
