Back in the day (the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s), he could have gone by the name David Caneddy and played another four years.

This was probably explained, feel free ignore if so, but they lose EJ, Castro and J. Rob next year, gain F and M Hughes, Randall, Dunn-Martin, and Weathers.  Plus Swingle, so net gain of 3 and no more scholarships for Freshmen?  Are Davis & Snyder walk-ons?

Per Verbal Commits today, Nick Washington is officially a "non-scholarship player," albeit one who was recruited. Which still leaves us with 14 scholarship players on the roster, one over the NCAA limit. There would be one scholarship available for next year, assuming Swingle signs, none if Washington is upgraded to scholarship. That assumes no transfers, never a safe assumption, even under the new coaching staff. As ED mentioned a few weeks ago, Tarin Smith should graduate next year and thus would be eligible to play somewhere else as a graduate transfer in 2018-19 if he so chooses.

Yes, that remains the mystery. Either Kratholm or Williams, neither of whom was heavily recruited, is non-scholarship, or one of the 5th year guys or transfer-ineligibles is paying his own way or getting another form of financial aid. 

Agree that's the most likely scenario. Every indication we've had is that all the new recruits and transfers are on scholarship, except Washington.
