You won’t be able to cut below 6 scholarship players. Once you’ve signed new players, you can cut more players, and get full resources for them (as long as you didn’t sign them). So basically, cut the worst one now to get to 6, then cut another guy for each one you sign as you go, as desired.
You might sometimes find yourself in a situation where you have more than 6 open scholarships, but you’ll never get more than the resources for the 6 scholarships. And when you sign players in that scenario, your remaining resources are adjusted for the new total based on your starting position, it doesn’t go back to 6. So it’s never good to put yourself in a situation where you’ll have more than 6 open if you can help it.
So for example, you might be ok with taking 3 walkons this season, cool. But if you also have 4 graduating seniors, that would put you in a bad position for the following season, with 7 open scholarships.
