I was merely giving a reason why Buffnik had chosen to not include him on the depth chart. That's it. The fact you could get something else from that conversation means I need to take a major step back on this website.

Lytle is a 2017 recruit. He is playing his senior year of high school this fall. He is not going to greyshirt. There is some hope that he would be able to enroll early since it would be great for him to be in the QB competition next spring, but we've had no word on that.
Regarding Pursell, did you hear something new? When he signed in February there was speculation that he could GS, but that seemed to come from fans and I never saw anything other than him reporting for fall camp this year. Did something come out today?
Chance Lytle
OK. But who said he is grayshirting? Same boat as Pursell. Chance was listed at 290 on signing day. Not sure why he'd need to greyshirt. I saw him up close and he's friggin' huge.
It was in the bottom of the captains article woelk did.

— MacIntyre said two members of the 2016 recruiting class will "grayshirt," meaning they will delay their enrollment until the spring 2017 semester and then have five years to play four seasons with the ability to still redshirt a year if desired. The two players who will grayshirt this year are offensive linemen Chance Lytle and Colby Pursell. Lytle is from San Antonio, Texas, and Pursell is from Valencia, Calif. http://www.cubuffs.com/news/2016/7/5/football-buffs-name-2016-team-captains.aspx
That's very interesting. Puts us 2 under right now, I think. Probably means a couple walk-ons are getting put on scholarship for their senior season. Bagby and Howard, maybe?
Interesting.
I like when OL greyshirt, the extra physical maturity can only help plus an extra spring training.
Giving a scholly or two to deserving WOs is a big deal as well. I am a big believer that a successful WO program makes a difference in winning games. Being able to point to individuals on your team who earned those schollies makes it a lot easier to recruit the next group.
We also might hope for (no information to back this up, just hoping) for a late pick-up, potentially a JUCO who could add some depth on the OL or DL.

Wasn't there a JC DB that was just waiting for an offer to commit if a space opened up?
*Update* It was Arthur Hayes I was thinking of. I wonder if he's still an option for one of the newly opened scholarships.

Lytle is not gray shirting. I'm not sure where you got that from. If anything, he could be an early enrollee.
Edit: my mistake. Different Lytle. Sorry. Carry on.
Chev and Shay Fields both follow. He'd miss this year and then be a junior in 2017... a class that's currently small and doesn't have much going on at WR for the Buffs (Walker & MacIntyre). This would be a nice addition, I think.

The roster has been updated to include the 2016 class

http://www.cubuffs.com/roster.aspx?roster=180&sort=class
Updated OP:
- All the commits for the 2017 roster added
- Henington and Baham removed from roster
Why can't he do both?
They'd could play both, but you really list them just once. I find the depth chart in this thread very useful when looking at our recruiting needs. My suggestions are just housekeeping items to keep it accurate. Julmisse looks like he'll be a DB, and I think Sparaco has been loving defense at IMG and will probably end up on the DL.
Gotcha, the only reason I brought that up is I'm seeing more of it the last few years. It's old school, I like it.
How many scholarships do we have available? Would love to add DT, DE, TE, CB & S.
This thread needs updating in the OP. I'll be able to get to this and your question in the next couple days.
Short answer: we have room & could sign as many as 30.

Really sounds like LT Irwin is coming back.

Let's hope. Maybe the top OL in the PAC-12 next season if he returns. That left side would be dominant.
I think the OL is in very good shape for a long run.
it already is nearly dominant. That's where we like to go in short yardage.
What a change from 4 to 5 years ago.
