Do you think Henry is on top of the board? Do you think that everyone who is currently committed will sign? Who else are you going after?

Yes, To'oto'o is a top priority. Last night, Tim Watts (BOL) said Bama is "in a very good spot" with him. It looks like the plan is this:

24 early signees + 5 more on NSD:
(1) RB - Robinson (commit)
(2) DL - Young (commit)
(3) DL - Pickering, Sopsher, Fuller or Sorrells
(4) LB - Bogle (commit)
(5) LB - To'oto'o
29 Total

I don't think so. I think Williams just lost his spot by not signing early. All along since he committed, he's said he plans to take visits and didn't plan to sign early. So, Bama recruited it's other DB targets and signed five who wanted to sign in Dec. Tim Watts said yesterday after Banks announced at the AA game (he actually signed in Dec) that Williams is not expected to sign with Bama.

Why do you post here on a Vols site? Is there not a website you can spend your time speaking with like-minded people? If we wanted to know what Alabama recruiting analyst has to say, we could start making a pest of ourselves and go visit that site from which you are bringing your information. We could do that but we aren't really that interested. just like I'm not very interested in what you have to say. But I guess we are just going to have to let you stay here because you are not really breaking any rules and we are forced to entertain a guy who is determined to make a pest of himself.

2019's 25 spots + 2 unused 2018 spots + 2 replacements under the voluntary withdrawal exception rule that don't count against annual limits. 25 + 2 + 2 = 29.

@Tidal Surge Didn't you originally post that Davis hadn't signed an NLI, so that's where the 4 extra slots came from since you all had 21 enrollees last year?

What is the "voluntary withdrawal exception" bylaw? 15.3 is just for getting an overall counter back.

Tidal Surge is going off of what he is projecting numbers to be. Bama also has a numbers problem with actual scholarship limit at 85. If they do not have enough players leave early they are going to be screwed on the 85 limit. Only 15 of their 20 seniors leaving are on scholarship. To sign 29 they have to find 14 more to leave either through the draft and or attrition. Bama very well could be put in the position of having to ask players to blue shirt to stay under 85. That 25 number or 29 number mean nothing if they can't stay under 85. Most of your top prospects are not going to blue shirt.

Bama has 24 scholarship players who already have their degrees and more will graduate in May.

Meh, probably just see a lot of "medical scholarships" and transfers. Same as here.

States you can replace the counter, not an initial counter. And nothing of replacing a signee spot. Seems this is just for the 85 limit.

But I don't doubt the 29 limit. BoL is saying the same.

It's an exception for not counting against the annual 25 limits -- similar to the exception for giving a scholarship to a walkon who's been on the team for two years. For both of those exceptions, the new scholarship only counts toward the 85 total counters limit. If it's simply stating that the replacement scholarship counts against the 85 limit as you say it "seems" to be, then no exception is being made and it wouldn't even need to exist in the Bylaws.

Just put him/her on ignore. That should solve your concerns. Some people may like to see what the enemy is thinking. I usually don't read what he/she is saying because he/she doesn't know anything that most of us already know.

Your bylaw 1) never states it is for an initial award and 2) is for students having not received aid and been in school for 1 academic year (2 semesters). This is the new definition of a walk-on not counting as an IC, no longer 2 years, and is already covered under 15.5.6.3.5.

If you could get ICs from the previous year back, 1) you'd see that badly abused, except that 2) it still doesn't get around signees limits anyway.
