Class Numbers discussion

It has NO EFFECT. He didn’t take up an initial counter...because he was a WALK ON.

So as long as we have never counted and still don’t count Solomon as one of our 2019 counters I agree.

Actually, I believe if you look at the previous classes, UT has not signed 25 in the last four classes, I don't know how many scholarship have been given to walk-ons, but I think the number is in the 30s.

2017 - 27
2018- 20
2019- 23

That leaves 5 more scholarships........so, we can sign 30, but we can't have more than 85 total?

Am I wrong in this assumption?

Go Vols!

We were already blueshirting just to get that many. Also consider transfers. Iirc we took 3 in 2018 and 2 in 2019. 2 more in 2020.

This guy

Kenney Solomon - Football - University of Tennessee Athletics

I never understood that, but the word at the time from mods was none of those guys (there were 3 of them) would be taking up an annual spot. I think the other 2 were Garland's brother and Montgomery.

That was a real headscratcher and no mods could ever explain that one. The wizard in compliance figured something out.

And Solomon is included in the class numbers that we have seen I think

Solomon definitely took a spot/scholarship. Transfers take up spots if they are on scholarship.

NLI is just one factor, signing scholarship papers is another. No way he came here as a walkon. Nor Gibbs.

He’s talking about Kenney.

Clear as mud. I’d like one name of a football walk on that had to give a scholarship back.

No I meant how they were put on scholarship that soon and not counted toward the annual numbers. General rule is only after 1 year. No mods could ever explain that one. But not going to question it, if they found that level of a loophole, my god.

I don't think blueshirting is the right word...

Fast tracking PWO’s to scholarships can only be a recruiting advantage.

Oops, sorry. I meant blupeshitting.
