If the staff does not get the commits they are seeking, can we roll a few to the next class?? Do they allow that anymore? I would rather roll a few and get a bigger class with more potential stars next year, than taking guys to just fill slots.

We have to fill as many slots we can, then what we don’t get, I guess we could leave those spots open.

I'm seeing some good late offers, but how many of them are realistically going to sign?? I can see this class offering some guys that won't factor into the future plans just because they want to fill out the spots.

My hope is that all of them who sign show up hungry and ready to be coached up.

To answer your question, the answer is yes. You can back count to equal the numbers out to 25 per class.

Depends on how you define back count. Per the rules (15.5.6.3) you can only count against the current academic year or, for someone who receives aid after the fall term, against the following academic year.

So if you consider a mid-year enrollee (Jan of 18), they can "back count" against the current 17-18 academic year or count forward against the 18-19 academic year.

There's no way to count against a previous academic year (i.e. 16-17) even if there were unused slots.

Then any unused offers could be used for EE's next year? If that's the case then the unused offers technically can be rolled to the '19 class.

Thanks for the info.

That's my understanding of the rule. A mid year enrollee could count against the current academic year. So someone enrolling (actually it's technically getting aid for the first time) in January of '19 could count against the limit for the 2018-19 year just like the kids signing now.

Is there a max that we can roll over for EEs next year? Might be worth considering since we appear to be striking out with a lot of our top targets today.

Off topic, but I have that same shirt.

Obviously not true, just look at the number of signees for UGA, ND, OSU, Texas, and a hand full of others.

They'll have to lose someone

"• Football Bowl Subdivision schools are limited to signing 25 prospective and current student-athletes to a first-time financial aid agreement or a National Letter of Intent. Exceptions exclude current student-athletes who have been enrolled full-time at the school for at least two years and prospective or current student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury (effective for recruits who sign after Aug. 1, 2017)."

We will see. Probably counting those guys against future or old classes. If they signed a LOI already, they count. It doesn't matter if they are an academic casualty or not.

Just for reference, UGA has signed 26, 26, 23, 30, and 21 since 2014. I believe that is when the SEC implemented the 25 initial counter rule. They definitely had some of last year's class counting toward this one and still oversigned.

So they have 9 enrollees from early signing, and apparently about 17 others signed now, so that's 26. Not sure how it's possible to even accept a NLI if it exceeds the maximum allowed at this point with the new rule.

My understanding is 2018 is the first class with a firm 25 limit.
