Maybe you are joking but we can continue to to 25 year in year out because we can gray shirt 3 more players every year if we would like.

Dead serious. We didn’t grayshirt one single player last season...Lawless turned it down. We used blueshirts on a non officially recruited high school player (Davis), a JUCO (George) and a graduate transfer (Kennedy). We can’t get all the players we’re wanting via either route. We’re officially recruiting everybody and they’re way too desired by other programs to wait until the following January to enroll. We had 23 spots last year due to Shaq Wiggins (grad transfer) and Princeton Fant (blueshirt) and it played out as 23 signees in the 2018 class. Credit card recruiting requires you pay the bill eventually.

Blue/gray whatever it is. Point is we will take 25 this year and i bet we wont have all 4 and 5*s. But players that want to be here will take them.

It will sort it's way out. Always does every year. Like Swan said, we lose some we thought we'd get. It's happened to us every year that I've followed recruiting from Cadillac Williams to Jordan.

Relax you will all know on NLI day how we got 25. Until then just speculation and assumptions.

Haha. Here in eastern NM we have had over 6 inches of rain in July, after no rain at all through June. Trees & grass turning green finally.

Was stationed in Albuquerque 3 years. Green wasn’t a big thing, but remember Summertime as much more tolerable than here.

Are we taking 25 this year or are transfers like Kennedy being counted towards that number?

You don't ask them. You ask the bottom of the class with fewer options

Then they’ll find them. Alabama is the type of program that can get a high 4 star to grayshirt...and they don’t have a glut of them. Pruitt’s a great recruiter and has surrounded himself with great recruiting minds and strategists. Eventually he’s going to take the hit of a 21 man class. Clemson has BEFORE the NCAA locked down on the options that Butch used to put us behind in the first place.

Why do you guys care about the numbers???

The class will be what it is.

And it will be awesome.

We didn't come here to play math.

We’re speculating on how many names we can add to the class...numbers are unavoidable. Do we want Taulia if it costs us a spot for a DL that we need? Things like that. “Why didn’t we save a spot for ____?” Don’t think that’s gonna pop up when we’re celebrating our final signees?
