Do you have reading comprehension problems or just bickering for the sake of bickering? Seriously. "Oversigning" is signing more commits than you have scholarship for. We have 22 available now. If four more come open due to whatever reasons (NFL, transfer, dropout, etc.), then signing 26 would not be "oversigning" in this case...the staff will have procedures in place to make sure that no more than 25 of them count against the 2009 class (early enrollees, etc.).
My sole point in this entire cluster[censored] of a "discussion" is that I do not feel the staff will take 25 even if they can, and my reasoning for that is they'll want to bank a few for the 2010 class which as it stands right now will have 18 ships available. I'm 99% sure that Tressel or someone high up on the staff has mentioned, more than once, that they want to smooth out the yearly distribution of scholarships. With the potential "glut" of scholarships this class, they have the chance to do just that...take 22 or 23 this class and apply any additional ships gained by early departures/transfers to the 2010 class.
