From what I've read on other websites, Meyer said he was looking to bring in about 27 -- but they'd make room for more if necessary. ie: withdraw schollies to existing players. I don't know if this is a regular practice for Florida, but it seems to be for other SEC schools.
# of toal commitments in 4 and 5 year periods. (2002-2006) The first number represents the most # of recruits brought in during a 4-year period. The 2nd represents the number of recruits brought in for the 5 years (02-06)
Tennessee: 98 120
Georgia: 94 122
Auburn: 107 132
SC: 111 135
LSU: 95 120
Miss St: 107 131
Florida: 94 117
Arky: 105 125
Ole Miss: 104 122
Vanderbilt: 91 113
Kentucky: 104 120
For comparison.... 4 and 5 year totals for some B10 schools.
tOSU 85 105
psu 79 101
ttun 84 103
Obviously attrition is a part of SEC life, and the numbers across the board would suggest by design. It takes 5 years for top B10 schools to offer the number of new schollies that takes just 4 years for SEC schools. Even if the SEC didn't redshirt a single kid, they'd have to drop 10-20 kids' scholarships a year.
