It doesn't matter when they enroll, really. All that matters is the 85 scholarship limit; if they go over that, other guys need to leave the program.
I'd like to see them take more than 25, if possible. The amount of talent they're in on at this point is ridiculous! I just don't know how they can possibly fit everyone, and meet the quota's they seem to have for a few positions. They want a qb, although no names have really popped up thus far. They want 2 tight ends. 4 Olineman. 3-4 receivers. 2 more RB's. 4-5 Dlineman. Possibly 6 db's.
Someone's gonna get left out...just not sure who. |

Actually it does. There are two conditions here that must be met: 1) we can only have 85 players on scholarship at any given time and 2) we cannot take more than 25 players in any one class. If we do want to sign say, 27 players in one class, then 2 players have to enroll early and will then count against the 25 limit for the previous class, and still count against the 85 limit total.

Doesn't the Big 11 allow teams to over-sign by two, or something like that? |

So just a hypothetical question:
Assuming we are looking at taking 4 wide reciever prospects in this class, with Fields and Jackson already being two. If all 5 of Duron Carter, Marlon Brown, Shaquelle Evans, Andre Debose, and Jheranie Boyd want to come and we only have two spots, who do we take? Whoever comes first, or does any one of these guys stand out above the others? Do we guarantee a spot for Carter and the other four fight it out for the last schollie? And where does that leave Kraig Appleton?

I understand it is a hypothetical, but if all those guys want to come I would take Boyd and Debose...Both are just explosive...
Evans and Brown are very good as well, and bring more of the big type receiver to go up and get balls, but Boyd and Debose, can make plays all over the field...
BTW throw in Rueban Randle and Logan Heastie and we are talking about the top 6 WR's nationally...
Just one would be great...

They might send out more than 25 LOIs on signing day as do many of the SEC schools but they get only take 25 in that class. As was stated earlier, it is an NCAA rule that you can only take 25 per class with an 85 limit. When you send out more "letters" than 25 the school is sort of hedging its bets is that a couple of those guys will probably not many grades.

Isn't Heastie going to WVU? Or were you being sarcastic?

He was saying that Reuben Randle and Heastie are two of the top 5-6 WRs in the country...it had nothing to do with OSU being in the picture. It was more a testament to the fact that OSU is in on 4 of the top 5-6 WRs (in cbf40's opinion) in the entire nation in Brown, Evans, Debose and Boyd. Add Randle and Heasite to that list with those four and cbf40 is saying that is the top 5-6 WRs in the whole country. |
