Clearly, the issue at hand is that the teams in the SEC East are ethical, which is why they all suck now. :sneaky:

"These other coaches have been oversigning, trying to make sure they never come up short of that 85 number," Richt said earlier this month at a Georgia booster club speaking engagement in Greenville, S.C. "But in doing so, have they done it in an ethical way?

I think that "ethical oversigning" would be an oxymoron.

:biggrin:

1. I don't follow recruiting very well.
2. But I do know about the oversigning stuff that goes on. I understand that it is mostly in the SEC.
3. Now that Urban Meyer, an SEC coach for something like 6 years, is the head coach at Ohio State, will Ohio State be oversigning?

There was an article that showed the SEC signings over the past several years, and Florida, Georgia, and Vandy were the SEC schools that were not oversigning, so I don't see a reason that tOSU's recruiting should be expected to now follow the Alabama model.

Oversigning is one of the reasons Urban said he grew weary of the profession, so I can't see that happening.

In addition the Big Ten has strict rules about oversigning. They can only go over the 85 limit by 3 scholarships and then have to document to the Big Ten offices how they will get back down to the 85 limit.

So even if Urban WANTED to oversign, he would have a hard time doing so.

But like BB pointed out, Florida was one of the few SEC schools that did not oversign like their SEC bretheren. So it won't be an issue.

Those aren't NCAA rules? I know I'm late to the party (I should go back and read this thread bettererer), but how do other schools get around the 85 and 25 limits?

supposedly early enrollees don't count against that number. Most of the time you get 3-5 early enrollees so that gets you up to 28-30.

The Big Ten won't allow you to have more than 25 physical LOIs in the hands of recruits. IIRC we had to wait for Buster Davis to officially say no before we could send an LOI to Richard Washington. That ended up costing us Washington - and thus the 2002 NC.

Wait, I think I got that last part wrong ......

I thought they sent an LOI to Washington, but he ended up signing with NC State, and they had to wait to send the LOI to Buster, which pissed him off.

How has the NCAA not stepped in? It's [censored]ing ludicrous. If the 'tards down south can do it, why not everyone else, and vice versa. If no other conference can over-sign, no one else should be able to either. It has been long overdue that the NCAA needs to address this.

I'm curious to see how Saban does without signing 30+ players a year...

LSU out of room, student enrolls at Auburn
AUBURN, Alabama -- Four-star offensive lineman Patrick Miller enrolled in Auburn on Thursday after spending more than week in Baton Rouge with plans to honor his commitment and enroll at LSU.


Miller became the fourth member of Auburn's 2012 signing class to start classes this week.


Miller is a 6-foot-7, 260-pounder from Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He committed to LSU last September and announced plans to arrive in time for the spring semester. But he was told this week he'd have to pay his own way this spring because the Bengal Tigers were at their 85 scholarship limit.
