There were no limits on how many you can sign, only how many you can put/have on scholarship at a given time.
What some of these schools were doing was signing a lot of borderline academic types - sort of like throwing a lot of "stuff" against the wall to see if any of it sticks. Typically there were enough non-qualifiers in the bunch that the schools wouldn't exceed the limit of 25 new schollies, and if any of the non-qualified players ended up eventually qualifying after prep school, JUCO, etc. they might still have "love" for the program that "had faith" in them originally. Provided of course that that program still wanted them. --- On Sun, 6/7/09, ke...@baldwinnc.com <ke...@baldwinnc.com> wrote: From: ke...@baldwinnc.com <ke...@baldwinnc.com> Subject: [gatortalk] question about recruiting 30+ players in one year To: "gatortalk googlegroups" <Gatortalk@googlegroups.com> Date: Sunday, June 7, 2009, 6:29 PM I heard the SEC wants to impose a limit on how many kids a school can sign to scholarships. Normally a school can sign 25 max per year, but if the kids enroll in January - I think those students count towards the previous year. But Ole Miss sign 37 kids this year and only 1 early enrollee Arkansas signed 31 and 2 are enrolled early. How did they do this? Last year Alabama signed 32 - Miami signed 33 FSU signed 30 Minnesota signed 30 Virginia Tech signed 31 Auburn signed 29 etc .... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
