My thinking is that everyone is just guessing at this point. The coaches know who is going pro, and probably have a good idea of who is going to transition out of the program, the rest of us are just guessing at how many ships are available.
It really doesn't matter how many we count back to last year, as next year we won't be able to sign the full 25 anyway. I think the author of the article is thinking we can only sign the SEC maximum of 28 regardless of which class they count towards and so we would only have to count 3 of them back to last year. It seems from several sources, that you can only sign 28 max due to the new SEC rule, and that is a shame. In a few years, you will find the SEC at a competitive disadvantage to other conferences unless this is changed.

Then, give me 3 laps around the Swamp. :-) Even though national signing day is still three weeks away, almost half of Florida's 2010 recruiting class is already in school.

And the Gators are expected to sign the SEC maximum of 28 players on national signing day (Feb. 3). Of the 24 high school prospects who have committed to the Gators, 11 are enrolled in classes and will participate in spring practice. The latest early enrollees include three of the five UF commitments who played in Saturday's Army All-American Game in San Antonio - cornerback Jaylen Watkins and West Palm Beach Dwyer teammates Matt Elam (safety) and Gerald Christian (tight end). Elam is one of the three five-star prospects who announced for Florida during Saturday's game. The others were defensive tackle Shariff Floyd and defensive end Ronald Powell. UF's other early enrollees are defensive end Neiron Ball, quarterback Trey Burton, wide receiver Robert Clark (another Dwyer teammate of Elam and Christian), defensive back Jordan Haden, defensive lineman Leon Orr, wide receiver Solomon Patton, defensive back Joshua Shaw and offensive lineman Ian Silberman. With UF losing so many impact players (including a handful of underclassmen to the NFL), the early enrollees will have a chance to compete for immediate playing time this spring. All rights reserved.
