No, no, your premise is not wrong. That said, from a recruit's perspective, they look at who else is in the class and that includes early enrollees. They also look at who was in last year's class. So, class size can be self-regulating.
By way of example, when we knew we had lost on Agholor, we offered Andrades. Had we simply been going for quantity, we could have offered Andrades weeks ago. A couple other factors. We have the #1 high school QB as a sophomore and another sophomore who is playing as well or better. We were not going to snag a high profile QB. There were only 2 top RBs in the top 25 RBs nationwide that were from Florida. We got one of them. Where we seem to have stubbed our toe is in the area of OL. We seem to have room at the position and didn't sign a whole lot unless one of the DLs is being considered for a position switch. -Zeb On Feb 2, 2012, at 7:14 AM, Charles Simpson wrote: > My understanding is the 6 EE's were counted against last years class which > was also small.
