Posted this in another thread, but I thought it might be worth it´s own as all the talk about EEs indicates there´s still some confusion regarding the numbers:
A few facts:
-after all seniors graduate we will have 70 remaining players on scholarship;
-colleges are allowed a max of 85 total players on scholarship;
-colleges are allowed to sign a max 25 players per cycle;
- if a team wants to bring in more than 25 for the following season, they can only do so by having them enroll early and counting them against the previous cycle. This is the situation when EEs become valuable/necessary;
- in 2011, we signed 20 players, but only 19 qualified (Antonio Kinard), allowing us to count 6 of our 32 2012 commits (we only signed 31, see below) as 2011 commits, thus maxing out both classes (2010 was also a full class, making it three in a row);
- the only non-qualifier out of the 2012 group was AJL, who will count against the 2013 total.
As the previous class was maxed out at 25 (Witt and Davis leaving after qualifying and enrolling does not retroactively open up a spot against the previous cycle´s 25, only against the 85 total), we cannot count anyone against the last cycle. Even if we could it would be irrelevant anyway, as EEs do not help us numbers-wise at all this year because we are not trying to exceed the limit of 25 schollies per cycle. Which is why the staff is not pushing for EEs, btw. We are, however, currently up against the 85 limit. Although I think we´d all be shocked if there were no further attrition.
The big question is not whether there will be room for more than 15 or not, but rather whether the staff wants to self impose scholly reductions and keep on grovelling on their knees in front of the NaziAA. I personally would say fvck´em, purge the deadwood off the roster and fill it up with as many studs as you can.
