How Many Recruits Can We Sign?

[MoeVol]

I've been looking all over this forum for the number of recruits we can sign and haven't found an exact number yet. Someone help me out. Thanks!

I thought the SEC schools can only sign 24?

25 but I think we can count two towards last yr or something.

25 plus back counters.

We signed 23 last year so we get 2 more this year.

This is my understanding of a complicate rule.

How does Tx A&M have 30 or more?

SEC exemption

You can only have 85 on scholarship. I thought it was 25 per year max, but apparently if you signed less the year before you can back count (???) It is a shame that so many guys don't pan out.

They can have more people committed but they're going to have to only stick to 24... could open some doors

Who is our best shot at RB? It looks like Green is leaning Michigan.

I'm somewhat sure Early Entries can back count.

You can only have 85 on roster.

He just stated in the Army game that he will take his official to Tn. and get to know the staff before he makes a decision.:yes:

He already has made an official to TN during the Fla game. He has to come back on his own dime. That might be a positive.

That's not accurate. They'll sign 34 this year.

I believe they were give an exemption along with Miz. for this year.

 

[Coastypop]

That's not accurate. They'll sign 34 this year.

how can they do that? I am not questioning you, I am asking what rule allows this many??

 

[Coastypop]

I believe they were give an exemption along with Miz. for this year.

I thought the 25/85 rule was an NCAA rule... not an SEC?????

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Exemption was granted to Missouri and aTm for this year. They are back counting because they signed a small class last year. They are still held to the 85 rule though.

Takes effect next year I believe.

 

[Coastypop]

Takes effect next year I believe.

Thanks :hi:

I believe this to be true:
1. All schools must limit their total football roster to 85 per NCAA.
2. In the SEC, schools are limited to 25 players that can be enrolled each year, but they cannot go over the 85 limit.
3. Each school is allowed up to 3 back counts from the year before if they did not enroll 25 players from the year before. They number of back counts allowed depends on the number enrolled below 25.
4. The SEC gave Missouri and Texas A & M a one year exception on the 25 limit. They still are limited by the 85 total rule.

Please correct me if I am wrong on any point. Thanks!

So we can sign a total of 80 stars?
