No specific talk about the numbers game. Stated we would take the "takes" and figure out the numbers. We would need to take the guys that make us the best at all positions. Gavin Bryant and Treyvon Paulk would really be the only ones he could see that might leave for their individual reasons.

Dimarya Mixon adds depth

Adoree Jackson seems to be looking at us in a new light after a good visit.

Gaining momentum with Josh Malone. Butch told Josh that he is the number 1 priority

There is no reason to believe anyone won't be in this class. Stop mentioning recruits that could leave. They read this.

On topic though, no way we sign over 30. IF Butch had found a loophole like this he likely wouldn't have told a soul. He and Hart would probably be the only ones who knew they'd take more. He wouldn't risk this getting out at all.

May be wrong but I think he was quoting from a radio program today that put those names out there.

We could sign 100 players, but only 25 plus back counts can enroll next fall. Listen to bruin its initial counters that matter, not the number of signees.

We can take commitments from 100 players, but we can only sign 25 to LOIs by SEC rule. Outside the SEC 28 can be signed as of 2011. It's the Houston Nutt rule. Remember the year he signed 40 knowing many would not get in?

Is the financial aid separate from scholarships? In other words let some be on financial aid and others full scholarship.

Yes unless you are speaking of pell grants.

Any institutional money including academic money would be the same as an athletic scholarship

Not pell grants, just this new aid that a few have already signed. How much does this aid provide?

I was thinking that CBJ could get some on academic scholorships and TN lottery grants. They would be classed as "walk ons", but they wouldn't have to pay for school. They could get an athletic scholly, if needed, in year 2. Given that Cheek wants to "support" athletics then he might go along with it. BTW, the 25 limit is a SEC rule not a NCAA rule. The only rule that the NCAA has is the 85 rule, I believe.

There will be no loopholes. There will be no over signings. CBJ will sign the very best 30 recruits he can. He and staff will make the numbers work. I believe there are commitments who know that their status is "yes for now" and "we will re-evaluate when the time is right." There may be some unhappy, disappointed recruits, but the coaches are not misleading anyone at this point. The recruits know the situation. Let's face it, if Jackson commits and signs, some DB prospect knows his commitment may not be accepted. Same is true with Malone at WR and Garrett at LB. I still don't think we are done with OL and DL. The needs are just too much.

Even if there were some type of loophole that might be used, I doubt the program would want to chance crossing the NCAA at this point in time. They can make life very difficult for a program who they view as a problem. Look at how they went after Pearl. That was an assassination. 30 is the number with the max number of EEs possible. The 2014 class will have an amazing number of 1st year starters. This class will not get us over the hump, but it will do wonders.
