WTF?!?

SEC's 25-cap rule not applying here? EE's / grayshirts / not expecting to sign everyone? Crazy big number. 17 players w/4* or more. Jeeeeeez.

OHHhhh, and BTW, 13 of the 4*+ are from in-state. Must be nice.

A&M is on a roll! Who wouldn't want to play for them? I'll bet they are hurting Texas' recruiting.

What happens when you become the "hot team" in college football. They took commits from kids, prior to the season, who they wouldn't take now that they can be selective. Expect them to trim soon.

No need to trim. They can keep em all, sec exemption since they just joined.

That makes me angry and I can only imagine how mad other SEC teams feel. What about Missouri, how many committs do they have?

Kevin Sumlin and his staff have used the recent tidal wave of positive momentum and turned it into recruiting victories off the field. As of today, the Aggies have a monster class of 34 commitments and a team ranking of seventh according to 247Sports.com. The good news for Aggies is that they're not done yet.


At first glance over a commitment list, it's easy to wonder how Texas A&M can sign all of these prospects. Specifically designed for Houston Nutt when he was at Ole Miss, the SEC has a rule that each school may only sign a maximum of 25 players in a recruiting cycle (February to May each year). However, there are a few caveats in the fine print. If a school signs under the limit, they can roll those spots back to the next class as long as they are used on "early enrollees". Early enrollees are players that graduate in December and can enrollee in school in January. By enrolling in Spring classes, they are able to sign in before the recruiting cycle opens in February.


Texas A&M for example, signed 19 players in their 2012 recruiting class. Six under the limit and four of those signed were early enrollees that were counted back to the 2011 class. That gives the Aggies a total of 10 scholarships in this class that they can assign to the previous class (2012).


Out of the Aggies' 34 commitments, eight (8) are early enrollees. That puts the 2013 counter at 26, or one (1) over the 25 max. That means come signing day, one of the current commitments cannot sign with the Aggies. It is no secret that a couple prospects are at risk to not qualify academically. If their grades don't improve as signing day nears, it's a safe bet that they don't sign a Letter Of Intent with A&M. With the way this staff is still beating the streets for elite prospects, it's clear their main focus is to continue upgrading the talent on this roster and worry about the numbers later.

I thought they can only back count up to 3?

They are exempted from the SEC limit this year. They can sign as many as they want as long as they stay under the NCAA 85 limit.

You'll dislike them soon enough if they keep signing classes like this. The SEC is now that much more difficult. I'm somewhat concerned about keeping up (not being in the state of Texas or Florida).

What does it say when they have 34 recruits and still aren't number 1 in recruiting

Smartest thing A&M ever did was leave the big 12 and the shadow of the Texas Longhorns. By joining the SEC they have elevated their brand name ahead of Texas. Watch as they continue to reap benefits from the move in their recruiting.
