BTW we may not even get 28 in this class ,we could oversign due to some guys that have grade problems.

I'm pretty sure you can't sign more than 28 regardless of who qualifies under the new SEC rule.

I'll make just 3 changes to the original list:

I think the best thing we could do (besides landing Bray) is to land at least 3 out of Stone, Robinson, Kouandjio, and Leifheit

I am guessing you got this idea from the Scout article. I would be ECSTATIC if we get the players they mention in there. I dont know our next 12.....but I feel very confident in saying our next commit will be Cobbs.....and most likely before the season starts.

If this is indeed the case, then implementing this new rule and starting with the 2010 recruiting class absolutely screws UT. MSU, Ole Miss, Alabama...many other SEC schools, have WAY oversigned, with 2009 being pretty blatant. UT has had two small recruiting classes in a row...and if we can't "back count" schollies to the previous year, at the very least, rebuilding this program will be that much more difficult.

If we limit 2010 to 28 players...lets say we end up with 21 in school and contributing one year after they sign. How does UT ever get back to a solid 85 man roster with adequate depth to complete with the big boys? I know 28 is the limit...but is it in any way tied to how many open scholarships a team has? If UT has 35 openings for 2010, who is Mike Slive to say 7 kids cannot have a scholarship to UT, when the NCAA limit is 85 players and the rest of the league/country(?) will be fully "staffed"?

New limit is 25 schollies per year, regardless of how many SR's graduated or players left early the previous year, I believe....could be wrong. You have Houston Nutt to thank for this by over signing like crazy in his first Ole Miss class this year.

I like the list, a couple more OL would be good though.

Prater will end up elsewhere IMO.

EDIT: Nevermind about the OL, the list in the OP looks good.

You can bring in 25 players per year. This has been the NCAA rule for years and continues to be the rule. If UT has 35 openings they could only bring in 25 players in a given year. The only difference is now you can only sign 28 players per year. This prevents the teams from signing loads of guys that won't qualify. Teams usually have a pretty good idea of who will qualify and who won't. In fact, they have to know this when they oversign otherwise they risk running out of scholarship spots. So it really doesn't have much of an impact.

I do think there's some wiggle room on the 25 players since the Spring enrollees back count towards the prior year. I think UT brought in 18 or 19 players last year that were not spring enrollees so they should have 6 or 7 left on top of the 25 players they can bring in for next year. But I'm pretty sure spring enrollees still count towards this year's signing limit, which means they'll bump into the 28 man limit.

I think if UT signs 28 guys and they all qualify they'll be slightly over the 85 man limit anyway barring some attrition.

I've been hearing that the 28 max. only applies to Feb. In this scenario, if UT had 79 scholarship players in the 2009 season...

-6 players can be signed as early enrollees and counted towards the 2009 academic year.

-28 players can be signed in Feb. However, only 25 counted towards the 2010 academic year. The other 3 would have to walk-on, gray-shirt, etc.

I would like to see some definitive information on the SEC's new max. rule. I don't suspect that UT will sign such a large class. But it would be nice to know their limits.

I would rather have Demar Dorsey decommit from UF for Gran, but Monte and Gran are after the kid so his commitment seems likely. This also should tell us that thinks are looking unlikely with Riggs, and Thompson cannot pull Milliner away from Bammers and Lamarcus Joyner is going to FSU...All that to say, you are probably right about Payne, but I wish we had one of the last two guys coming.

I agree on Shirley and Riley and think we will get at least one of Ronald Powell (Cregg and Ed O on him and "insiders" who have been wrong lots on this board say we have no chance and he is a USC or UF lock but they do not know that) or George Uko. We beat out Pac 10 schools for lots of top talent after we throttle UCLA.

Leifheit would be a December enrollee. Wish I could tell you all the others but I do not have them.

1. Demarco Cobbs - WR
2. Tyler Bray - QB
3. Zac Tait - OL
4. Jawuan James - OL (Bama Commit)
5. Ladarius Owens - LB
6. Kelcey Quarles - DL (USCjr Commit)
7. Chaz Green - OL
8. Kyle Prater - WR (USC Commit - or will be)
9. Corey Cooper - S (Ill. Commit)
10. Giovanni Bernard - RB
11. Josh Shirley - LB
12. John Cullen - OL - Juco

It is almost impossible to do this. I am sure there are names we haven't heard much about that will end up signing here just as I am sure some we have now will not. I think this staff is great at getting some last minute suprises. I think Quarles will be a signing day suprise. I think we have a decent chance at both Prater and Cooper. But it is just a guess.
