I see Bama is at the 25 man limit. Is that good news on the Conliffe front since I thought I saw it was down to PSU and Bama for his services?
Recruiting
- Thread starter Ian
- Start date
LOL...good one. BTW...I think Bama has something like 14 EE's this year or some crazy number like that. 25 man limit. That was really good.
Oh, that's right. SEC signs 28 with 3-5 not qualifying. Does any other conference sanction this practice?
not necessarily ! 'Bama and other SEC schools have been known to take over the limit in case of non-qualifiers. Or, as also done in the past, they may revoke an offer from a lower rated kid to get Conliffe. In example, Tom Fletcher is a 2* Athlete from IMG whose claim to fame comes as a long snapper. He is one of Alabama's commits who may be asked to "enroll as an invited walk-on".
The only limit that really matters in the SEC is 85 on opening day. Kids have been told they are gray shirting the day before summer camp starts.
It's a privilege to play in the SEC, apparently. These kids all know what they are getting involved in, from Day One. If it happens to them next, so be it. Pull up your Big Boy pants, and get on with it.
What happens in the SEC, stays in the SEC.
What happens in the SEC, stays in the SEC.
Once you recruit a player as a scholarship athlete, you can't switch him to an invited walk on. I don't know what the defenitiin of recruit is, but probobly involves a written scholarship offer.
Check out all the schools with more than 25 recruits from 2015. Many of them are $EC schools including South Carolina with 38 ... count em ... 38 recruits.

Everybody processin now. 'cept us.
But hey, "Culture problem"/
Here is a pretty good article about how Texas A&M was able to have 34 recruits back in 2013. Explains the loopholes fairly well.

They basically gray shirted everyone and early enrolled everyone. Then, of course, I think 4 of them couldn't get in. They are working the system, and of course the NCAA turns a blind eye.
What they did NOT mention, was just how many players from that team were processed, the next summer. Of course they didn't mention that.
