Will bet anyone on here $100 bucks straight up that we oversign this class.

does anyone know what happens if you oversign? time to research

I believe if a player grey shirts they don't count against the limit for this year, Bama and Georgia seem to do it more often, like rollover minutes over and over again.

No, we can't oversign. But we can ask some guys to delay enrollment until January of 2014. They just won't be signed and therefore obligated to attend UK.

Okay, I believe we have a couple of guys who can count against last years class. Not trying to be smart because I'm not, just trying to interpret the new rules.

Greyshirting isnt allowed under the rule a kid may delay signing like Max Smith did but thats not greyshirting. He would sign an LOI with the next class instead of the current one

Thanks for clearing that up

TAMU has 34 commitments this year, how do they do it? Serious question, wish someone could explain this.

TAMU only signed 19 kids last year so that lets 6 guys be counted towards last years class. Theyll have 3 kids get offers pulled or not make grades and end up prep or JUCO

We can take over 25 commits anytime. Come signing day, only 25 guys can submit a LOI.

edit: or technically 23 on signing day with the two jucos already signing. Then Phillips is obviously a guarantee already being enrolled.

If we sign 25, which is fine, that will put us over the 85 max allowed by the NCAA, so, if we do, there will be some that won't return from last years team.. I thought Bodkin and Boynton were both no longer commited. Seems like I read that somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if one more of the current commits ends up going elsewhere, especially if they feel they're being recruited over at there position. No idea who that may be and no inside info, just a gut feeling.

We currently have 69 scholarship players on the roster, so, if we add 25, then we're at 94 players, meaning a total of 9 players either currently offered or already on the team, would have to go. This 69 doesn't include Harmon either. So, there's definately going to be some attrition that'll have to happen.. You figure 2 or 3 will likely be academic casualties and another 2-3 will likely opt to transfer, still leaving 3-5 players having to be told to look elsewhere. I don't like it, but, this is an unfortunate fact of life in the game of recruiting in a bigtime conference. Teams like Bama, Florida, Ga etc, routinely have to let some go and hurt some feelings. Just the way it is to make the numbers work. Some just happen to be more experienced at it than we are.

Phillips isn't as highly regarded as some other QBs we're looking at, but, the kid can play, has good size and arm strength and pretty good wheels. Max Smith wasn't as highly ranked as Phillips is and I think most would concur that Smith can play.. Plus, it seems our most recent 4 star QBs haven't exactly panned out like the hype would have indicated they would.
