Biggest class?

Postby GeorgiaMustang » Tue Feb 05, 2008 7:19 pm

Assuming there aren't in hitches tommorow, will this class end up being one of our largest in a while?

I'm never sure when they start counting the mid term players. If for example SMU signed only 22 last year then technically Robieskie and Odiari could count on last years numbers-but I thought with at least a couple of post signing date recruits we signed a full 25 last year. But maybe you can add them to last years group if players are not on scholarship at mid-term. For example, Givens maybe gone and bet there are others. I understand the concept but not exactly sure of the key date for "back dating" mid term signees. So maybe we could go to 27. Plus some of these kids are poster child's for grayshirting so that they might not enroll until Jan 2009 and so could be counted on next years numbers. There's always some wiggle room.

How many seniors did we graduate?

The attrition losses would be Strodtman, Leonard and Givens? Any others that we know of.

According to that list, we have 26 commitments. That's not including Robieskie and Odiari.

So there are some things that aren't accounted for, I guess.

I believe we graduated 15 but I do not know if we were at the scholarship limit last year. It is hard to count the roster because you do not know if everyone was on scholarship. A moving target.

From what I understand mid-term signings can count against the previous years class if the 2006 class undersigned and there are under 85 people on scholie going into the start of class.

So if Givens didn't return to class this spring, there is a spot open provided that we undersigned last year

OK since we signed only 16 in 2006, Rock Dennis almost certainly was included for the 2006 class meaning

22 signed on Signing Date(Feb 2007)
+ Shankle
+ Elizee
- Bradley
=23

Giving us the ability to sign 27 if you include Robieske and Odiari for 2007. Plus we could sign more than 27 with any greyshirts. But is Odiari even enrolled yet?
