Over signing rule ?

  • aubie25 said...

    Like this entire thread isnt basically a flame. You have a few idiots ranting on about the SEC oversigning, but they just ignore how teams in their own conference do the same thing Big 10 fans want to get on their soapbox about not oversigning. How dare me pointing out they do things a lot worse

    Exactly. Riddle us this Big 10.

    From '09-12 (four recruiting classes) the following teams signed:

    Michigan = 94 (have 22 committed this year and still recruiting)
    OSU = 92 (19 committed and Urban still recruiting)
    Illinois = 90 (have 27 committed this year already)
    Minnesota = 96 (have 13 committed this year so far)
    Indiana = 93 (Have 19 committed)

    Where are all these players going? Don't see too many Hoosiers and Gophers getting pumped into the NFL early. Very mysterious.

    The cross comparison is "more... many times by 10 or more"

    Done.

    Oh, so it's only relevant if you sign 10 more, not 9.

  • Wowwww, don't bunch us all together... There are people who see it and see it as part of the game (as I do)... Then the people who bitch about it because the B1G doesn't allow teams to do it... But guess what? It doesn't matter... Those are the rules and that's all there is to it.

    Pissing Michigan fans off since 1987!

    Ok, so how about this... they have 88 kids on the roster, 17 seniors/graduated, and 34 commits, so what does that equal? 105.... so they have to cut 20 people (not counting the juniors who go pro, and potential drop outs/transfer)

    LIKE I SAID, I'm not hating on them... they FOUND A LOOP HOLE! and I would do the exact same thing if I was them.

    88 kids on the ROSTER.. Exactly, not on schollarship. NO team in the SEC or anywhere in the

    country has more than 85 players on schollarship. You guys just look at the #s and dont do the

    rest of your research

    Yet Michigan signed 118 kids during this time, which is 33 kids over the 85 scholarship limit. Ohio State signed 113 kids during this time, which is 28 kids over the 85 scholarship limit. What happened to all of those extra kids?

    Those #'s are from 5 years not 4, yet they still pale in comparison to the 140 level Auburn & Alabama reached.

    Define "suspended then transferred", "other", and "did not qualify"

    Suspended then transferred is Sabanbonics for getting crunched by the numbers.

    Nice try, but complete fail.

    USC has had almost as much roster turnover (transfers/DNQ) as Bama, so I wouldn't throw stones. Not counting Bama's players leaving early for the NFL, our roster turnover from the past four years is 20%, while 18% at USC. Just because SC doesn't sign as many, doesn't mean there isn't much roster turnover.

    It looks like it's mostly a Southern thing

    Players Signed 2008-2012 (The last 5 Years) ---------------------------------------------------------- Alabama 146/139 depending on the source Ole Miss 142 Arkansas 139 Auburn 134 South Carolina 132 Oklahoma St 132 Miss State 130 Florida St 126 Kentucky 126 Louisville 125 Kansas St 124 Washington 124 LSU 123 North Carolina 121 ================= Above 120 is quite a bit for 5 years considering that an avg of 21 puts you at 84 over 4 years, so over 5 years it would put you at 105 players (Add in the the usual attrition of a few each year and teams that stayed under 120 probably didn't over sign much)

    Arizona St 120 Michigan 118 Arizona 118 Texas A&M 117 Tennessee 116 Oklahoma 116 Oregon 116 UCLA 116 Ohio St 113 Clemson 110 Oregon St 110 Georgia 108 Missouri 108 Florida 107 Notre Dame 104 Stanford 103 USC 101 Texas (somewhere around the 100-110 range but I don't have their numbers right now)

    where did you get these majical numbers ? some publicatons NSD list of L.O.I.'s i assume.
    am i right ? i'll go ahead and laugh now before you respond ...with a yes lollollol

    From 2009-'12 recruiting classes, Bama has signed 103.

    2009: (Signed 28) Transfers (6) - Bowman, Marrow, Moore (transferred for Texas), Sentimore (suspended then transferred), P. Smith, Woodson NFL (3) - Carpenter, Dre K, T. Rich Medical (2) - K. Kelly, McKeller

    2010: (Signed 26) Failed to Qual (3) - Belue, Dial, A. Hill Transfers (4) - Carswell (suspended then transferred), C. Grant, Malone(suspended then transferred), P, Sims (Transferred to UVA) Grad/Other (2) - B. Lewis, J. Williams (baseball) NFL (1) - Menzie

    2011: (Signed 23) D. Carter (kicked off/transferred), Douglas (RIP)

    2012: (Signed 26) Dixon (transferred), B. Hill (JUCO)

    Out of the 103 signed, 25 are no longer on the team bringing the total to 78.

    We have seven guys that are fifth year SR's from the '08 class, bringing our total to 85.

    The tears on this board are so sweet.

    facts...well done.
    i crack up when idiots try to scream "oversigning" & they dont have a clue how the 25 / 85 rule even works, its free comedy.

    a little food for thought...
    *when EVERY team must be within the 25/85 guidelines at ALL times it makes the term "oversigning" mathematically impossible from the start
    *then they drivel NSD L.O.I. numbers over x amount of years
    - and havent a clue that NSD #'s do not in any fashion reflect the # of kids in the class that actually enrolled on a scholarship.

    sounds eerily similar to the occupy quacks

    Are you an honest to god idiot or are you just funning us? Most schools have a huge number of juniors and seniors that have never started and may never see the field in a meaningful way. Every one of them counts against the 85 player limit. Texas was always that way. So instead of taking 25-28 players they take 15. At Alabama every single one of them would have been forced to transfer, taken a medical redshirt, etc. It has meant that they have gotten the equivalent of an extra recruiting class every 3 to 4 years. The 25/85 rule does nothing to stop this. It doesn't apply at all times. It applies at the start of fall practices. have noticed more turnover of players at Texas in the last 2 years. Bad luck? Or an infusion of SEC coaches?

    You should guarantee the scholarship for 4 years where a school simply can't cut the kids who aren't getting it done on the field. You also shouldn't be able to sign 35 guys knowing that some won't make it. I have no problem with "back signing" or greyshirting, but signing too many kids and then telling some that there wasn't enough room WAY after signing day is BS.

    Name a kid who signed and couldn't enroll besides the 1 from LSU like 3 years ago.

    Also, go make academic scholarships 4 years regardless of performance while you're at it.

    Academic scholarships are objective based, athletic scholarships are not.

    I'm pretty sure athletic scholarships have some strings attached. A kid can't just come in and not try in class or practice.

    Bama has "forced" several out

    Brandon Moore - starter/2deep at Texas ring a bell ?
    Darrington Sentimore - sarter at Tennessee
    Dez Hood (AJ's fav prep target)- forced to sign a big $ deal w/ MLB.
    Zo Lawrence the only player not named Patrick Peterson that i ever seen cover Julio Jones 1 on 1 (repeated team violations)
    Corey Smith- starter WVU

    i would call this culling the dead wait lol

    sounds like you just pin pointed Mack Brown's shortfall, poor recruiting.
    how else could a team have a plethora of upperclassmen that will never see the field ?

    which brings me back full circle to Nick Saban running off all of his juniors & forcing them to declare for the NFL Draft
    a few med-hardships (due to big boys playing big boy football) , a few transfers "washed out" that start elsewhere, and a few NFL early entries.
