The Blue Board

Taylor Hamm wrote about it, I'll look and see if I can find it. They honored our small classes from the past two years, and we are allowed to take more than usual. The amount that are coming in at midterm has something to do with it also.

I know about the counting back just didn't know y'all were able to count back more than before last year. I also know that all the guys counted back have to be ee. As i have said i just hope y'all don't take tommy sanders lol

Come on guys. You two are supposed to have each other on ignore cause you can't get along. Its for your own good. Don't take this too far. Its a warning

So then you should know that we pulled it because didn't do what he was supposed to, not because we were replacing him with a higher recruit.

dont see how we have room for stevens after we get RSJ

dont think we get mitchell, tho i think we are slowing down at LB because i suspect we get isaac savaiinaea and might push for sanders for midterm

think were pushing hard for Mackensie Alexander, he seems to like us a lot but he is all over the place. Well bring in Shaq Wiggins in Feb for an official.

Well you gotta look at it like this. If they expected him to be a an ee and he didn't get his grades you can't blame them for dropping him. All the guys they are counting back have to be ee. They ban only sign 25 in February. The rest have to be there early

What school wouldn't do that?

The SEC changed the rule for every team. A&M is operating under the same rules as all the other SEC teams with regard to recruiting.
A team that did not sign a full class of 25 in a recruiting year is allowed to fill those unused spots in the following recruiting class with EEs. A team is only allowed to count back spots for the past year's recruiting class, not classes from 2, 3 or 4 years prior.

Each team still only has 85 scholarships so no matter the size of a recruiting class only 85 spots are available.

Since A&M only signed 19 players last recruiting class they can enroll 6 kids early and count them towards the 2012 class and still have 25 spots available for the 2013 class. A&M has 76 players currently on scholarship, 16 of which are seniors. That means there needs to be some attrition and/or kids who don't qualify because 7 out of the 2013 class don't currently have scholarship spots available.

That is not correct.

What exactly do you feel is incorrect? I believe both starting tackles are expected to leave for the draft so that will open up two more spots. Are there other juniors expected to leave early? With only 6 spots available for early enrolles to occupy from the 2012 class, there must be some 2013 recruits who aren't expected to qualify academically.

A few other SEC teams signed less than 25 kids in 2012 and have the option of taking more than 25 this cycle.

UGA has something like 34 they could take. LSU could take as many as 29. Florida only had 22 in their 2011 class so they should be able to take 28 this year.

how, exactly, can you take more than 6 ee? you have your 25 for 2013, and the 6 left over from 2012 when you took 19.

here's how i see this class right now:

32 total right now.

cross 2 off - kohl is going mlb (especially after jm's season) and griffin isn't making his grades.

25 for 2013

6 early entry - i see 2 cc and 1 prep, who are the hs kids graduating early and coming in?

that leaves you at 30 total, w/ one spot left.

the only way i can see being able to add more than 6 ee, is if some of the 2012 class were ee and backcounted to 2011, but i don't recall that and don't have the energy to go looking for it.

Thanks Delta.
