Out of curiosity just how do you define "oversigning". You can sign 25 a year and have 85 total at a time. If you sign less than 25 a year then signees who are early enrolles can count-back to the prior years total. Those are the rules for everyone.

You know, like the oversigning Bama does?

But you realize that teams can only sign 25 per year right, with exceptions to backcount early enrollees of the previous year you sign less than that amount? You know that, and aren't just repeating something that you heard once but don't really understand?

Michigan's problem is that the ones they've signed have been subpar and not the fact that they'be had imaginary constraints.

grey shirting tho.

SEC teams to sign more than 25 recruits the last two years:

2015
Tennessee 27
Auburn 27
Georgia 30
Mississippi St. 28
South Carolina 31

2014
Alabama 27
Tennessee 35
Ole Miss 26
Kentucky 28
Missouri 28

Other schools to sign more than 25 recruits the last two years:

2015
Clemson 26
Ohio St. 27
Texas 28
Georgia Tech 27
Boston College 26
Syracuse 26
Cincinnati 26
Florida Atlantic 27
Memphis 30

2014
Florida St. 28
Miami (FL) 26
Oklahoma 27
Arizona St. 26
Oklahoma St. 27
Virginia Tech 28
NC State 32
S Florida 28
Boston College 30
Indiana 26
Rutgers 26
Wake Forest 26
Oregon St. 29
W Michigan 27
Marshall 28

SEC has the reputation for using grey shirting to skirt the max 25 rule, but those lists show the ACC with as many schools exceeding the 25 per year limit (ten) as SEC.

To be fair, the schools with 26 or 27 are (to arcdog's point) likely just backcounting early enrollees, which is a standard practice and totally within the letter and spirit of the rules.

But how does Tennessee get away with signing 62 recruits in two years?

Butch backcounts early enrolees and greyshirts like everyone else, but he's pioneered the use of blue shirts (pressuring players into paying for the first semester themselves with the promise theat they will be put on schollie after that). Of course, there's no guarantee since the promise can't be in writing (player can also not have made an official visit to the school).


And players normally aren't informed that they need to greyshirt or blueshirt until signing day comes and there's no LOI for them to sign. In many cases, the players have been committed for a long time and so don't have open offers from other schools.

You realize Nick basically cuts guys or sends them to St Saban Mercy Hospital, right?

The only reason I brought up Michigan and Harbaugh is it's hilarious the SEC coaches crying foul over something like camps when they get to bring in however many guys they want and medical them if they aren't good enough whenever they want.

and before someone brings it up, Harbaugh is on pace to bring in a lot more guys then they have room for with the 16 class. Just want to bring up how the SEC acts holier than thou about the camps and cuts.

UGA had 30 because the previous year they had like 19. there were 6 or so early enrollees who counted towards the previous year.

Pretty sure you are only allowed to backdate 3 early enrollees, for a max legit class of 28.

Who that guy who had moved into the dorms and found out he had no scholarship come February?

ON that note, anOSU told someone this week that they didn't qualify academically...

the problem with Alabama is that Saban essentially brings in 5 recruiting classes in the amount of time other schools can only bring in 4

that Alabama brings in top talent, develops it, and also benefits from a massively unfair advantage are not mutually exclusive

Pretty sure you made that up until I see a source.

I just don't see the 5/4 ratio being anywhere close to the truth once you account for the legit academic, criminal and injury problems. Everytime I've check the numbers the past few years, it's more like 0-2 players in a given year fell to questionable attrition. You guys always count transfers such as Dee Hart in with your "cuts."

Auburn will open the 2019 season against Oregon in Jerrahworld. National title rematch baby. Can't wait!

In other pseudo Oregon related news, Phil Knight is stepping down at Nike. Does this mean anything for Oregon? Or just business will continue as usual there.

Definitely made it up. The limit is up to 25 from the previous year's class or 85 total scholarship players. http://247sports.com/Article/Nationa...-know-35310001

Phil stepped down as CEO several years ago but remained Chairman of the Board. Today's announcement was in regards to him transitioning away as COB in a year or so. Here's the key part (hint: he's still filthy rich)

On Tuesday, Knight said he had transferred 128.5 million shares, or about 15 percent of Nike's total outstanding shares, to Swoosh. Because Knight owns a large amount of Nike's Class A shares, which aren't publicly traded, Swoosh now has the power to elect three-quarters of Nike's board.
As of a year ago, Knight owned about 75 percent of Nike's Class A shares and a fraction of a percent of its Class B shares. The Class B shares are currently trading around all-time highs and closed at $108.02 on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Nike said its annual profit grew 22 percent to $3.27 billion and its revenue rose 10 percent to $30.6 billion.
