Can you imagine Cowherd and others if we sign 28 b/c we back filled with some of the early enrollees? We only signed 23 last year so we could fit at least 27 in the class.
Some of the recruitniks with more knowledge than me could verify, but I think you're limited to 25 scholarships, no matter how few you gave out the previous year.

In other words, you can't average. At the ridiculous extreme, you couldn't give scholarships to 50 players in one year, even if you gave none the previous year, never mind that your 2-year average would be 25.

Not a recruitnik but thinking some that enrolled earlier this month can be back counted and not considered part of the NSD 25

You can back count slots not filled from the prior year.

Was 23 with or without Taylor? I cant remember and I am too lazy to go look. That is why I think it was up to 28 signees at one point to be taken.
The 23 included Taylor... We had a few early enrollees amongst the 23 so, nobody but coaches/compliance knows if any back filled. For all we know, we could have room for 30... I'm sure Saban and the REC have tapped a few current players on the shoulder to go have their "check up" to get processed for their medical hardship in order to get to 85! 😜

Oh there is no doubt when the time comes, Coach will have it down to the magical 85. He always does.

It appears we are down to Wednesday, either decisions or our orchestrating, and I love it. We have not had this kind of drama on NSD in some time and it is going to be fantastic with a bullet.
That's true, we usually have everything wrapped up by now. Gonna be a furious finish. BTW, don't know how long you've been in Inverness but I went to IES before transferring to the (at the time) newly built Oak Mountain Elementary School.

I lived in Oak Mountain when I was younger, great school.
