scholarship limitations???

[tigerh8er]

:conf2: JoJo DT or someone else of knowledge, how can Arizona St sign 24 to NLI if you can only have 27 on scholarship and 35 on the roster in spring 09? By the way , Bama has 39 on the present roster, they signed 13, not to mention Woodall and others, with just 3 Seniors!!! Does this mean that they will have to run off 15 plus players???!!?? What gives??

i dont know any exact figures but college baseball rosters have a HUGE turnover rate. if u compare our roster from year to year its over half a new team every year. more than likely arizona state gives out full rides ands that why they can sign more and they probably have a high amount of players get drafted as well, while us on the other hand cant give out many full rides and we have a few players leave for the draft (or transfer) each year

I'm not sure but some guys may be on another scholly like the Bryant or some other one. Not being from Bama or living in Bama, not sure what all is offered such as the Hope Promise in Ga which is something all states should have by the way. DT or JoJo should be able to shed more light on this, they know all about this stuff, but sometimes they can be slow... DT_lam:

A couple of possible reasons for Arizona State being able to bring in such a large recruiting class:

1. Arizona (like every public school in the SEC not located in Alabama or Mississippi) has the inherent advantage of state lottery scholarships. Any in-state player with reasonably decent grades is taken care of and doesn't count against the NCAA's scholarship limitations.

2. It is also possible to circumvent the NCAA limitations by awarding players academic scholarships, as is commonly the practice at private institutions.


As far as Alabama accommodating all of the extra players by the 2009 season...I'm not sure exactly how they will approach that. I don't believe that they'll have to end up running off as many as 15 players, though. We can generally expect to lose a couple of signees to the draft, and there is also the possibility of draft-eligible underclassmen leaving as well. I don't know whether a player on a football scholarship counts against the baseball limitations or not. If it reaches a point where roster cuts do have to be made, one would figure that the first to go would be those players with little chance of contributing.
