re: Question about early enrollees

25 players over a 5 year period is 125 kids. You only can have 85.

If you get quality recruits and develop them you will average under 25 ships per year.

Or you can go the Tennessee/Bama route and trapdoor dead weight upperclassmen and sign the max number of kids every year

That math makes sense but you usually have between 5-10 that don't redshirt and my best guess is at least 5 out of every class will drop out after 1-2 years for one of the specified reasons listed above. We have managed to stay under 85 recruiting 28 players a year so I would think nothing has changed on the quality of players. We will hopefully hit on the greater percentage that match or exceed expectations and the lesser percentage will be the kids who do not and will quit the team. In any case we need the 25 a year to keep the quality of the roster.
