how is it they are going to be able to sign 25 kids?

They have 20 commits, still recruiting kirkpatrick, randal, jackson, and others.

Are they not going to renew scholarships for 15 kids?

Easy, they recruit the best dumb athletes they can find. . .betting that only the numbers they can take will actually qualify.

crapshoot, really.

Isn't Saban's degree in psychology? It sure can't be accounting, math or finance.

High rates of attrition. Lots of JR.'s and SR.'s leaving now that they know they will never see the field.

That's the theory, however, I think it's pretty dumb to bank on that much.

When they were on probation, they lost scholarships. So when they got off probation a bunch of scholarship slots opened up, letting them sign a bunch last year. Not sure of the exact numbers, but that could still play a part this year.

How long will Little Nicky be able to keep doing this before it bites him on the arse from a recruiting standpoint?

I know if I was an SEC coach, I'd make sure every recruit's parents knew the "Saban statistics"...!!

Several players will leave because they do not fit into this system. They had several leave last year that is why they signed 30 players. Saban will somehow make room for them.
