Why does Alabama get to sign 28?

We couldn't take a full 25 last year because we'd have gone over our 85 limit. Counting the ones that didn't make it we only took 21 in last year's class (these are all guesses since, as Saban has stated, only HE knows who's actually on scholarship).

Graduating a big senior class and losing 3 juniors to the draft we now have plenty of room under the 85-limit so we can take 4 extras and count them against last years 21.

It's a pretty common occurence.
