We screwed up when we signed Peterson and Fehoka (sp) instead of offering them grey shirts. Signing them cost us 2 spots that could have been used this year or the next.


an interesting situation, you'd think they could just come in based on their original LOI and not take up new slots, but that LOI is rendered null and void if they don't qualify. However, a player doesn't have to sign an LOI. This is one way schools could get around the LOI issue with EE's, as long as they have room to back-count initial qualifiers. Of course you lose the protections the LOI provides.

EE's do not sign LOIs unless they are a juco player. Stokes would have signed one....Diarse, Pocic, Jennings, Rettig, etc would not have.

As MOT pointed out, EEs don't sign LOIs, but they count. It's important not look at this like a lawyer looking for loopholes.
