re: NCAA Scholarship Limits

Complicated answer but here is the skinny I believe. First, a guy declaring early for the draft helps only in the 85 total limit area, not in the number 25 yearly deal. Second, IF you signed 25 last year and they all made it into school and didn't backdate any, you can only sign 25 this year. If however, say you only signed 22 last year, you could sign 28 this year...25 for this class + 3 leftover from last class. HOWEVER, to sign those extra 3, they would have to be "early enrollees/EE". That means of course, they would have to start attending classes in January...the previous month to the NSD period in February. Hence, the word "backdating" which means those 3 count against the 25 limit of the previous class.
