re: What's really the point in signing a kid that you know isn't going to qualify?

Well, its just a formal thing now. Sign with us, and we'll walk you through the process. Since they don't count against the numbers unless they make the grades/score, and enroll, its just a nice gesture that you hope gives you some good pub with them, their family, and other recruits that might be their friends...And just maybe fill a spot later, when they qualify out of JUCO...but I get the point..
