OK I get this but surely there is a time limit on the "selected classification" thing. can anyone just select their year to sign after high school? JUCO?

Focusing on selected classification is kind of the wrong way of looking at this. You typically have 5 years in which to play 4. That clock starts when you enroll and attend class at a 2 or 4 year institution. It doesn't matter whether you play sports or not that clock starts.

I can only think of a couple of reasons for him to delay until next year. First, he may be acknowledging that he isn't going to qualify. The second is that he is purposely delaying until there is room at the inn of his choice.
