Question bout scholarships?

I'll use Bama as the example cause they're the first to come to mind. Signed 22 in 2017 so can sign 28 in 2018. If they only sign 25 in 2018, do those 3 extra spots rollover to next year or do you have to use the extra schollies the following year?

Yes they rollover or yer you have to use them the following year?

Each team is allowed to have 85 scholarship players on the roster per year regardless of class.

That is a good question. I'd hope not but something tells me that they will be able to roll them over if they want.

Rollover is not the proper term. In order to use them you have to have EEs to fill them. You are just filling each years allotment. But as long as you have the EEs you can carry the number forward as long as you want.

You can only roll them over one year now. Sign 22 last year you can sign 28 this year. If you only sign 25 you lose those 3. If you only sign 24 you can roll over one for next year.
It is important to not that you only get a reduced number of incoming signees. You do not lose any of the 85 scholarships. They can go to someone else. Usually walk ons. I believe some people get number of signees allowed vs number of scholarships available confused.

Think of it this way, if they sign 25 this year, they count three back to 2017, leaving them with only signing 22 (25-3) for 2018.

Understand the 85, but wouldn't seem right for them to keep rolling over. We could undersign by 2 or 3 for several years then sign like 35? I know you would still have to adjust for the 85, but if you could get 35 studs you may be willing to do so?

You only lose them if you don't have the EEs to back fill.

ETA: and those extra signers are required to be early enrollees. So if you did 15 one year with the goal of 35 the next, you better have planned on 10 EEs.

Makes sense, thanks!

Let's do some basic math. The number you can sign in a given year 25 + bc (the number you can backcount by using EEs) Start with a clean slate of 25 available (bc = 0).
yr 1: sign 24
yr 2: 1 EE + 23 new (24 total)
yr 3: 2 EE + 22 new (24 total)
yr 4: 3 EE + 21 new (24 total)
yr 5: 4 EE + 25 new (29 total)
This is how it works. If you don't have the number of EEs listed here, you would lose those and could not carry forward.
