UF recruiting question. LEIGH related
Posted on 12/19/20 at 7:21 am

In 2019 they sign 25 made up of 21 enrollees, 3 signed letter of intent which count whether they enroll or not and 1 transfer.
2020 the sign 31???? Made up of 23 enrollees, 1 signed letter, and 7 transfers.
This year they currently have 22 signed, 3 verbal, and 1 signed transfer. (26)
If they were to take Leigh they would have to drop two of their verbal to stay at 25. But how the hell did they take 31 in 2020 after taking 25 in 2019. I know in 2018 they only took 20 total so that may be one reason I guess.

I've questioned this too, also with Alabama. My understanding is a signed LOI counts toward your 25 total even if the signed player doesn't enroll. Maybe that's wrong. I also understood that 27 is the absolute max, but only if you can back date (grey shirt) 2, assuming there was room in the last class.

Don’t think transfers count against the class unless they are grad transfers with immediate eligibility

Correct. Grad transfers only count because they are immediately eligible. Which is why this year is different. All transfers are immediately eligible and you can sign 25

Is UF supposed to be a threat for Leigh ? I always thought it was between us,clemson and oklahoma.

As long as you have enough early enrollees, you can carry forward open spots from previous classes in perpetuity. So you have to know exactly what their balance sheet looked like in order to judge. Also, you will probably need detailed specifics about individual cases in order to understand some things that don't look right because the details can matter. FWIW, if they did it you can bet it's within the rules. Too many eyes on this for it not to be.

This is wrong. Anybody who receives countable financial aid, who hasn't been at the institution for an academic year or has been counted before at the institution, counts. Includes transfers, walkons who receive a ship, and in certain cases, athletes on academic scholarship.

That's pretty much it as I understand it. Crazy year.

I thought transfer portal guys counted also? If that were the case you could take an extra 10 or so to fill out the roster. I really don’t think that is the case.

So Indiana Tiger, what does that mean for Marcel Brooks? I see a little smoke from his buddy. Still do not know if he can come back and not count against the 25.

They do. Unless they counted before, like if Marcel Brooks returns, they all count and immediate eligibility has nothing to do with it.

He wouldn't count against the 25 because we counted once before. These are limits on the number of first time recipients.

Copy that then due to the overall numbers it couldn’t hurt to pull him back on the team for depth. Thank you!

I would think if brooks really wanted back he could get a waver or something to not count against our 25. But that is a very unusual situation.

Can confirm. I changed schools because of a girl and then changed my mind and went to LSU at the last second.
We dated long distance for a while, but I probably should have broken up with he right then, because it was over the moment I chose to leave. Leigh probably understands that. What he doesn’t is that the better thing for him would be to break it off now, no matter where he goes to school. Most 18 year olds don’t have a long view.

I am referring to the 25. Anybody who receives countable financial aid, who hasn't been at the institution for an academic year or has been counted before at the institution, counts against the 25. Includes transfers, walkons who receive a ship in their first year (in case the preceding sentence didn't sink in), and in certain cases, athletes on academic scholarship.
