Why would we only sign 20 recruits next year?

I was over on the SEC rant and saw someone post that he didn't see us signing more than 20 recruits in the 2011 class. Why would this be?

I figured with attrition and transfers we would atleast be able to sign 25.

We'd have to send alot packing if we sign a full 25. But if the talent is there,we kick the others to the curb.Its how Saban built Bama so fast. We will have to keep up.

84 scholarship players currently-17 seniors=67 scholarship players heading into 2010.

67+27 new signees=94 scholarship players

94-10 transfers/dismissals/early entry/etc=84 scholarship players for 2010

84 scholarship players-10 seniors (assuming Hicks transfers this year and goes somewhere else)=74

74-10 transfers/dismissals/early entry/etc=64 scholarship players for 2011 and 21 signees for 2011.

With an extra transfer or two, you get to 23.

I think we sign 22-24 in 2011. Players leave early, transfer and are dismissed often.

They'll find a way to push it closer to 25 imo

Maybe they are just trying to run Kige off the site.

Boise St. only has 6 verbals: one 4-star, four -3-stars, and a 2-star DB.

I read an article saying Boise could ony sign five recruits this year. Looks like they found space for one more.

How you only sign 6 in a year is just amazing to me. But then again I read somewhere that Saban had a class of 10 one year at LSU.
