*** 2017 Recruiting ***

[BigRedBuster]

So seriously, when we get roughly 1/3 of the targets we want and plug the holes with back ups and finish ranked like 24th we are supposed to jump for joy?

That's a trick question. If we get 1/3 of the targets we want we won't end up 24th.

 

[GBRFAN]

You can do what ever you want!!! getting 1/3 of top targets is about the norm.

 

[BigRedBuster]

So, for early enrollees, I have:

KJJ

Gebbia

Bando

McQuitty

Anyone else?

 

[ADS]

Avery Roberts

 

[BigRedBuster]

I believe we had 21 sign last year. I also believe if a player is an early enrollee, he counts towards the previous year's 25. So, 21+5 =26. I wonder if someone like Gebbia or KJJ are paying their own way the first semester.

Why would those guys not be on scholarship? With guys graduating, there would be plenty of scholarships available.

Any chance we can get this list with a percentages chance of each player possibly committing? Obviously it's unscientific but with over a dozen of them not announcing until at least Jan 7th, and with many of them committed to other schools, how discouraging do things look for NU right now?

Well, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. But, I thought this is an issue of the NCAA rule of only signing 25 per class. If you sign 23 one year, then the next you can actually sign 27 and have two count towards the previous year so both classes technically has 25.

So, if we signed 21 last year, I would think we would only be able to have 4 early enrollees on scholarship.

Someone else can attempt to do that. It's not something I have a desire to undertake because it would end up in about a 10 page post in two days and no matter what you put down, it would be wrong.

This list is mainly there so I can see when our top targets are going to announce and if they have committed elsewhere.

NOT an NCAA rule - huge contention nationally. 25 is actually a B1G rule, with an allowance of 3 oversigns for a maximum of 28. This causes some fits because this should be the rule nationally, but other conferences ($$$$$$$EC) won't implement it and sign 28-30 regularly.

The only way a kid can count against last year's class if he early enrolls. So, if we signed 23 last year, and wanted to sign 30 this year, we would have to have at least 2 enroll early. That would put us at 25 last year, and 28 this year. Make sense?

The rule only applies to recruiting classes. Once kids are on campus, the only rule is that the football team stays under 85 scholarships. If we have the scholarships, they can enroll early. We graduated ~15+ guys this past weekend, meaning we have plenty of room for early enrollees.

I'm guessing Broc Bando would too. I mean I'm sure he could live in his families house and room and board is about 60% of the cost of a university right there.

1.) No coach would bring a player to campus without a scholarship

2.) No freshman can live off campus.

Why are people thinking that the coaching staff would ask these highly recruited athletes to pay tuition for a semester? It makes absolutely no sense.

I know that some of these kids come from wealthier families, but have some common sense people.

I agree. Why insinuate that they should pay their way? It's offensive (no pun intended). There is a certain level of prestige with being on scholarship.

It's very similar to those who thought the Cotton kids should have paid their own way because their father was a University employee so they should have been able to get discounted tuition rates.

This is even more insulting in this instance. Hey Keyshawn, Jr. I see this huge house you live in, you mind if you pay for your tuition this Spring? While you are at it, can you pay for a couple more kids?
