Self Imposed Sanctions

Disclaimer: I'm far from a recruiting guru, but our class looks to be locked in at 20 for this year, while the coaches have floated the number being 22 to 23. Maybe you recruiting guys can help me out, but why would we, essentially, self impose a sanction on ourselves, especially coming off a season where depth has killed us?

 
22 spots. Could have over-signed to 25.

I was confused all along why Riley kept going for 22. The only reason I can think of would be to save a couple for a smaller class next year.

But as it turned out, we should have been shooting for 25 and ended up at his number.

 
Mav was saying that we could go up to 25

I'm of the opinion that you go +3 every year. You always have guys leave over the spring/summer for one reason or another.

 
We could have taken some lower ranked players but we went after some big fish (Lewis, Lenoir, Johnson, mike O) that went elsewhere.

We also got some big fish.

I would have loved to have those guys. But, I'm ok with this strategy.

 
Im typically not a fan of it. However grad transfers are being hinted at for us. We also have a class of 14ish next year. With this and attrition we can balance our classes to get next years around 20 recruits. You give Donte a full year to recruit, you give Parella a full year now. Have an open spot that can be filled by another ace.

I'd like to see us shoot for the correct number and save the +3 for last minute highly-ranked guys.

Would you rather they take guys they didn't really want to hit the number?

The concept of a "sanction" on ourselves is just a total misconception.

We will have 85 scholarship players in the fall, like every school.

Anything not signed in this class will go to grad transfers and deserving walk-ons, like it does every year.
