Not E but here you go.
So you have 85 on the roster and a league rule of 25 per signing period. However, when you have some back slots to fill from the previous year you can add another 10-14. But only if the first 3 are 5 stars and the second three are 4 stars. Should you have a need to add 4-5 5 stars then you can only backfill 7 spots. Now here's where it gets a little confusing. If you want to add 28 players in the current recruiting year you must add at least 4 5 stars with 5 4 stars that are close to being 5 stars. The thing you don't want to see happen is only getting 22 signees with 1 5 star, 4 4 stars, and 17 3 stars then you have all kind of explaining to do.
Hope that helped and WDE

quote:The hard 25 is there. It just confused you like it did many recruiting fans and appearantly reporters also.
what happend to the hard 25 rule? Or did i just completely understand it incorrectly?
quote:
Just the rules in general on back counting..
Every FBS school can sign or enroll 25 new scholarship players each cycle. Counting in that 25 limit are all signed NLIs even if the player does not enroll and transfer students when they go on scholly. For example. Corey Grant walked on at AU as a RS Freshman transfer from Bama in 2011. He did not go on scholly at AU til the Fall of 2012 and at that point counted to the 2012 25 limit that had signed in February 2012.
If a school signs less than 25 in a cycle then they can sign whatever number needed to fill that 25 in the next cycle as long as the players used to fill the initial 25 are January enrollies. Therefore it is technically a hard 25. For example. You sign 22 players in cycle 1. In cycle 2 you can sign 28 provided 3 of them are January/midyear enrollies that would be able to count in cycle 1 to fill up the leftover spots. In the end the books would show 25 signees for cycle 1 and 25 signees for cycle 2.
