How many slots remain?

25 per year

With 17 commits so far, there are probably 8 open. There are possible grayshirts and non-qualifiers, plus Isaac Dixon from last season, so there could be as many as 10 open.

Actually 25 a year isn't right, we are allowed 85 total and what I've heard this year we have room for 22 or so this year.

25 per recruiting class

I know a few years back we took 27 and UW has taken 30. It just depends on how many slots a team has, only the SEC puts a 25 max a year that their teams can take.

Actually just checked in in '07 we took 30.

You get 25 per year until you reach your limit of 85 total.

The actual limit on scholarships per recruiting class is 25. Many schools offer and receive commits from more than that, assuming a certain number of non-qualifiers, or something of that nature.

Athletes who enroll early, or choose to "greyshirt" change the way those numbers are calculated, as well.

An early enrollee may count against the previous recruiting cycle's scholarship total, while a greyshirt counts against the next recruiting cycle.

While USC is limited to 15, due to their NCAA probation, they are allowed to have early entrants count against last season, replacing departed players who either didn't qualify, or transferred.

Ok, so how does that answer the original poster's question about THIS year? His question was how many left for this year not what is the max a year we are supposed to take.

I expect like 2 guys from this class to grayshirt though, so I wouldn't be surprised if we stretched this class. Plus there's always the potential of guys failing to qualify.

We have had a rash of those as of late as well as off the field issues over the off season so there is a good chance there will be as many as a handful of guys that leave, don't qualify or get kicked off the team

Unless you are on the coaching staff, it is virtually impossible to have the exact number. The math can get pretty fuzzy at times.

sorry, I assume some people aren't lazy and can use common sense.....

25 limit - 18 verbals = 7 spots + (# of early admittances &/or grey shirts)

Thanks for all the information my friends.

So what your saying boom is every year we take 25, no more no less? Kids don't just sign up to be a gray shirt and early admittance still count towards the 11 class. Unless some players leave, or are planning to leave, as of now we are taking 23. So 5 spots, but that can always change.
