I thought the same thing. In another post I mentioned if it's anything like over-selling a flight somebody is going to be pretty upset when they gt sent home without a scholly?? Right?? How can they get that many to use?? Did they lose a bunch of their players?

That page lists us with 27 recruits. They have Hollivay listed twice.

I don't know what the already enrolled thing has to do with it. Perhaps if they are already enrolled they can fill a slot that was previously open. There can be only 25 recruits not currently enrolled on sighning day as I understand it. I thought Riley was already enrolled?

He changed his mind (after he got injured, I think), and decided to graduate with his high school class.

No, Riley is not enrolled now. Coach Dodge told me tonight Riley will play in a couple high school All-Star games in the summer. I think that's why he decided not to enroll early.

I also noticed that NT had a higher average ranking than MT or Troy. That tells me they might have had some higher rated players therefore getting more points. NT has a better rounded overall higher rated class.

Alot of teams usually oversign players past their scolarship limit mostly because some players are in danger of not being academically eligable. If Troy still has more players than scholarship then those kids will opt to grayshirt (pay their own way the first semester, take a scholarship next year, then still have a redshirt year and four years of eligability left).

I know that we have already talked about this Ad Nauseam. But man, that Rivals point system is screwed up.

100 points for UNT with 25 recruits, eight 3-stars and an average of 2.30.

100 points for Eastern Michigan with 25 recruits, one 3-star player and an average of only 2.04.

Now, take a look at Eastern's recruits. They have a bunch of 4.9 to 5.1 players.

How in the hell does Eastern Michigan and UNT have the same number of Rivals points. They both have 25 recruits. Yet, UNT blows them away on a recruit-by-recruit basis.

I have tried, but I simply cannot figure out their bizarre math :huh:

Just look at it. Shake your head. And, walk away.

BTW, the Sun Belt is going to be stronger than the MAC, if not already.

If you look you'll see several 3* players who signed with Troy at the last minute (2/6/08). I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these are gonna be "grade risks" who weren't able to find a bigger name school to take that reach on them. If they pan out, big bonus for Troy. If they don't though...
