What happened to the DeSoto signees?

[UNTLifer]

So, if Graham and Jackson grayshirt, who fills the final two spots?

We get to sign 27 next year, if that is the case.

[MeanGreenTexan]

We get to sign 27 next year, if that is the case.

Really?

I thought we can only sign 25 max per year. Maybe we can award 2 of these to walkons?

However many spots of the 25 you have remaining after all have signed from a class, you can exceed the 25 cap by that much in the following year. As long as you have at least that many players (the number in excess of 25) enroll at midterm. It's called backcounting.

Or maybe a late signee falls in our lap

[BillySee58]

Here's an article on backcounting, from back when the SEC was the only conference enforcing the 25 scholarship/class cap. It became an NCAA-wide thing last year (2013 signing class) so I'd have to imagine backcounting is NCAA-wide as well.

Here's the official site listing: http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/signing-day-2014.html

It looks like 19 total -- Wallace enrolled in the Fall, Means and Fortenberry are Jan signees and Josh Greer and AJ Smith are midterm juco transfers. Chumley is not listed.

[Green P1]

Kishawn... So nice we named him twice.

Can he get a message to pass on to Sean Salisbury?

[UNTLifer]

So, what is the story on Chumley?

Brett Vito article

[BillySee58]

I trust Brett, but I just still don't get this scholarship situation. With the 3 grayshirting we should have 3 spots left. 19 signees and 3 walkons count in this class. Why only 1 scholarship left? I don't know why it wouldn't be 3, since that's how many short of 25 we are. Not to mention we have 63 scholarship players on campus right now, to my knowledge, and we signed 14 more today (5 already on campus) who will arrive in the fall.

That would put us at 77 total projected scholarship players for fall. So we have 8 left there, and 3 left in our class cap of 25. Why only 1 left?

Not sure, but it seems that the 25 limit is the culprit. There were 4 walkons awarded ships that count in this class Kirby, Macek, Buyers and Caldwell that were named. I wonder if there is another.

[buff64]

It is not uncommon for some schools to oversign , more than 25, due to some signees are grade suspects.

[MeanGreen13]

we should still have 3 spots available unless they have put some more people on scholarship that havent been mentioned.

4 walk-ons who already played, + the 18 guys signed yesterday (not including chumley).= 22 in this class.

leaving 3 scholarships by my count (the three grayshirted guys dont count for this year.)

maybe they are resolved to pocket a few of those scholarships for next year's recruiting class or to award to walk-ons over the summer.

Bleacher report, for what it's worth, ranked our class 11th out of 13 other Texas schools,ahead of such powers as Texas State and Southern.

Bleacher report should never be read by anyone, for any reason, ever.
