With the downturn of LSU and OU and the sips (possibly)....we may have to start turning folks away, especially if we give scholarships to several JUCO DL's.

28-29 probably. We still have room. Theoretically I think we can take 31, but that would require massive attrition under the 85. I think 28-29 is the most likely range.

How many are December grads that are going to count back to last year?

We had what, 21 commits last year? I think Alton Robinson counts even though he was eventually released. And a couple of those (Prater/Mann?) were early enrollees, so you could realistically take 5 early enrollees pretty easy.

We know Kellen Mond will be one of those given his financial aid papers. It would be nice if 3-4 others (OL/DL) would as well. It'd give them an extra semester of workouts/practice and would help with the 2018 signing numbers when we'll have a bigger senior class.

As beerad said, the bigger issue limiting commits this year will be the 85 cap.

Hmmm... numbers site shows at least 7 "early enrollees" on our 2017 commit list. I haven't looked in depth but don't think they'd all be able to count back to 2016. Also sorta doubt that many will enroll early, but I have no knowledge of the matter and numbers does this for a living, right?

Obviously if the kids were offered and committed they absolutely deserve and their spot should be honored, but you have to wonder if some of the kids we got commitments from in the spring/summer when our program was in a weaker spot would still have been offered given the season we're having this fall.

If we finish this fall strong I wonder if some blue chippers will have interest that we simply won't have room for.

That's huge that we have that many early enrollees. I know at least 4 will count towards 2016, due to the 3 early enrollees we got form 2016's class and Alton Robinson not enrolling due to legal trouble.

I'm wondering too if the Ags will have room for all the recruits who are now more interested in playing for the maroon-n-white

You can add JUCO DL Tyree Owens to that list.

We need as many early enrollees as possible. Many undecided recruits are looking at the good guys after our 6-0 start, and we'll want to make plenty of room. Most of the 2014 recruiting class are still on the roster, and we will have many spots open when they're gone.

True that.

QB: Mond, Blumrick (both early enrollees according to another website)
RB: Kibodi
WR: Ausbon(EE), H Jones(EE), Buckley, Paul(EE)
TE: Horry, McZeal
OL: Reed, Wolford, Hocker(EE), Green, 1, more (?)
DT: Peevy, Owens(EE), 1 more(?)
DE: T Johnson, Sweat(EE)/A Robinson(not sure), Clemons, O Robinson
LB: Hines, Marchiol(EE), D Johnson
CB: Morris, Sheffield(EE)
NB: M Jones
S: Carper, Tucker (both EE's)
That scenario would put us as 27-29 depending on if we take another offensive limeman &/or another defensive tackle, as well as potentially at least a whopping 12! early enrollees.

I think Turner will land a blue chip OL before signing day. As for Wilson, I'm afraid he's recruiting site bait. We could land Hutch tho.

He left the program and is playing at Blinn this season. Seems like we are the end goal but he isn't commited so who knows.

We could potentially have as many as 12-13 early enrollees.. wow. That's crazy but awesome if it can work. We would get help at nearly every position on offense and defense.. and all those guys would be able to go through the off season program and spring ball, which would be go a long ways in getting at least some of them prepared to step in and contribute right away in 2017 if needed.. especially at QB, WR, & DE, S.

From the very beginning of his recruitment process he has played things close to the vest. So he will probably not give any indication of where he'll be going, although it makes the absolute most sense for him to come here for every reason.
