We can exceed 25, and get to 26, IF IF IF we have 1 or more Mid-Year Graduation Replacement Exception slots. NOT JUST December 2019 grads and NOT early graduates in general, but players on the 2019 roster who graduated IN December AND leave the team (NFL draft, etc.) and do not enroll in January.

No, and we need to stop thinking about "counting forward" as being some type of thing we could do. We are maxed out. Period. Time for the CIS armchair coaches to stop inventing scenarios where we can sign more guys. The actual coaches know the rules and know our limits.

No it's not. August is the 2020-2021 academic year. The year that nearly every January 2020 signee will fall into anyhow. Early enrollment doesn't create a space-time vortex. Everyone counts towards 2020-2021 unless there was a Mid-Year Graduation Replacement Rule exception or two, which...

Miami gives out all 85 scholarships (valued at over $4.425 million annually just for the tuition) each and every year.

They care because certain programs were over-promising, and also forcing out sophomores and juniors who weren't starters. Look, there are a lot of things I hate about the NCAA, and I also hope that they will come up with some common-sense revisions to this rule, but the IC rules were a...

No, I think you are missing the point. Nearly every January 2020, May 2020, and August 2020 enrollee is going to count towards the 2020-2021 academic year. Somebody invented "February to February", but that's actually not a thing. The NCAA looks at academic year (starting in the fall). If...

Except that this never happened because of the IC rules, which did not exist at the time. Name all of the Butch recruits who delayed enrollment. People are confusing the OTHER things that Butch did to get under the OVERALL scholarship limitations.

It's amazing. Everyone remembers the Ole Miss signing class from 11 years ago. Nobody remembers that the NCAA has changed the rules to prevent Ole Miss from doing this again, more recently (and multiple times).

It's "based on enrollment" to the extent that everyone who enrolls must count as an IC. But the TIMING of the enrollment is not exactly the same as the academic year in which one is an IC. For practical purposes, nearly everyone who enrolls in January 2020, May 2020, or August 2020 counts...

Nope. Another way of thinking about it is this. The very first year that the IC rules were implemented, all 25 had to count somewhere. Let's pretend that year was 2010-2011 (academic year, beginning in fall semester 2010). You couldn't go out and sign 25 early enrollees for January 2010...

Correct. There is not some magical period during which we have "free summertime spots" to sign grad transfers. 25 per year, 100 every 4 years, 135 every 5 years, everyone counts, coaches need to figure it out.

Yes sir. We just have some posters who either (a) look ONLY at our Signing Day signing class, without counting JuCos, grad transfer, or late signees, or (b) look at another school's signing class (without knowing their details) and complain as if Miami is somehow not doing everything it can to...

There's no such thing as "spring enrollment" when it comes to IC rules. The rule is 25 per academic year. And it is based on ENROLLMENT. To use a simplified example, let's say that you signed 25 high school kids in February, and they all enrolled August 2020. That would be the 2020-2021...

I understand. But it's how some people on this board keep getting the wrong idea. Everyone just needs to keep repeating this phrase: "Miami has no countbacks left". That will solve a lot of the ignorance. Or maybe not.

Everyone counts as an IC for some particular year (freshmen, JuCos, Grad transfers). They have to count against some year's IC numbers. So if you try to count forward, you cannibalize the next year.

It has been explained a million times. Perhaps Ped State had 1 or 2 countbacks left (Miami does not), or 1 or 2 Mid-Year Graduation exceptions. Every school's situation is unique.

No. He got Andre King to "walk on" after playing pro baseball. And he signed Santana Moss to a track scholarship. And Joaquin Gonzalez got an academic scholarship (and chose not to go to Harvard). None of those were grayshirt situations, they were simply efforts to evade the overall...

No.
