That leaves at least 9 open spots for this year. I believe we could have even 1 or 2 more. The 2014 class we signed 27 kids, 7 of those kids were early enrollees. 2013 class only had 18 kids signed. Not sure on transfers, but I would bet at least 2 or more spots could come from those classes (probably only 2 more as I think only Butler and Osborn are the only options left to count backwards.) So yea, we can basically sign all we want this year as we have behind running behind for years.
