Alabama also had 3 scholarship players transfer during the year (OL Alex Stadler, LB Zach Schreiber, and QB Jimmy Barnes). I expect a couple to not qualify and perhaps a couple to greyshirt as well.

Anyone who enrolls in the spring (this semester) can count against the 2007 cap of 25, but only if ‘BAMA didn’t reach that limit last year….you would need to back out the number of spring enrollees to make a rough estimate unless you know exactly how many hit the cap (not capstone) in 2007.

I can see how someone would be so upset after the last two National Championships.

Are those gravy stains in your lace panties? Sounds like you just shit yourself.

There was a sliver of truth to Big 10 commish Delaney calling out the SEC’s academic standards in that the Big 10 has it’s own rule: you can only offer qualifiers and there is a 25 limit period. If someone is offered but does not qualify, that scholarship is burned for a year. So you can’t take chances on players you know are marginal academically, like Notre Dame did athletically when Willingham was coach. A school like Bama, they overstock and are banking that 4-5 will not qualify, or some JUCO’s are already enrolled so don’t count against the limit, or they will grayshirt some guys, making them pay their own way for the fall, but then yielding a scholarship the next spring.

Here’s something I would like to see added to the fuzzy math these recruiting rankings use…how many official visits did a school conduct and out of those visits how many kids did they land.

Jim Tressel had 26 visits and landed 19 of them…with Terrelle still in the balance it could be 20 of 26.

Back to Dick Saban and the Criminal Tide, 33 fucking recruits….33. How in the fuck is that possible????

Don’t we have enough fuzzy math in the BCS formula for ranking teams…how we are all going to become slaves to recruiting rankings just like the BCS.

As if fucking up our bowl system and creating bogus conference championship games to drum up more cash for the conferences wasn’t enough to start ruining college football, let’s now add recruiting ranking and sucking the lifeblood out of high school athletes to the list of things that will eventually lead to the demise of college college football and what it was supposed to be.

Why doesn’t the SEC just leave the NCAA and create a semi-pro league where you can have your official draft, playoff system, and superbowl game…

The “Now watch this shot.” refrain and the apparent complete lack of giving a shit about anything fool them into thinking it’s the OBC. When they get out there, he dispassionately demonstrates his golfing ability on the skull of a disobedient 1-star, thus terrifying the rest of them into signing. Even Jake Locker couldn’t outrun those balls.

I can’t hear you – I have a Julio in my ear.
