The really challenging thing about recruiting this year is that you cannot take the chance on having extra LOIs come in. With the new SEC rule, you can only accept 25 LOIs. If you receive one extra, you lose three scholarships in the next class, even if you only enroll 25. Coaches can't send out 35 LOIs anymore so they have to know who they are getting and probably have verbal agreements with backup prospects that they can have an LOI if others fall though.
Interesting. Seeing as bammer currently stands at 27 commits, that means that saban is going to screw at least 2 kids just hours before signing day, if not ON signing day.
