2011 Recruiting

[danefan]

Wednesday was the Initial Signing Date. That means Wednesday was the first day guys can sign a NLI, not that its the last. Also just because a kid signs a NLI doesn't necessarily mean hes getting $$. Most of the team yes, but not always. Most kids have their decisions/plans set by wednedsay but there's still a lot of recruiting and moves going on past the signing date.

 

 

Agreed. Recruiting will probably go on until July.

 

I'd expect the class to end up around 20.

 

There are also kids that were holding out for scholarship offers from FBS and other FCS schools that are now on the clock. Maybe we snag one or two of them as well.

So if you aren't getting aid what is the point of signing the letter? Wouldn't signing a letter of intent with a school that you know won't give you money eliminate your chance to find a school with extra money later in the recruiting season?

True, but some schools will have kids sign a NLI even if they're not getting money so that they hold them to it. Also, some guys are able to get into school because of football and spots might be limited, academic money guaranteed, who knows. There's always a few different factors.
