Allen Trieu with a 2nd 247 CB for Jalen St. John to the beloved this morning
I believe the correct wording is you can only bring in 25 per CLASS. not 25 per year . Those problems are not that hard to correct. See our last two transfers in
That's incorrect. In every one-year period you can only add 25 scholarship players to the roster. Transfers, Jucos, whatever. That's why teams that get into a Kansas situation are so screwed.
I thiiiiiiink giving scholarships to walkons doesn't count against that limit, but I'm not 100% sure. You could see the potential for someone to abuse that loophole, surely.
Blueshirts help with this issue, and this staff has used them in the past to help balance some things out. Also, this hand-wringing is also based on the assumption that we won't lose any players to transfer after the coming season. This almost always happens.
Can't believe I missed this opportunity... Good work.KrushCow31 said:

I'd love to see Krush Cow crush a crow
But, how much crow could a Krushcow crush, if a Krushcow could crush crow???
To be doubly clear, I'm not hand wringing at all. We're at 82 right now, which is good. If we stay at 28 juniors and take a full class the next two years, we'll end up stuck at...82.
It's not a big deal. But it is something to keep an eye on, and will be a reason, for instance, that we probably won't be aggressively recruiting a bunch one-and-done grad transfers next offseason. Fourth year guys who don't play much this year are also probably candidates to transfer out as grad transfers, as someone else mentioned.
That's incorrect. In every one-year period you can only add 25 scholarship players to the roster.
I think there is little chance that this is a real problem, but asking for a friend if blueshirts would really help here & some rule clarification? The class in front is small, so you would like to fill that up to the 85 limit, if you fill to 85 then I assume you are locked out of moving anyone forward into your small class (blueshirt) by the 85 limit. The big class is still locked at 25, so I wouldn't think you could even bring anyone forward into that class from the following class because it is already at the 25 yearly limit. I suppose the wild card here is mid-season transfers, kids getting kicked off the team, or leaving for whatever reason... do you get to reload to 25 or 85 limit if someone leaves during the school year?Blueshirts help with this issue, and this staff has used them in the past to help balance some things out.
I believe blueshirts are added to the following year's count. Maybe I'm getting it wrong, though.
Straight beat me to itHyperbole? Chief Gritty?
CorrectI believe blueshirts are added to the following year's count. Maybe I'm getting it wrong, though.
The optimal class distribution is 21 per class.
By choosing carefully, a coach can be certain to choose only players who will develop fully on the agreed-upon timeline, get straight A's and be models of the community. Nobody will transfer because, of course, each class is optimal, and therefore is a perfect fit to the university and their program of study, as well as the team. The bad news is that because positions of need won't always map directly to the list of consensus five stars, we will have to continue accepting some amazing four star student athletes, too. Maybe even some three stars that those bozos at the rating agencies completely missed on. /s
Not only is a QB from USC transferring, so is a QB from tOSU. I assume we're on it.
Give me some feedback on this...
These are what I believe the steps we need to bring this program back to relevance and dominance...
Agree with most of it, but I'd say keeping relationships in FL and CA is more important than #4. Much more talent there and staff has connections.Give me some feedback on this...
These are what I believe the steps we need to bring this program back to relevance and dominance..
#1 Lockdown the in state recruiting.. so many great players from this state leave for another..
#2 keep our presence in Mizzou very strong.
#3 keep our presence dominant in the state of texas... a ton of athleticism comes from the state of texas.
#4 we have got to find a way to recruit the kids from the upper east coast, Maryland, Rhode island, Massachusetts. Those three states are considered a pipeline for high grade talent.
#5 we absolutely have to win, kids want to succeed 99 percent of the time, they want to come in and WIN... almost every recruit worth anything is used to winning, they dont want to be part of a rebuild most of the time..
#6 we have to give lovie a little more time..
I honestly think #5 is more important this year than anything else. Need to show success on the field in 2019. Obviously keeping the relationships and recruiting alive in the key areas is crucial, but the pitch to those kids is a lot easier if Illinois finishes 7-5 than if they finish 4-8.Give me some feedback on this...

a 3 star from texas can be better than a 4 star from ilI think once we start winning with the Texas and St. Louis group, it will be easier to get the top IL talent. But if I had to choose for the next 5 years, give me a top Texas kid over a top IL kid.
