[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1478079, member: 4851"] Or to summarize: both allow a school to count the player towards the following year's recruiting total (25 max.), which is why they are used. A grayshirt is sort of the opposite of an early enrollee; instead of enrolling early, he is delaying being on scholarship until the spring semester as part of his NLI. Just like an early enrollee, the grayshirt cannot practice or play in the fall. (In the fall, an early enrollee is usually in high school, a grayshirt is usually part-time or not even on campus.) A blueshirt is just like a redshirt, except the student cannot have been "officially" recruited, meaning no official visits or in-home visits and no NLI. Gray as in a ghost, as if he isn't really there. Blue as in blue balls; he had no recruiting love. [/QUOTE]
