Q: Is there a limit to how many recruits I can sign in one recruiting class?
A: There is no limit to recruits in one class, BUT there is a limit of 6 players in each eligibility class. In other words, you can't have more than 6 freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors. A redshirted player counts as his eligibility class, so a redshirt freshman (who is truly a sophomore) still counts as a freshmen in the 6 player limit. If you have more than 6 scholarships open, you can target JUCOs or transfers as those players won't be considered freshmen. You could also opt to not fill all of your scholarships and take walkons.
I took a team with ten open spots - based on above, I recruited seven Freshmen (one of which I told would be red-shirted) and filled the remaining roster with JUCO, transfer or walk on. Six Freshmen acccepted (including the one I have told will be redshirted) so my remaining Freshmen recruit just had his scholarship offer removed because I have signed six freshmen. This doesn't seem right to me as this year I will only be playing five freshmen. I guess I figured that the redshirted freshmen would not count against my 6 playing freshmen based upon this sentence above "A redshirted player counts as his eligibility class, so a redshirt freshman (who is truly a sophomore) still counts as a freshmen in the 6 player limit." My redshirt who is truly a freshman would be counted as a high school player - makes sense to me but maybe I misunderstood. has this been discussed anywhere else?
