Walk-ons and 1 year signed transfers don't count towards the 6 player limit. I've heard however, that ineligibles who could stay for a 5th season still count towards the limit (someone recently had 5 SRs plus 1 ineligible who could come back for a 5th season and 2 others who were high up on the draft board *top 5* and neither left even though they made it all the way to the NC game.
