How many commitments are we allowed?

oldlion said...

120 over a four year period. In Al’s first year we only had a class of 21; in his first full season ( the current sophomores) we had around 40; last year I think we had 30; and this year it looks like we will be over 30. If I am correct, next year we will probably be constrained by the rule of 120 and the class will probably have to be below 30. These numbers do not include so-called walk-ons. So if Al finds a recruit who does not have to be designated as a football recruit there is a way to exceed these numbers.

Can medical losses and quits be deducted from the 120 and thus provide room for a few more commitments?

According to a tweet about John Harris dated April 26, 2017, Harris was also offered by Yale.

Harris looks super. We're gonna have some collection of backs and receivers, best ever, IMHO.
