Alabama Roster Numbers

[dilligas 581]

I read where uat leads for utk transfer Henry To’o To’o.  My question is after signing 27 or 28 players every year despite the 25 man limit, how do they always have room for more?  Do they have some creative roster management plan or something?  Do they just pull scholarships from the bottom of their roster every year to fit all the new 5 stars in?  Or is uat simply immune from NCAA rules? Really puzzling to me.

@dilligasNumber signed each year isn't the big number. The big number is number enrolled. Also most people don't realize this but if a freshman does not complete their 1st year at a school their spot on the yearly 25 Initial Counter enrollment limit can be taken by a January enrollee from the next class. Not sure who they replaced on their roster but we replaced Cam'Ron Kelly & Charles Moore on their IC list with 2 of our new players who enrolled in January 2020.

Maybe they have a lot of attrition that I don’t hear about.  It just seems they always have room for more.

It only takes 2 or 3 1st year enrollees not finishing the year to allow for what they are enrolling the past few years.

With your explanations it makes much more sense to me now.

Most schools have about ten players drop out every year. That number is a little higher since the advent of the transfer portal. That explains them not bumping into the overall limit of 85. It does take a little creative shuffling, as explained above, to sign more than 25 year after year.

Get a game program and compare it to recent year's recruiting lists at the site of your choice.

Apparently they don't feel it is necessary to answer such questions.  As I understand it they hold FOIA request in the same regard.
