Mikey 16,625 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sounds like this was Latu's replacement? I don't think so. Auburn was recruiting Miller very hard before Miller committed to LSU. If anything, the timing sounds like Latu was originally a replacement for Miller. I think the LSU twitter is bogus information. There is no such thing as "room for a mid-term enrollee". He will count against the 25 limit whether he enrolls at mid term or signs in February and starts school whenever. See Auburn's Mitchell, Pike and Calloway for further information. A school could, in theory, enroll all 25 guys early if they had the grades. In any case we needed another top O-line prospect in this class and Miller is a great fit.

I'll admit I'm in the dark on a lot of recruiting information. It just sounded like we turned up the heat when we realized Latu was not going to make it in by this Spring and this guy was. But I guess not. Either way, I'll take it! WDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,036 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think he's going to be a very good OL and enrolling early will only benefit his development. Whatever the reasons, I don't care how AU got him just glad he is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think the LSU twitter is bogus information. There is no such thing as "room for a mid-term enrollee". He will count against the 25 limit whether he enrolls at mid term or signs in February and starts school whenever. Its not a case about the 25-limit; it is about LSU's 85-man roster limit. They can only take 6 early enrollments with respect to who they have on track to graduate. Scholarship rules are boring as s*** for me to follow; but I buy it. Miller wasn't wavering from his LSU commitment at all; and when a kid completely out of the blue not only switches over but immediately enrolls at a new school it strongly suggests that he didn't just randomly change his mind. The reality is that LSU was 1A and we were 1B when he committed to them; thus when he found out that he'd be able to enroll right away at Auburn while LSU wanted him to wait until the summer he didn't hesitate to switch to Auburn (who he was heavily leaning to for a long time before LSU crept up).

Mikey 16,625 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Unless the rules have been changed, they count the 85 scholarship number once a year, at the beginning of fall classes. Thus it doesn't matter how many enroll early or how many enroll before seniors graduate, as long as the seniors are gone by late August. Now, I will entertain the idea that LSU got commitments from other players they thought more of and told Miller to look elsewhere so they could clear a spot on their 25 man annual limit.
