How many EEs can be counted back to the previous year's class?

Is it a hard cap at 5? Or does it just depend on how many spaces are available?
For example, if a school signed 17 players out of the 25 allowed in 2014, could they count back 8 EE from the 2015 class or just 5?

Depends on how many you signed the year before I believe

I don't think it's a hard cap. UT back counted a really big group last year.
I know Bama has at times back counted more than the usual amount by retroactively revoking scholarships after the season was over and making the kids pay back the tuition money. Not sure if anyone else does this.

No hard cap. If you had a class in which you took nobody, then you could take 50 in the next class. Just as long as 25 of them were EEs and everyone fit under the 85-man cap when the season rolls around.

I'll answer by using A&M's classes as an example.
Mike Sherman signed 21 players in the 2011 class to Letters of Intent. That allows 4 from the 2012 class to count towards the 2011 class.
Ignoring the number of early enrollees in that class for purposes of explanation, that would allow you to count back 4 players from the 2012 class towards the 2011 class.
Kevin Sumlin signed 19 players in the 2012 class. Of those, Matt Davis, Derel Walker, Kenneth Marshall, and Tramaine Jacobs enrolled early, leaving 15 that actually count towards 2012.
Kevin Sumlin signed 31 players in the 2013 class. Of those 31 players, 8 players enrolled early, leaving 23 towards the 2013 class.
Sumlin signed 21 players in the 2014 class. While 7 enrolled early, only 2 counted towards the 2013 class, with 19 counting towards the 2014 class.
Basically, if the scholarships are available, A&M could theoretically sign 31 in 2015. It's likely we will sign 25 or 26 at most, with Evans, Davis, Murray, Mack, and at least 2 more enrolling early. This would leave between 5-6 we could count back towards 2015 with the 2016 class.
