I’ll clear it up, LSU fans recently pissed me off at the time, so I had decided to troll the board. I would have made new account but something is wrong with the sign up so I used this one.
Any information I bring to this board will not be bullshite and I’m sure the other insiders on this board will fact check my stuff like they already have with my recent post.

A few posts down, an LSU poster outed him as a Bama fan trolling their board.
You gotta read a little more first.
Well to be fair he didn't respond to that guy and until the 24th he had only 3 posts, none of which were about Alabama.

Yes bc I was posing as a LSU fan in order to troll. Look I understand why you’re skeptical but why would I bring correct inside intel on bama if I was a LSU fan dude?

Pretty sure if he was recruited at all in football he counts whether he plays or not if he is on the team on some other scholarship.

Nope. Here's the NCAA Bylaws section pertaining to that:
quote:
15.5.6.3.7 Recruited Student-Athlete, Varsity Competition. [FBS/FCS] In accordance with Bylaw 15.5.1.2, a recruited student-athlete (per Bylaw 15.02.8) receiving institutional financial aid certified as having been granted without regard in any degree to athletics ability becomes an initial counter in the first academic year in which the student-athlete competes on the varsity level. (See Bylaw 15.5.1.2.1.) (Revised: 10/27/05 effective 8/1/06, 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)
I'll post all the pertinent NCAA Bylaws for FBS football 25/85 recruiting and scholarship limits in my next post. I've learned one key thing over the years. They have to be read carefully.
For example, this section pertains to what's commonly called a blueshirt:
quote:
15.5.6.3.4 Nonrecruited Student-Athlete Receiving Institutional Financial Aid. [FBS/FCS] A student-athlete not recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) by the institution who receives institutional financial aid (based in any degree on athletics ability) after beginning football practice becomes a counter but need not be counted as an initial counter until the next academic year if the institution has reached its initial limit for the year in question. However, the student-athlete shall be considered in the total counter limit for the academic year in which the aid was first received. (Revised: 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)
Bullovas and Brannon were blueshirts. There was room for them in 2017 under the 85 total counter limit, but not under the 25 initial counter limit. Once fall practice started, they could go on scholarships, and be counted against 2018's 25 IC spots. Bama was careful to avoid actions that would make them a Recruited Student-Athlete, as defined in the first section of the next post.
Jarez Parks had to greyshirt (delay getting a scholarship) due to no more room under the 85 total counter limit. Parks couldn't be a blueshirt in place of Brannon or Bullovas because Parks was already a Recruited Student-Athlete, which is defined in the first section of the next post. Like I said, these rules have to be read and studied pretty carefully.

Therefore, such aid shall not be awarded if the institution has reached its limit on the number of initial counters prior to the award of institutional financial aid to the student-athlete.(Revised: 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)

In bowl subdivision football, an institution may use the midyear replacement exception only if it previously has provided financial aid during that academic year to the maximum number of overall counters (85 total counters). In championship subdivision football, an institution may use the midyear replacement exception only if it previously has provided financial aid during that academic year that equals the maximum number of overall equivalencies or overall counters.

15.5.6.3.6 Aid First Awarded After Second Year.

15.5.6.4 Exceptions.
15.5.6.4.1 Voluntary Withdrawal.

I've only heard that we're trying to make a move for him). Our staff has gushed over Leal recently. He's considered right there with Alfano. If Alfano is #1 on the DL board, Leal is 1A. He seems to know what he's talking about.
I’ve talked to 2 other people saying exactly what you said on Dent, but one of best connections told me that something was going on between Dent and bama and wouldn’t elaborate. Which leads me to believe he wasn’t totally sure either. I will talk with him tomorrow and I’m sure he’ll tell me then.
Good news is: is Dent will visit soon.

Bailey is an absolute prodigy, and he seems to love Pruitt. Landing Ramel Keyton hopefully helps our chances with him.
I think we have a great shot at him and Gilbert in 2020

Read the comments after the article and you'll see that Hank backed off on that. We now only have 26 Initial Counter spots available for 2019 signees. We had 28 as of NSD, because we had three unused IC spots from 2018. Since NSD, Musika and Hatcher have been added to the 2018 class, using two of those three previously unused 2018 IC spots. So, 26 is now the max.
It's possible we could sign the 26 max and then add 1-2 gray or blue shirts, no? Saban has pretty consistently done this in the past. That would get our class up to 27-28 and with such a talent rich class this cycle, it seems like a pretty logical thing to do. I expect it, honestly.
