Aaahhhhh. Right. That is where the confusion comes from. I was thinking Trey Hill.

I think he's aloowed to enroll at a school that can accept him. I think he just has to sit a year with the NLI being binding for that long.

Marcello just confirmed what I though. Carlito has to sit 2017 now.

Mistake on his part. He should've gone to Junior College and restarted his recruitment.

FWIW I asked Rusty Mansell if Carlito still counts to AU's 25 limit since he enrolled at another D1 school & he said he shouldn't. Rusty seems to get the rules pretty good so I asked him. If true then there is another spot to sign a player in 2018.

Then he could only play 2 or 3 years of D1 ball as opposed to the 4 he can now play for Memphis.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with your opinion. Just saying it's not cut & dry & depends on the individual.

Yeah if he's any good and has a shot at the NFL he will still get that at Memphis, and he doesn't have to go to bumfrick Kansas or MS to play Juco ball

What's the real difference here? All 3 options suck. At least you can improve your situation with the JUCO option.

I would definitely try my chances at JUCO to get rerecruited. Auburn and South Carolina would both almost definitely offer him again. Some of these kids need to grow up and be humbled anyways.

I wouldn't bet on that. The number of kids who don't get reoffered after juco by the school they signed with out of HS is just as high if not higher than the ones who do get reoffered. Situations & needs can change drastically over 2 or 3 years.

They do change, but Auburn has seemed very loyal to original signees.

Jovon Robinson
Jason Smith
Daquon Newkirk (so far, even though he didn't "sign" with Auburn, IIRC)
Alaric Williams (we'll see)

The sample size is small, but it's there.

It's also incomplete. See Earnest Robinson & Darrion Hutcherson. That's 60% (3 out of 5) for resigning with AU with 1 pending. Not overwhelming evidence to support a statement of AU would almost definitely resign him.

Talking to my wife about this tonight: if you have the talent, the NFL will find you. Just look at an NFL roster and see where the kids are from.
