You know you can only sign 28 LOIs right? And enroll 25? That leaves you with at least 1 not getting an LOI to sign and at least 3 non-qualifiers/grayshirts

your post still doesn't explain it






The 29 against us this year includes the verbals of Cooper and Mauldin, who may not commit afterall. That would leave us with 27, and Clowney would make 28. That means 3 kids would have to go without scholly. Most coaching staffs who do this know the players well enough to know which ones will even qualify, and who is willing to grayshirt/walk on.

True, but they may also.

I agree with this. The part that made me think you were confused in the OP was the "1 gray shirt at the most" comment.

Also, I think it is pretty standard across the SEC for at least 2 not to qualify. So, if the 2 you mentioned that are waivering sign elsewhere, USC has no problems.
