Sounds like the coaches are getting ready to pull something out of a hat.

If true it would mean the staff feels really good about a few recruits/surprises or do not have the room to take the full 27. Bell taking a GS puts our class at 22 commits. Leaving 5 spots left. I tend to believe at this point we finish maybe around 25 tops and use a few spots for next year to back count into.

Alabama asks Hoover defensive end Christian Bell to grayshirt for class of 2016
Hoover senior defensive end Christian Bell committed to play football at Alabama in late April of 2014, but will not sign his national letter-of-intent on National Signing Day on Wednesday.
Bell told AL.com on Monday he has accepted a grayshirt to still continue his career in Tuscaloosa. He will enroll in January and be a part of the scholarship count for the Class of 2016.
"I have decided to stay committed to Alabama and take a grayshirt," Bell said in a telephone interview with AL.com. "I will start in January after the first semester this fall."
A grayshirt is more like a pause button on the recruiting process than a delayed redshirt. A grayshirt will not report for summer drills or fall practices. Those student-athletes wait until the second semester to begin their freshman year.
The strategy keeps the NCAA five-year eligibility window from opening.
