No reason not to formally sign Graves even if he's a sure sign and place.
Also, I wouldn't be totally surprised if we started seeing more three-man fronts with all the DT we signed this year. We know Odom likes the idea of read and react (often a trait of 3-4 linemen, I believe), and he used that style at Memphis.
If we were to see more of that, we could still sell immediate playing time to the 2018 kids, as there would essentially be three starting spots instead of two.

We may not have the scholly for 2017. Without OVing, getting an official offer, he could blueshirt.
We are limited to 25 LOIs for 2017. We currently have 23, but not sure if all are for 2017. Apparently 3 offers are out there, not including Graves. They might want to see how those other 3 pan out before offering.
EDIT: Blueshirt (for 2018 schollie) is basically the same as being a member of the 2017 class, except he can't enroll in summer classes on MU's dime. The blueshirt would be a full-ride upon enrollment, counting towards the 2018 class.
I don't believe we've ever used this tactic, but other SEC schools have.
Still the biggest problem is can Graves get into MU academically.

It's going to be a multiple front one gap scheme. Odom has stated that and Haley hasn't coached 2 gap techniques at any of his previous stops.

There is a reason. That signing would take up 1 of the 25 allowed signings for that year.
