re: 2017 UGA Recruiting Thread (commits, offers, visits, etc.)

Yep. 85 is the max. That's what I was referencing in my post... there is a chance that guys we thought were going to leave and/or were encouraging to look elsewhere might be indicating they aren't going to, which would leave us in a tough spot. Obviously, only Kirby and the staff would know, but it's not like we're grossly undersigning this class even at 23.

Basically, there are 2 limits that matter here:
85 total scholarship players at any one time.
25 *Initial Counters* per recruiting year. This part is a little more ambiguous, due to "back counting" of Early Enrollees. Because the staff holds the cards here on who counts toward what class, it can sometimes be harder to determine this. If I had to take a wild stab, we may only have 2-3 signees (we've only got 6 EEs anyways) out of our 2017 class that is able to back count to 2016. This would be where the 27 target would come from that multiple recruiting analysts seem to think is UGA's cap.

Assuming the number is 3, and we didn't add *any* more members to this year's class, then the 23 signees are reduced to 20 initial counters for the 2017 class, leaving us room for 5 EEs to count back to this year's cap in the 18 class (probably a little more attrition next year as well between graduation and possible early departures).
