I highly freaking doubt that a team wouldn't have room for a combine player. that is rediculous to think otherwise.

ya they would rather take a chance on a freshman of being a better player than the guy who had been there 3 years and knows the playbook. do even listen to yourself?

The problem is that NSD is before the draft. Yes, teams would like to take back players who weren't drafted. The problem is that what happens when the roster is full after NSD and a player wants to come back? Do you just tell one of the freshmen to frick off? Where would he go?

That all sets a bad precedent imo, and it's not like coaches have a crystal ball on who's getting drafted. So they're not going to take a chance on one of their underclassmen not getting drafted as opposed to signing a freshman and being assured that roster spot is going to be filled.

Are you serious?

Does the NCAA plan to increase the scholarship limit? Because the fricking draft is 2 months AFTER national signing day.

A school can only sign 25 players per year. Do you think a head coach will save spots in his 25 player limit just in case one of his former players doesn't get drafted and wants to come back to school?

And if a coach doesn't hold spots open for some undrafted players that want to come back, what does he do with the new recruits he signed in February? Kick them to the curb to make room?

An LOI signed on national signing day is a binding contract between the school and the recruit. The school can't back out of an LOI two months later just because an upperclassman choose to test the draft waters and when he didn't get drafted he wants his old roster spot back.
