In the 2017 recruiting cycle we "took" 3 more players than we had room for under the NCAA's 25 "Initial Counters" yearly class size limit. But, we had room for two of them under the 85 total scholarships limit. In that situation, two players can blueshirt -- meaning they can get those two scholarships, enroll and practice with the team, but they were not eligible to play until the 2018 recruiting cycle provided 25 more IC spots to count them against. Joseph Bulovas and Hunter Brannon were the two blueshirts. The 3rd player, Jarez Parks was greyshirted -- i.e., his enrollment was delayed until December 2017.
