congrats on the signing class

whoopdee doo on a 28 limit on signing.......

if you sign 28 every year you will get an extra recruiting class every 4 years. By not having an 85 scholarship limit on NLOID, oversigning is very very easy to do. The SEC is just full of ignorant hicks that buy your logic and think everything is equal with the B1G.

with speed, I meant as a team. All conferences have fast individuals. Its a fact that overall team speed is not as fast in the big. Now you will have that sec speed and realize the benefits. Nobody in the big ten will match osu.

Oversigning makes no difference in stockpiling speed. the sec has the same 85 scholarship limits and a Max of 25 enrollees per year as everyone else..those that don't make the cut go to prep, juco or greyshirt. Sec teams can offer Loi to 28 players.
Last year Illinois signed 27 kids, but like the sec only 25 could enroll. Two kids were outta luck.

A team like miami signed 32 player this year. So what. they only can bring in 25 Max. Miami isn't stockpiling speed by offering 32 guys. They offer 32 guys for various reasons but they all can't enroll.

Oversigning seven players means that seven highly-ranked players cannot sign with potential opponents. Duh U may not be "stockpiling" talent by oversigning but they are "walling off" talent by doing so...

Then why do the SEC teams over sign?

If it isn't a competitive advantage why do it?

While this question makes a good point, I think we're being too kind by asking it. Those who claim that they don't see the advantage to oversigning are being disingenuous at best. They simply cannot be that stupid and still use a keyboard.

I literally LOL'd. Schools that do that [Mark May] are the reason people call NCAAF today's slavery.
