How many Early Enrollees can we take. I believe there are limits, such as only 85 scholarship players on campus at a time? (I believe this is the case?)
So far seems every new committing players is coming in January.
Last Sat, there were 15 players (not including Marty Lyons) who graduated; but only 12 were scholarship players and this also included Cornwell who is transferring after the CFP games.
Maths are hard for me; but I see that if there are 85 possible slots, subtract 12 that gives 73

Out of Eligibility
Dalvin Tomlinson Grad 12-15
Adam Griffith ???
Ryan Anderson ???
Alphonse Taylor Grad
Brandon Moore Grad
Korren Kirven ????
Brandon Greene Grad
Truett Harris Grad
Dakota Ball Grad
Eddie Jackson Grad
Jonathan Allen Grad
Reuben Foster Grad
Tim Williams ????
Cole Mazza Grad
O.J. Howard Grad
Gehrig Dieter (GradStudent not completed)
16 = 5 not graduated as yet?? => 11 spots open?
Tramsfers Cornwell and Bateman => 13

as mentioned above Maths be hard and stuff...
Looks like the EE's are
Chadarius Townsend
Dylan Moses
Kyriq McDonald
Daniel Wright
Isaiah Buggs
Vandarius Cowan
Thomas Fletcher
Elliot Baker
Alex Leatherwood
Hunter Brannon (mentioned in interview open to come any time, EE, Summer or Grayshirt)
Tua Tagovailoa
Brian Robinson
Najee Harris
Tyrell Shavers
Jerry Jeudy

13 or 12 so, if my maths are good and I am correct about the way EE works? these can all begin in Jan?
BUT as hard as Maths are, understanding the rules are even harder.

much like why none of these guys will be able to assist in Bowl practice (like Jalen last year) since they seem to be coming on board 1-8???

Possible problem with the numbers, we don't truly know "how many" guys are on scholarship this fall. The numbers always have a way of working with CNS, so I wouldn't fret. If we have 15-18 EEs, then I'm sure we are within the rules.

I don't think there is a EE limit, but it all ties back to the 25 limit of new scholarships and 85 total scholarships.

Those aren't maths. Those are arithmetics.

 

[bamaledge]

I read somewhere that some of the numbers will be charged to last years numbers. I don't keep up with the numbers, I let CNS worry about that.

Amazing how many are EEs this year. Have we EVER had this many? And what of some of our competition? USC, tOSU, FSU..... are they seeing this as well?

 

[rolltide66]

I don't remember us ever having more than 6-7 but here again, Im old and what were we talking 'bout?
I think usually you can back count against those from earlier classes who declare for the draft and have transferred (so we have a ton of space there); but, we still have the 85 limitations. (Know there is a "Numbers" guy and Bama will not allow more to enroll early than allowed and thus bring down the ire of the ncaa.
The kid from Cullman says that he is ready to "come early" or when they tell him to come. (Greyshirt or whatever is needed for the good of the team)
And hear that the JC DB from Blinn is most likely going to be allowed to Flip since he is not graduating until June.
I was just really amazed with the number of EE's and then got to counting against the 85 and if this class stays as is, the numbers will be at least 5 over... and there is all this talk of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or.... more (and I sure hope we pick up 1 WR, 2 DL and 1DB before we finish....)
Again, I'm just old and tend to worry way too much... Trust in the Saban.... we have a guy!!!

 

[TUSKtimes]

Given that some of the EE is limited to how many we were under the 85 during the fall campaign. That number is increased by the number of players who leave the team and must have graduated by the end of fall semester.

So for example, we lose Cam Robinson, but I noticed he didn't graduate this fall, so he wouldn't add to the number of EEs we could add this season.

Wow, I can't even remember us having more than 2-3 EE.

Update, Korren Kirven graduated in Dec 2015. Is in grad school.
Total of 21 guys who are on the team and eligible to play in the Peach Bowl will have at least an Undergrad degree (many are WO's)

And while I had not been listing Mac Jones as an EE, seems he is wanting to come in Jan, but his school is holding him up.
