I hope Wolford gets more size in the remaining part of the class.  We need beef up front to compete with NDSU, SDSU, and UNI.  How many scholarships do we have to give out total come signing day?  Does anyone know?

Indy:

A superb job putting all our recruits on this list; THANK YOU!

I have no idea how many scholarships YSU has to give.  Hard to say with the ability to split scholarships. 

Isn't it 63 full scholarship equivalents spread over 85 players?

FCS/I-AA teams no longer have a 85-player max (I do not believe). I think the max is on active fall roster.

Now a scholarship in DI is split into tuition & books ...and room and board. In I-AA/FCS they can split any way that they want (these are called equivalents); however, most split in these two parts and thus have 126 partials (or 63 full-rides). Now, this is important because you can begin to see the NCAA's purpose in offering I-AA scholarship equivalents is to recruit locally ...thus not need the room and board, as you can offer more than 63 tuition partials. Unfortunately, most good athletes know this and demand full ride, as they travel to play ...look at how many Florida, PA, and CA players we have. Do you think that they will play at YSU for tuition or room and board only? Not likely. It is important to remember that ALL DI schools (FBS or FCS) must maintain a minimum of 76.5 players on athletic scholarship.

In IA/FBS, they have 86 scholarships, but even if a player only receives a single dollar ...it is considered by the NCAA to be a FULL scholarship. So there is absolutely no splitting/equivelants. However IA schools can save athletic scholarships in the same way as their I-AA counter-parts. That is, get aid in other ways. Academic scholarship being the most common. If a player is smart enough to obtain more than a 3.3 ...then they can usually get academic scholarship, then will only need the room & board component of their athletic scholarship. Thus leaving the tuition and book half for another player; or in IA/FBSespecially, they reduce their $$ outlay. Likewise if a team can recruit locally, then they can live at home and save the school the room & board component. Thus it is so very important to recruit locally.

There is also something called scholarship deferment, which is a source of much (cough, cough Urban ...clear throat, clear throat Myer's ...achoo achoo Florida) cheating. We will not get into that as it is too complicated.

However one thing to point out is that a player only has 4-years of eligibility ...no exceptions. From the time they take their first snap (let me repeat 'first snap') in a varsity game the clock starts ticking ...they have 5-years to play 4-years of football. There is absolutely no truth to the fact that a player can play less than 1-game or 1-quarter and can still red-shirt. If they play a SINGLE DOWN, it is like playing the entire season. Amount of time played only impacts a player when he applies for a "medical" red-shirt.

FCS schools are limited to 63 scholarships which maybe split into a max of 85 players. No more than 30 new players may be recruited in any given year. Team size is limited to 100, including walk-ons. There is no limitation on how the schollies  may be split -  room, board, tuition, books, etc. Minimum of 76.5 equivalent must be carried at all times.

When, where, how is there a time to have 3 athletes/players that stand 5'8" or less on the field at the same time?  Im the same height but dont understand this RECRUITING move for 2014?  In addition, there are 3 RBs in the class and 3 DBs so a position change doesnt appear to be an option either.  I understand the theory of recruiting the best "ATHLETE" but not sure how this benefits us...?  I would suspect we will see more DL help by way of JUCO?

Yeah man. Our defense was so fast the NDSU\SDSU ball carriers had the chance to break 4-5 tackles per play.

Wasn't talking about the defense. Was talking about guys we recruited that are smaller for the offensive side like Stubbs.... Those guys make a difference.

I just noticed this on the Cleveland PD site.  DB, DJ Thomas, St. Edwards has apparently commited to YSU.

http://highschoolsports.cleveland.com/news/article/6155911074421751130/st-edward-db-youngstown-state-commit-dj-thomas-recruiting-snapshot-national-signing-day-2014/#incart_river

He's on the list Soup. Goes by Derrick and DJ I guess.
