If we're taking only 15 commits this year, then I'm in denial, but I keep seeing people running with that number, and rightfully so with the Tunnel Talk updates. But I keep expecting a larger class closer to 18-20, especially with the HOL writers using that number up until last week. Is there any evidence we're truly stuck at 15? Our updated Scholarship Distribution Chart shows we have 15 openings. B1G rules allow us to sign 3 over, which should put us at 18. And there is ALWAYS attrition.
And Riley is quoted saying they're shooting for 15, but will take players beyond that if the additions are elite level (paraphrasing).
I feel Riley is playing the game perfectly by advertising a scarcity of spots to troll the recruiting waters and get the big fish to bite easier. And the timing couldn't be better after the spring game turn out. To me it also means he expects the work to be put in for us to land some elite talent later in the recruiting season.
Is this crazy thinking, or are there other reasons people keep running with that 15 commit angle?
