Mywan Jackson
Buckeye Bill Kurelic is reporting that Mywan Jackson (FL QB/Ath) will announce today at 4 pm. Finalists include Michigan, Louisville, and UNC. Are we not hearing much because he's an unlikely commit or an unlikely contributor? He's a HS teammate of Angelo Hadley (UNC Commit).

From what I've heard, we aren't hearing much because he's unlikely to commit. Expect the Heels.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:41 PM ^
baby blue...the heels are building into an ACC power
January 8th, 2009 at 12:42 PM ^
I am just praying for a surprise.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:55 PM ^
it seems to me that UNC is over-recruiting. just a tad bit
January 8th, 2009 at 1:20 PM ^
When the North Carolina Rivals site carries the story that Jackson is going to commit, that is, as they say, an indicator.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:02 PM ^
Yeah they have 26 recruits listed as commits on rivals... Jackson would make 27? I know they are still targeting Sam Montgomery and probably a few others... Alabama Jr?

If some are enrolling early, they can count on last year's class.

As NC boards don't seem to know much about the kid, or that he ever committed, but supposedly one recruit has noticed the, um, "over committing" in UNC's class.

If anyone is still wondering, Jackson picked UNC.

RR said yesterday on the radio that they can recruit 25, that's the limit. Last year Alabama signed 26. UNC is going to have 27 or 28. Chitown says early enrollees can go against last year's class. If so, and McGuffie transferred and other left, why can't we get 28 or more. Seems like we should be able to get more than 30. Why does RR stick to 25 when we seemingly should get more. Heck, we need all the good bodies we can get!
January 8th, 2009 at 6:53 PM ^
McGuffie transferring has nothing to do with it. That only opens up another schollie for the 85 total limit, but not year by year. If I understand it correctly, each team may only sign 25 per year, but early enrollees may count toward the previous year, but only 3. Thus, if your team had 22 last year, you may sign 28 this year if 3 of them enroll early. Now, if you sign more than that, but they don't qualify (like 'spoon) or for whatever reason don't enroll, then you're still OK. We should be OK since we have room from last year's class and more than 3 guys got here early. We can go to 28, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

The rule is 25. If they enroll early, they can, in theory, count against the previous year - but the year to year limit is still 25. So RR saying 25 is the limit doesn't mean he won't sign one or two more if they have the chance, but if you shuffle (for argument's sake since I don't know the numbers by heart) 3 of the early enrolls to last year and push that one to 25, then take a full 25 this year, you have no flexibility with the early enrollees next year. In that sense, the coaches may not want to take guys just to have bodies if they think next year might have more options. I'm sure they won't turn down people they think have a shot though.
