Since he wasn't on scholarship for the 2017-2018 academic year, him not returning doesn't benefit us from this aspect.

Was wondering the number game. No answers, but that thread obviously went sideways. So we got 18, and could sign 21 per B1G rules. Is this correct, Dubs?

Technically, yes. There's more to it though and we should be able to sign up to 25.

Is it really going to matter? This staff/Frost is pretty savvy. They are only going to "reach" to a certain point this year. If they end up short, I am sure they will be able to fill misses/roster holes with JUCOs next year in a manner that will provide immediate depth, plug holes, and even out classes. Maybe I'm too positive though.

I think you have a pretty good summation here!

Sure it benefits us from a scholarship standpoint. If he came back he'd take up a scholarship. If he doesn't come back there is then one more scholarship to give out. Not any more complicated than that.

Frost et al. are working the offer game pretty hard, but given they are late to the party with most of these kids, things seem to get a little reachy after 20. At least it seems so when you look at the offer list (which is of course expanding).

So, kjj enrolled early. I assume that was on his dime? Does he have all of his eligibility left since he only participated in spring ball?

According to this example:

The most important thing to understand about the five-year clock in NCAA Division I is that it starts once the student-athlete enrolls full-time at
any collegiate educational institution
[two-year or four-year institution]. Once the five-year clock starts, it does not stop.​

and another:
Generally athletes have one year after they graduate from high school to enroll in college. During that year, they can continue playing their sport with no penalty. After the one-year grace period, athletes must stop competing in their sport in order to preserve their eligibility. That date is always extended to the next opportunity to enroll. That means if a prospect graduates in May 2013, he or she has until Fall 2014 to enroll.

The graduation date that starts the grace period is either an athlete’s expected graduation date based on when he or she started ninth grade or the athlete’s actual graduation date, whichever is earlier. So if an athlete graduates early, the start of the grace period moves up. But if an athlete graduates late, it does not move back.​
