Don't you have to sign 20-30% of 1 year guys forever or until finally you sign 25 HS guys and have a void in the upper classes.
Signing a lot of 1 year guys is a problem, but if you sign 25 guys a year, and redshirt 12 guys, with no attrition, you'd have 112 players. So you can have around 6 or 7 in a class leave if you are signing players with 4 years of eligibility. Signing 4-6 one year players each year would accomplish the same thing for numbers. Of course that ignores that you are going to have natural attrition, presumably at a higher rate than previously because of lax transfer rules. I think you are going to see a lot more transfers with more than 1 year of eligibility moving forward, as people figure out by their RS So year what their role will be and whether they're happy with it. QB's and K's may be an exception. Might see a lot of them transfer as a sophomore or junior, and then if they get passed over again, try to do a grad transfer to a starting position.
