This is from Dan's presser yesterday. I'd always wondered how this process happened:<div>

Because one of the things you look at on signing day is you can’t go over any more. Even if there is a guy that’s questionable academically, we don’t want to send out letters; you’re not going to send out ‘over’ letters because of the severity of the punishment for oversigning. So as you go through this whole process it does make it difficult in balancing. You say hey, there’s three kids you don’t know about and you only have two spots, and if all three of them sign you’re going to get punished severely. So if you send out two and send the wrong two and they don’t decide to come, then you’re way under.”</p><p style="margin-top: 1em; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">“So I think it’s made it a little more tricky balancing the numbers and trying to be exact. I think our staff, and especially the quality of the young men that we went after, we really didn’t end up with those issues on signing day.”</p></div>
