Do grayshirts count against that total?

They count toward the following years scholarship limit. You can bring in 40 players if you want, but only 25 will be on scholarship and the other 15 would have to grayshirt and pay their own way the first semester.
 
Landed @ Foothills Community College in CA.

>>Swartz will have the luxury of calling the plays for an NCAA-caliber quarterback in Kivon Taylor, a transfer from UConn. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound redshirt freshman went to high school in Atlanta and is one of a handful of Georgia natives on the roster.

"I'm lean, fast, kind of powerful," said Taylor, who compares his style to that of Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton. "I've got a nice arm, accurate, nice deep ball."

Taylor is looking to spark interest from four-year programs, much like Newton did after transferring from Florida to spend a season at a community college before winning a national championship at Auburn. "At UConn, the coaches that recruited me got fired, so I decided that I was going to leave," said Taylor, who was suspended during the spring drills at UConn.

Taylor arrived at Foothill on July 2 and found his way to the practice field by the next afternoon. "I think the offense fits me well because I like to run a lot of play-action, zone read stuff," Taylor said. "Make the defense come in and throw over the top. And I like to be a threat myself, so they have to respect me, the back and all the receivers -- a triple threat for us."<<

Sounds like the kid was really humbled.
 
Sounds like he is really high on his ability. I thought he was a real intriguing prospect based on his highlights. For depth purposes would have been nice if he was still here.

At least he's bright enough to see the handwriting on the wall....he is not a good fit
for a TEAM, very best wishes-Move on!!!

We need to recruit that kid - he sounds perfect for us.

I can't believe we let the next Cam Newton and RGIII get away. Fire Diaco!!

If he was still with us, we would love his self-confidence.

Very true in many cases! I catch myself at times as a fan....is the "tough/hard-nosed/gritty" player I love really someone I would simply sum up as "dirty" if they played for a rival?!

Yeah ... but he is in Los Altos Hills, CA. That's a damn good gig for awhile.
 
hey, coaches miss on players all the time. Cam Newton is a great example. Tom Brady is another. UConn has landed a few pretty fair players who were too small, slow, unpolished or whatever for bigger programs. Taylor could be one or he might not be one.

Cam Newton is not a good example. He was behind Tebow at UF....plus when he left there was off the field issues. Florida didn't put up a fight when they left. It wasn't a matter of coaches not seeing his talent...it was Tebow and off field issues that led to his departure.
 
.-.
Obviously he's high on his in game talents, but the real question is, is he a good practice player?

Who would you rather have? I'd take Newton but others would take Tebow I guess.

If the choice was Newton and $200,000 from my bank account or Tebow, I'd say a few "Our Father"'s and take Tebow.
