Looking at previous commit lists, you have to go back to 2008 to for sure find a class they couldn't take 25 guys in. 2010 may have been the same way as we only took 19 in that class, but that was during the transition of Gill being hired and think we had enough room to take 25 if the staff wanted to in that class.

So if that is true, that means we have had 7 classes in a row that we had enough room total scholarship wise to take 25 in (5 classes if 2010 doesn't count). Looking forward, we obviously have enough room to take 25 in this class and looking over the numbers should have enough room with respect to total scholarships to take 25 in both the 2017 and 2018 classes...

So assuming all of that is right, that means we have/will have ten straight years where we have/will have enough room to take a full class (8 if 2010 doesn't count). It's hard to tell just looking at the commit list since not everyone uses all of their scholarships and in previous years oversigning occurred a lot, but I would be very surprised if there is another Power 5 team that can say the same thing...
