I thought 28 was the max allowed by our conference.

I didn't catch that. Is that why their recruiting class was so high(by their standards)?

The head coach said that since they got a late start on recruiting last year, they chose not to sign the max allowed. So, this year they had more open slots. They sit right in the middle of a hotbed for recruits that rivals anywhere in SEC land. Will see what the future brings, but they are likely to become a player in the BT. But, long term PSU sits in the same footprint.

tHere's an article that kind of addresses the Big Ten limit example. If Maryland has 27 open scholarships, there's no issue with them getting to 30 as they can oversign by three, or attrition or mid-year signings play into that as long as they can explain how they're getting to 85, which is probably fuzzy math at times. That's at least how I read it.
Briefly looking at Maryland Football on 247, if you remove the outgoing senior class, their total takes them to 88. It only showed 29 recruits for this year, so perhaps there's some "anticipated" attrition.

If Maryland makes a push in the East then who falls? PSU? It won't be Michigan or tOSU.

Where do you see this? I see Maryland with 28 recruits, 7 of whom are 4 stars.
I also see Michigan with 30 recruits with 3 5 stars and 16 4 stars.

Why would a team have to fall? There is plenty of talent on the east coast. Maryland moving to the Big 10 gave them a huge advantage in recruiting.
If Rutgers can ever get their head out of their a$$ they could be really good as well. New Jersey is a hotbed of talent.

I hope they continue to struggle. Hawks love to pull from that area.

Because if someone moves up in the pecking order in the East it's only natural that someone has to fall. No different than when Michigan St rose, it was at the expense of Michigan and Penn St.
