Red shirt players are included in the 35 man roster.
True and I knew that - my bad.
As to Arkansas, you see a LOT of transfers out every year and, if you look at there signing classes, they are almost all on the roster their freshman years PLUS a decent number of JC transfers into the program that aren't even accounted for in the above numbers. They always seem to make it work somehow.
Not to quibble too much, Root, but the two underlined parts are what people worry about -- sure, it "works" in that the NCAA rules are adhered to, and they have a great team . . . but the first underlined part is I think what most people mean when they talk about over-recruiting.
