Subject: Poop Scoop claims UC has 5 scholarships this year. How?

From Poop Scoop:

On Friday evening we confirmed that 6'7 James White, who is transferring from the University of Florida, had the University of Cincinnati over Missouri and Syracuse. Obviously this is big for Bearcats head coach Bobby Huggins, as he continues to stockpile players in this recruiting class who have a little more maturity and experience than the normal high school player. If you will recall, earlier this fall Cincinnti landed 6'10 Robert Whaley from Barton County (JC) KS and 6'4 Nick Williams from Chipola (JC) FL, both of whom are consensus top five junior college players in the nation, and 6'8 Mike Pilgrim, who originally is Cincinnati, OH, but who is now a 5th year player at Wolfeboro (Brewster Academy) ME. Speaking of Pilgrim, rumor has it that he's not thrilled about the fact the Bearcats have already recruited over him, but he shouldn't be too worried about White transferring to Cincinnati for several reasons. First, competition is good and, if Pilgrim has somebody like White to go head-to-head against everyday in practice for the next four years, they'll be turn out to be better players. Second, Huggins is at his best when he has a number of players who are versatile enough to play several different positions and, as a result, are interchangeable. Third, White is more of a wing forward/second guard and Pilgrim is more of a wing forward/power forward, so they should be on the court a lot at the same time. White counts towards the five scholarships that Cincinnati has available, for our purposes he does not count towards Cincinnati's recruiting class. Remember, it is our editorial policy not to count transfers when ranking recruiting classes. As a matter of fact, Cincinnati's recruiting class will drop from #5 to #13 in our Final Ranking of the Top Recruiting Classes for the Fall Signing Period. If you will recall, Pilgrim did not play well two weeks ago when we saw him at the War on the Shore National Prep School Invitational and, as a result, we've dropped him in our rankings. In other words, he's gone from being the equivalent of a player in the 11-40 range nationally to a player in the 71-100 nationally, if he were still a high school senior. However, if White were to count, Cincinnati would have the #1-ranked recruiting class nationally.

I don't get it. What's the purpose of the 5/9 rule? Hicks, Kirkland, Bobbitt, KJohnson, Moore last year is 5.....we should only have 4 more. Is there some kind of loophole we're missing?

The only thing I can come up with is that the previous year we only brought in Barker, Maxiell, and Hollman. That makes 8 over that 2 year period. Maybe the rule resets itself and we're now on a new 2 year period.....and if we bring in 5 this year, we can only bring in 4 next year? Is that it? So, maybe the 2 year periods lump together and then you start a new 2 year period?
