I highly doubt even the top 5 recruits were offered full scholarships it is just not the way it works currently. That does not mean that these players are not getting a full ride they must be able to find other ways to fund the education that do not come from the athletic department. It is true that the math makes full scholarships near impossible and hurt the team. Why would any coach do this? A school works around this with academic, financial, merit, alumni, endowment scholarships. Consider this year's top HS player based on the eye ball test from the UA game: Tehoka Nanticoke. He is currently at IMG. Either his parents are extremely wealthy or they offer a scholarship. Albany has money set aside for a variety of reasons, his application is the first submitted and get's the first approval. This is not a violation in any way of NCAA rules. This is how it works. IVY league schools offer zero in Athletic scholarships yet always find the best Lacrosse Players. Good players use LAX to find the other money that is out there.
Finally someone who understands how it works! Coaches can find money in a variety of different places depending on each kids specific situation
