[Husker] Scholarship limit question

Does anyone have any insight into the number of recruits vs the 25  
scholarship limit?  I am wondering if:
 
a)  The JUCO recruits count against the class they will graduate with  and 
therefore not against the 25 this year?  OR...
 
b)  Some of the recruits are coming as walkons with the understanding  that 
they might earn a scholarship later?  Can they do that if their class  already 
has 25 and none of the original 25 leave?  OR...
 
c)  Are BC and co. splitting some of the scholarships and giving some  kids a 
partial, ie. books, or tuition, but not both?  A friend of mine from  USAFA 
was recruited by NU in the early '80s and said that was common then, but I  
don't know if it is still done, or still legal?
 
Just asking because Huskerpedia shows us with 30 so far (29 taking away  
Souder the "grayshirt") and there are still a couple more possibles out there  
like Reggie Smith.
 
Apparently they just landed Barry Turner, a 4-star DE from Tennessee, who  
makes 31.
 
Thanks in advance to anyone who can explain the scholarship issue.
