SouthLincoln Husker Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Not unusual to give walk-ons a single semester when one becomes available. And we have a couple available! Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not unusual to give walk-ons a single semester when one becomes available. maybe, I just don't remember hearing about it though. I can't think of any others. Usually we hear about these things mid-summer. Quote Link to comment

I can't think of any others. Usually we hear about these things mid-summer. We usually hear about the ones who are permanently on scholarship in mid-summer. The semester-long ones are not always announced. Only through the magic of Twitter do we hear about them. Quote Link to comment
FrankWheeler Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Based on the numbers I'm coming up with there is only one scholarship left. If they take 2 more and Harrison ends up coming then the semester scholarship makes sense for Williams. Seems like there are always one or two that don't end up qualifying for one reason or another so it will work itself out in the end. Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 3 open scholly's left - OT, DE, and DB. I think we end up getting Frison and a DE and missing on a DB. That leaves 25 commits, with Harrison included. I feel pretty confident about that outcome. Quote Link to comment

Just have to be under 85 by the time fall camp comes around...so guys possibly leaving (Guy, Afalava, Moss, TobiO, etc), been mentioned that AWilliams and Burtch were possibly put on 1 semester schollys for now, and some might not make it to campus like Harrison (MLB) and Stewart (reported possibly academic problems). Plus I believe we could have possibly put Keels, Cockrell and maybe Darlington into last years since they enrolled early. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Plus I believe we could have possibly put Keels, Cockrell and maybe Darlington into last years since they enrolled early. Agree that those three could go towards last year meaning we could go up to 28 so the one-year limit won't be a problem. Just have to see who all is in the 85. Quote Link to comment

It doesn't matter where you put Keels, Cockrell and Darlington, they can all go onto last year's count but they still have to be under 85. Accounting for all of the guys leaving that you mentioned above, with the Williams and Burtch scholarships and all of the guys that have verbally committed we have 1 spot left on the 85. Which is why I mentioned "If they take 2 more and Harrison ends up coming then the semester scholarship makes sense for Williams." Quote Link to comment

Yes 85 by the time fall roles around, not now I think take 3 more Frison McClain Blair/Avery/Bush Quote Link to comment

Has to be hard for the coaches since they want everybody to make it - I'm guessing that's when the Williams and Burtch schollies would turn into semester deals? Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ya, my understanding is they told Burtch and Williams that they are only for this semester and not guaranteed after. So they know what's going on, Bo wouldn't screw them over. Quote Link to comment
FrankWheeler Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Interesting to watch things evolve. Looks like the coaches still want to take another QB. I think its looking more like QB, DL & 1 more. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think its looking more like QB, DL & 1 more. Yeah, we're obviously looking for DL and seem to looking for a QB pretty hard. Maybe a QB or WR who could move to DB as well. Quote Link to comment
