Red Five Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Looks like he is 2016 recruit? He can be a walk on. Doesn't matter if he plays a down or not. Doug McDermott walked on for a year. Wasn't Cody Hawkins a walk on at CU back in the day? Quote Link to comment
DrunkOffPunch Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Maybe this has been covered elsewhere, but.... Alex Parrella is a 6'4" 215 LB/TE that is uncommited. Could he walk-on without a scholarship? My understanding is he could be a walk-on as long as he doesn't see the field...Once he plays, he would have to be considered on scholarship. Correct or not? http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4454764/alex-parrella That's for scholarships the university gives out not pertaining to football. Examples being dual sport players or guys on academic scholarships. Essentially you can't be on a baseball scholarship or academic scholarship play snaps in football and not count towards the 85. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the rule. Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I thought that's why Williams' son had to have a scholarship? Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 What stops them from walking on and having the family just pay for school? Give the coach a little pay bump Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Idk and yes I meant he is a 2016 Quote Link to comment

Wow, completely didn't register to me that it's John Parrella's kid when I first commented. Sorry about that. I believe what you stated is true though; he can walk-on and not count towards the 85 as long as he doesn't play. Again, I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment

Doug McDermott was a walk on his senior year at Creighton to free up a scholarship. He had to pay tuition, couldn't take the reduced tuition rate he would have had for a family member being an employee of the school. So Alex could walk on, and his family would just have to foot the tuition bill every year. At least that's how I understand the workings of this. Quote Link to comment

Yeah but doesn't that also limit the player's access to the other benefits included in a scholarship such as the meal program? If that is the case, I can see that being a bigger problem in FB over BB. Quote Link to comment

YetiJR Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thus why I quit listing 40 times in profiles unless they are a verified time from a recruiting combine: In fairness, a lot of kids will lose some speed as they get bigger/stronger. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Have to admit, I'm a little burned out on offers. We have offered an amazing number of kids in the last month. At this point, other than s few, there is no way of knowing if any are even interested. Quote Link to comment
