That's this guy (Rivals).

 

Offers from Fresno St., Arizona, Boise St., Cal, Colorado St., Houston, La Tech, Memphis, Missouri, SDSU, Tulane, Utah, and Washington St. Not so shabby.

Be on schollie or walk-on? Be nice if can add some good WR depth without burning a schollie. I'd think his Dad can probably swing the tuition.

Not a bad offer list at all. Looked to be heavily recruited by Jim McElwain while he was at Colorado St. Anyone who's been coached all of his life by Coach Williams has to be good right?

I don't think they will have to use a scholarship on him. Im pretty sure employee family members go to school basically for free. I think technically it's a dollar per credit

They pay instate rates.

False. Or the Cotton boys wouldn't have been on scholly.

Will help us keep Coach Williams around for the next few years at the very least. That is worth a scholarship alone.

I'm guessing he is going to walk on so that he is eligible immeadiately. (I think thats how it works) If he takes a scholly, then he has to sit out a year and won't be available until 2017, his RS Jr year.

Didn't Baker Mayfield have to sit out a year at OU even though hs was walking on? That might be a Big 12 rule though.

No, it doesn't matter, if he transfers to a D-1 from another D-1 school he will have to sit out a year.

Here we go with this freaking argument. If he's good enough to have a scholarship, give the kid a scholarship. I felt the same way with the Cotton kids.

THanks. I thought walk-ons didn't have to sit. My bad.

That's because he was transferring within the conference. Came from Texas Tech

To me, it has less to do with whether the kid is good enough to be on scholarship versus the coach/father having the resources (and you'd assume desire) to not burn the additional scholly.
