*** 2017 Recruiting ***

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?

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?

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.

But doesn't it work the same since his dad is going to be a University Employee, meaning free or reduced tuition?

 
What stops them from walking on and having the family just pay for school? Give the coach a little pay bump

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.

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.

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.

 
Thus why I quit listing 40 times in profiles unless they are a verified time from a recruiting combine:

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.
