I don't think we need him now that we have both Dorsey Walker and Okoro on board. If we do have a scholarship open up I would rather we use it on a big man.
This thread is cracking me up! :laugh:
Maybe we can get him in like Floyd got Paul Shirley in, on an "academic scholarship"
That's what you do when all the athletic scholie's are used up.
Hmmmmm...
I would like to see NWC here because Georges wants him here, and it appears that Coach H hasn't pulled his scholly offer.
(That tells me that Coach H wants him too.)
GO CYCLONES:yes:
It appears to me that D-W and Okoro play the same position. I would happily take NWC.I don't think we need him now that we have both Dorsey Walker and Okoro on board. If we do have a scholarship open up I would rather we use it on a big man.
NWC will likely play for Coach H, as in Coach Haith.[/QUOTE]

Now I have to go back and edit my post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought academic scholarships counted against the limit.
They do.

This is stupid, we are in a good position right now, and have filled up our scholarship spots. I doubt he is going to wait around to see if someone will leave the team, and honestly i wouldn't want anyone to leave. I think we have a good bunch as is, might as well delete this thread.

If I twittered, I'd be all over this. We need to get a commit out of him soon - else I think he will keep getting attention from more schools and will slip away.
Depends on the sport. Football and basketball have the same scholarship rules while other sports do not.
Basically any athletic scholarship awarded to a player (regardless which sport) counts against the team limit once they begin play with the team. So if a player has a track scholarship but also plays football, it will count towards the 85 football limit. The exception being if a scholarship is strictly academic. In which case after one year if the student has a 3.3 grade point average it no longer counts against the team limit in football or basketball.
So if walk-ons have academic scholarships, they would count against the team limit the first year they practice/play but then would not count against the team limit if they maintain a 3.3 gpa.
If you click the link below and go to page 205 under the provision heading 15.5 Maximum Institutional Grant-In-Aid Limitations By Sport and read specifically 15.5.1.1 and 15.5.1.2.2 it touches on academic scholarships counting against the limit.
