Official DONU Baseball Off Season Thread

[PonyBoy]

I am under the impression that he is not a walk on at nebraska. I could be wrong but he was not treated as one the last 2 weeks. Also KSU didn’t pull an offer, they pulled a signed contract. Big difference in my opinion.

Lastly, I am excited he is a Husker. Can’t wait to watch him.

He's a walk-on, 0 athletic scholarship allocation to him. That may change after the 2024 season, but he's a w/o.

What you're possibly referencing, and I can find out but it's really worthless to carry this on any further, is the $5,980 "academic bonus" the NCAA allows schools to pay student-athletes. With baseball, it's typically only paid to those on athletic scholarship however, Carter & Alberts have allowed Bolt to use that in rare cases (see Jaylen Worthley last summer as a prime example; walk-on but guaranteed the $5,980 in year one).

What ever happened to the commit we got from the guy on RSS posting about him through junior high? It reached the coaches and contact was made. If I remember right it was a big deal

Ethans younger brother Elliott played at SECC this past season.

Beau is from the KC metro. I don't think there's a relation.

High school baseball arguments are among my favorite type of argument. Dudes get so heated!

I haven't even figured out how the stories are different.

[Snockered69]

Tennessee, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas & South Carolina were all after him. HARD. We made our biggest offer to date, not good enough.
