Zavier Betts

I dont believe they have to be. Garrett Nelson and others may have declared but he could still be in school working out on campus and working towards his degree. I think in most cases if a player chooses the scholarship is for the full year, even though he is no longer part of the team. Again, I may be wrong

I meant there weren't on the list of 94 names, not that they weren't counters. I agree they are if they are getting aid

Scholly vs. Walk-on:

If he's going to participate in spring football, we will have a scholarship available for him. We are over the 85 number currently and have to shed schollys at some point, but that includes the incoming freshmen who won't be here until next fall. We won't have to have those extra scholarships processed and down to 85 until August.

So we'd be fine putting him on scholarship for the spring semester. If he goes through spring ball, the coaching staff will know his level of commitment and know if he's worth squeezing him into the 85 in the fall. There's almost no downside here for a potentially big payoff.

Good point

My recollection is the NCAA let's you do funny math in the spring to pay for kids who are just finishing up while getting new guys in that technically don't have open spots yet

There has to be some sort of “plan” to get back to 85 by 6/1 if I recall. I’m sure there is some action plan they have to fill out that the NCAA totally reads.

when there's a coaching change new coaches can cut players while they still get the rest of their school paid for. whatever number we're at, it will be down to 85 once the dead weight is let go

They really can’t though. The NLI is a 4 year deal between the SA and university. The new coach can’t come in and break that agreement. He can strongly encourage them to take the “retirement package” that allows them to get their school paid for after they quit football.

Maybe that’s what you’re meaning.

The rule they’ve been using — 15.5.1.7 — is known as the “Aid After Departure of Head Coach” bylaw. Newly hired coaches can remove a player from their 85-man scholarship roster but keep them on scholarship as long as they stop playing.

he likely won't come back without a schollie in hand, so that would kill this idea. You'd need to have him be willing to participate this spring as a paying student under your plan.

Or 1890 might foot the bill for tuition if they’re seriously giving him a shot at returning.
I don’t see the lack of a schollie being an issue in the current landscape.

So Chule that his recruiting edits have him in them! Not many recruits get them that personalized.

Just exchanged a few texts with someone as close as it gets to the situation. Zavier is registered and fully enrolled. He is taking 18 credit hours and also will be participating in Spring ball, but his primary focus will be on school.

Zavier is the one who initiated this. He has gone through *it* a bit recently and reached out over the holidays for help and make a change. Those close to him are hopefully that this was a true wake-up call for him.

18 hours is quite a load for someone who has historically struggled with school and just trying to get back in the saddle.
It would be awesome if this works out and he's able to pick up where he left off.

I'm assuming the family source is the same as mine. Which means that they texted me first, then Mitch 😁 😁 😁
