McDuck No. 5 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I wonder if the brother is expecting a scholarship? Looking at the Liberty Flames site he hasn't recorded a stat in his three years on the team. No information if he got in a game last season but he didn't play during his first two years (one redshirt). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good enough NIL deal may be able to pay his tuition to stay on the roster as a Preferred Walk On, plus room and board, and some "leisure funds"?

Perhaps, but that kind of preferential treatment could easily lead to a totally dysfunctional team. Out of state tuition and fees is slightly more than $40,000. Add in books and the other expenses you mentioned suddenly it is over $75,000 for a warm body that, based on his career to date, probably won't see the field.

Duck1984 No. 10 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I suspect the leverage that a highly recruited player will have on accommodations for family members will be strong. Schools may benefit from a booster controlled non-profit foundation to supplement scholarships and living expenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ploy was mentioned early on by Nick Saban as a possible way to exceed the scholarship cap. This troubles the NCAA. A Miami booster paying every guy on the roster $6.000 a year and TX paying every OL guys $50,000 a year? Nothing to see here, move right along. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuck No. 12 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Interesting move with limited scholarships available. They got the older brother of 2024 #1 edge Elijah Rushing to walk on.

Haywarduck Moderator No. 14 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Where does creativity start and the integrity of the program end. Do you recruit the girlfriend, best friend, brother, high school teammate, dad as a coach, high school coach as a coach, tell him he can play on the basketball team, choose the uniform, hold a uniform number celebration on his arrival, houses, cars, money, or just name a shoe after him? I ask which of these haven't been tried? When does a package deal begin to smell? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck 1972 No. 17 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He's a big body that can be a back up on defense. I don't believe as a transfer he would effect 85 scholarship number. If this helps get a 5* OL to come it sounds pretty smart to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDuck No. 20 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Copy of my post in another thread Abbreviated version from NCAA website, dated October 6, 2021 The Division I Council this week approved a one-year waiver of the annual signing limit and initial scholarship limits in football to allow schools to replace up to seven scholarship student-athletes who leave school after the first term... The waiver addresses concerns about potentially high numbers of college athletes transferring after all student-athletes were given the opportunity to compete immediately after transferring for the first time. It will apply at the end of the first term (students who depart on or after the earlier of the last day of the school's fall term or Dec. 15, 2021, which is the first day of the early National Letter of Intent signing period)... The waiver is effective immediately for the 2022-23 academic year only. The overall scholarship limit remains at 85 for the FBS and FCS. And, in the FCS, the limit of 63 scholarship equivalencies also remains in place. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2021-10-06/di-council-approves-one-year-waiver-football-scholarship-limits 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 21 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Here's a coach O story about the lengths programs go to try to get 5* prospects. I have never heard of this kind of effort. Get out of jail card, I mean move to a different jail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackerbacker No. 22 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Not a person with any inside knowledge but I bet there are a few here that do have some intel. My question is I see Josh Connerly 5* tackle and Lebbeus Overton 5* defensive tackle are both unsigned planning on signing in the near future, both have Oregon listed as a finalist, do we really have a shot with either of these guys? I know Lebbeus is a package deal with his transfer portal brother. I suspect that if either do actually want to be ducks that we will make room for them some how. Any thoughts on this?

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 23 Share Posted February 15, 2022 50/50 at best for Connerly, and a very low probability for Overton; just my guess. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
