Future Rosters

[bigticket1]

There is an exception for Freshmen to be able to get a academic scholarship & have it not count toward the scholarship limit.


“NCAA Rules for Academic Scholarships
There is something in the NCAA, it’s called Bylaw 15.02.4.3. This rule states that any financial aid except that which is specifically exempted is going to count as athletic aid and make the student a “counter” in terms of scholarships.

Federal and state financial aid based on need is exempted. Academic scholarships for freshman may be exempted if the students meets one of the following conditions depending on the division:

Division 1

Top 10% of the high school graduating class
Achieve a cumulative high school GPA of at least 3.50
Score 1200 or higher on the SAT or ACT sum score of at least 105”

Doesn't this only work if the freshman is red-shirting ? Similar to what they used to call a gray shirt.

Once a player is on the active roster, I don't think an academic scholarship is an option. You are either on athletic scholarship, or you pay your own way as a walk-on.

Maybe d-2 or something? I don’t know where he’s originally from but maybe there’s a spot open. Or you know, just say to hell with it

Goodbye Trey Buchanan. Decent offensive game but never seemed to get traction here.

Hard to know what may be left in the tank here. It will be almost two years since he has played in an organized game when next season starts. And like in Mfum's case, there are number of guards ahead of him in the pecking order. Plus Mayo coming in.

So right now we have:

Doug Wilson (Does he count for limit?) SR
Tray Buchanan (Will he come back, and does his scholarship count?) SR

Arians JR
Appel JR
Dentlinger (Is he still under academic scholarship?) JR

Feigen SO
Easley SO
Freidel SO
Scheierman SO
Mims SO
Wingett SO

Mayo FR
Lien FR

I am guessing they could find a way to squeeze another player in. It will definitely be interesting to see how they deal with having 6/13 scholarships on one class for 3 more years

I am not sure how the Buchanan slot works. I am not certain if the scholarship for the extra year is there if he does not occupy that slot. Mfum would still be a freshman for his eligibility and that would be an open slot rather than an extension. Wilson is an allowed scholarship extension for next year as a senior who gets that free year. It seemed that only 2021-22 would allow extra scholarships over 13.

[da_coach]

Zeke Mayo is lights out good. Lien I don't know as much about, but a year of prep school is a good thing for a big man, especially.

Wish Willy Mfum a great career wherever he winds up.

That transfer from Nebraska people are mentioning looks nice... but I don't know if we have room for him? with 2 guys coming in? IDK.

[LetsGoRabbits]

this seems kind of a no brainer. of course you do not need to give out the scholarships "just because you can." but if there is a player who will make a difference then you utilize the extra scholarship allowance WITHOUT hesitation

[AZjack]

But it is nice to think about them being included for the future of scholarship limits. COVID will affect schools for years to come just because of scholarships. If everyone has an extra year, how long do schools get to go over on scholarships? What about schools that can't afford to give out more scholarships? This doesn't seem like something that blows over after a year or two. If the Jacks can get down to the limit next year it will be more beneficial down the road for the program.

I'll disagree, if impact players can be found with the available scholarships this year, then use those scholarships to help this team.

[THE PRIDE IS BACK!!!]

Wilson and Buchanon don't count against the scholly limits next year is my understanding.

Is this the 2nd scholarship opening from current roster?

Haven't heard anything about anyone else not returning. The question mark would be Buchanan, who opted out after fall semester. Not sure if that means he is still on campus and just chose not to play, or if he took the semester off from school as well. He is still listed on the roster, which is at 11 after removing Mfum. Adding in the two incoming freshmen would put us at the scholarship limit of 13.
