  • question for the gurus of recruiting

    Does the NCAA allow Division 1 basketball or football players to be on academic scholarship, participate in either sport and not count toward the scholarship limit?

    From the article on Sully's Shockwaves regarding the Evansville recruit, it says "Majors, who’s mulled a walk-on sport at Kentucky with an academic scholarship, could now earn some offers of the athletic kind. The 6-foot-2 guard plans to visit Evansville this weekend."

    If that were the case, why didn't we put EO on academic scholarship and free up another ship for Baker or Armstead?

    Note: I haven't checked the academics of any players, so this is not to imply that Malc or Ron could not qualify for an academic scholarship on their own, just using them as an example because they were said to "pay their own way."
    "I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

    Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
    "We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".

    A physician called into a radio show and said:
    "That's the definition of a stool sample."

    • My understanding is that it is only allowed if the student was never recruited by the school prior to reviving the scholarship. We had our own type of player in Cameron Ledford who fit that case.

        This is exciting news and I think Shaq will have a solid Freshman Season for us. I have a question for Trop, Sub or anybody else that knows. The paper today did mention other Valley teams and recruits they are bringing in. Are their any impact recruits, transfers awaiting to play, or even a special overall high rated recruiting class by any of our Valley foes?
        Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

        • Didn't want to place this post under any particular player's thread, but with Zachary Brown's verbal and sCUm having been one of his suitors, I took a look at they're current recruiting.

          Didn't know they had that many spots open up, but they've added 5 new players, including 2 JUCOs. Wonder what @DoubleJayAlum: thinks about the that?

            When there's a new league where it's imperative to win, the standards are a changing.

              Perhaps these fellas can already read? Not sure if that's a pre-req at CU yet.

              • Shockerneters may be more optimistic about Bradley recruiting and program than Braves fans.

                Link to the specific thread didn't work. Go to the basketball forum and "discouraged to say the least" thread.

                  Not to many rays of light in that thread.

                  Fan A: "4. Fan support- it looks like a nursing home during home games and now with the massive increase in season tickets the administration has made it worse. Just wonder who will fill those seats in 10 years when a large portion of our season ticket base is gone.......Someone talk me off this ledge. Discouraged."

                  Fan B: "Advice from one of the "nursing home" fans: JUMP!!!"

                  By the way @tropicalshox:, I fixed your link in the quote above. My computer didn't like your link at all.

                      • It's been believed Illinois State is about to sign 3 star Mikyle McIntosh who also has offers from UCLA and Miami. RecruitScoop reports a late push by Memphis. Good luck to the Rebirds, hope they get him.

                          He (and Hawkins) have been the talk there for a while and they are hoping to land one of them, most feeling McIntosh is the prime target.

                          • The biggest question about Hawkins is can he obtain a degree from a juco?

                                Hawkins is at a prep school isn't he?
