Ultimately yes, but he could start out as a TE Why the rush at buking this guy up? We aren't in a critical situation yet. If the true tackle prospects come into the program we won't go to Def -Con -1couchburn
Depends on how Shafer views the kid. Frankly, he's a Project with capital "P". With that comes lots of risk. The kid has never played...ever. So looking at the risk, he may just be a reach offer that is easy to pass on given the kid is not in love with the Cuse. While it's good he seems to value the scholarship... seems also like this is about him finding a free ride and hard to know how much football fortitude he has.
Or that there is someone else out there that we don't know about . . . just like this kid, a week ago.
As long as figuring in the allotment of early enrollees that we can count against 2012 we don't exceed 25 for 2013 it would be
Not sure. I think Barrett practiced for a week with the team in 2012 before leaving (although I think he's still enrolled in school), so I'm not sure if his 2012 scholarship can be reassigned to a January 2013 enrollee. Barrett didn't take part in Spring Ball, so at this point maybe he changed his mind again.
However, here's where things get funky...
Marrone used up all of his 2012 scholarships. But I think there's NCAA rule where if a walk-on has been on the team for at least 2 years, he can be given a scholarship and it won't count towards the 25 annual limit. I'll check through the latest handbook later tonight.
If the scholarships given to Jarrett and Anene don't count, then two of our January enrollees count towards 2012 ... leaving the Class of 2013 at 23 recruits right now.
Meaning that there's still room at the inn.
Now you see why my antacid bill is so high.
Thinking the same thing. He could be a diamond in the rough and become an amazing find and story. Or he could end up a kid that doesn't like to get hit and just use up a scholarship for as long as he is on campus. Or anything in between.
