Wasn’t really a commitment, was it ?

[Marty]

Losing a walk on?? Could be mutual.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Well considering he was a grad transfer and saw that he wouldn’t be getting many minutes, maybe that’s the reason.

Who knows, but I am excited to see how crazy we go in the portal soon

Well, it is time.

[Wag Tag]

I could see holding a scholly for a late portal commit that may have fallen thru the crack.

[GrandGreen]

If this player was a walk on, whether he  comes to NT or not would not affect the scholarship level.

My guess is he hopes to get a sholly somewhere.

Seems like the discussion of a scholarship would be about the second thing a player and a recruiter-coach would talk about.

Vito says he was not a walkon.

It’s hard to imagine a scholarship was ever officially offered to a dude who was not actually in the transfer portal.

The transfer portal is only a requirement for NCAA D1 athletes. Arcadia is like DIII. Not even sure he was on scholarship there.

That’s a good point. I wasn’t sure but my point was that I didn’t think we could legitimately recruit and offer guys who were actively on their current other NCAA teams. And yeah I always thought DIII did not offer scholarships. Either way just seems like a lot of hand wringing over guys who weren’t actually in our rotation or never clearly offered/signed.

[Coach Andy Mac]

Why does everyone keep pussyfooting around about whether a dude if offered or walk on?  Seems like a charade.  It’s still honorable to be invited to walk on to a division 1 school no?

[Cooley]

If I remember correctly, the female soccer player from Purdue had already committed to UNT as a grad transfer. She was still kicking field goals and extra points for the football team; garnering national headlines.

"HONOR" doesn't count towards your schollie limit.

Nor does pay your tuition

I know of several DII basketball players that are in the transfer portal , I an sure they go through the same process as DI players do.

Not required

[GrayEagle]

Division III does not offer athletic scholarships.

[GrandGreen]

Not sure what D3 or the transfer portal has do with whether he was offered a ship or not.  

I doubt he was offered anymore than a pwo.   However, he would have been an interesting player to watch.

Does not matter he is going elsewhere and McCasland has a lot of scholarships to award.
