Can I get cliff notes for the blue shirt grey shirt difference


Gray shirt waits to enroll in school until spring term. Not on campus, no practice, obviously can't play. Counts against next year's limit.

Blue shirt can't take an official visit and can't be visited by coaches. Can visit, but school can't pay for it. He enrolls, shows up for fall camp, and goes on scholarship.

Counts against the 85 total but not the yearly limit. In effect, a walk-on that earned a scholarship the day he showed up.

Blueshirt can enroll in summer and pay their own way for summer (like preferred walk-on) or show up for fall camp. Once fall camp starts,they can be given a scholly if one is available under 85 total cap and it counts against the next year 25 class cap.


But Parks can not blueshirt if he received a scholarship offer or took an OV to UA.

Blueshirt is basically preferred walk-on that can then get a scholarship, right?

I had no idea who else he was choosing between, so when he pulled out that hat with whatever is written on it I was like "It's red... red is good. but is it Bama?!"

I heard that Rob Foster was at a team function recently. I wonder if they told Parks that would be his scholly come fall.

I lied earlier about not watching it and I tried to watch that one but the stream got so bad on my phone it didn't look like an Alabama hat.. scared me to death for a sec. I was so filled with regret.

Lol. Same here. I figured Bama from the reaction. But on my phone, I couldn't tell if it was Bama, Oklahoma, or Nebraska.
