Tide legacy Braxton Barker fulfilling childhood dream with UA pledge (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Alabama didn’t sign a quarterback in its 2018 class. It did, however, accept a preferred walk-on commitment from Spain Park (Ala.) signal caller Braxton Barker.
The son of former UA quarterback Jay Barker, Braxton took an unofficial visit to Tuscaloosa the weekend prior to National Signing Day before making his decision.
“It’s awesome being able to fulfill a childhood dream of mine of playing at the next level,” Barker told BamaOnLine. “Especially being at Alabama where my dad played, it’s pretty awesome. Just following in his footsteps … both my parents went there, my brother is there now, and possibly my sister and younger brother could end up there. Just being where they were and going to the place I grew up watching is pretty cool.”
The Tide legacy’s trip to the Capstone was all he needed to see to make his choice.
“After talking to all the coaches and sitting down with Coach (Nick) Saban, Coach (Brent) Key, and Coach (Dan) Enos, the new quarterback coach, it seemed like that was the best choice to make,” Barker said. “It was pretty clear after the visit that that’s what I wanted to do. They said that I’ll have a good chance to come in and get reps just because of the numbers they have right now.”
Barker gave his thoughts on Alabama’s new assistant in Dan Enos.
“He was awesome,” Barker said. “We talked about the game a lot. He’s definitely really knowledgable. He was really good at Arkansas. He played at Michigan State. He played the position of quarterback and has coached it for a long time, so I know he knows a lot. Some of the different stuff he was talking about, the drills he was talking about, seemed really cool to me. He’s someone I think would be a really good coach for me.”

Didn’t Barker have some non-P5 but D1 offers?
Might have worked out for the best to have missed on QB in 18 if we can capitalize in 19 with that saved scholarship and hit at QB too.

It'd be nice to get the grad transfer QB Minshew tho for insurance. I'm gonna do some google research to see if 1-year grad transfers take an initial counter spot from a yearly 25 limit. It doesn't seem like you should have to give up a spot that could be used to sign a 4-year player to take one who has only one year of eligibility. If one of our RS SRs transfers out, dropping us from 85 to 84, it seems only fair that we should be able to take him without taking a yearly 25 limit hit.
ETA: According to NCAA Bylaws (posted below) there is no exception for graduate transfers with only one year of eligibility. They are considered inital counters against the annual limit of 25.

Yeah, that seems like a shitty rule if true. Would mean you could give a scholarship to a walk-on and it not count but a grad transfer would.
Who knows though. If true, I’m guessing we’d be pretty judicious with giving a grad transfer scholarship (may be why we didn’t give the kicker one though he seems to be needed).
Would probably mean we are going to take at most one grad transfer DL.

You can't do that either. A walk-on has to be starting his third year or later for a scholarship to not count against the initial 25. Grad transfers only get 1 year so theirs counts. They never make it to that point. The rule is applied pretty equally.

NCAA Bylaws: Signing and Counter Limits
NCAA Bylaws sections concerning FBS signing and counter limits are posted below. The basic 25/85 (initial/total) scholarship limits are fairly common knowledge, but to help clear up some common misconceptions about them, here are six important things to understand:
1) Transfers (all types) do count toward annual signee and initial counter limits. There's nothing in the Bylaws stating that transfers are exempt. Per section 13.9.2.3, both prospective student-athletes and student-athletes (all-inclusive) do count toward the signee limits. 15.02.3 defines "counter" as an individual (all-inclusive) who is on a countable scholarship. 15.02.3.1 defines “initial counter” as a counter (all-inclusive) who is receiving an initial countable scholarship.
2) Non-qualifiers who signed an NLI still count against their original signee spot and then count against the corresponding initial counter spot at that school if/when they enroll there after JUCO.
3) Grayshirts (15.5.6.3.2) — Deferred enrollees (after fall term) may count toward signing and initial counter limits for the next academic year.
4) Blueshirts (15.5.6.3.4) — The signings limit (effective for the 2018 cycle) ends the ability for non-recruited (no OV, no off-campus meeting, no NLI; 15.02.8) players to receive fall scholarships (within the 85 limit) and count toward the next year's initial counters limit because they'll count toward the current academic year's signing limit (post explaining potential blueshirting loophole).
5) Early enrollees (15.5.6.3.5) that are midyear replacements for December or prior academic year graduates may be counted against unused prior cycle signee and initial counter spots. FBS schools may only use the midyear replacement option if they had 85 counters in the fall term.
6) Non-athletic aid (15.5.6.3.7) — A recruited player (OV, off-campus meeting or NLI; 15.02.8) on non-athletic scholarship only counts toward signee and initial/total limits if/when he plays in a game. Exception (15.5.1.2.1) — A recruited player on academic scholarship, after one year with a 3.0/4.0 GPA, may then play and remain a non-counter. Apparently, a non-recruited player on non-athletic aid may play as a non-counter.
Note: A forum search for "NCAA Bylaws" will retrieve some additional explanatory posts.

13.9.2.3 Limitation on the Number of National Letter of Intent/Offer of Financial Aid Signings. [FBS] For the football bowl subdivision, there shall be an annual limit of 25 on the number of prospective student-athletes who may sign a National Letter of Intent or an institutional offer of financial aid and student-athletes who may sign a financial aid agreement for the first time. (Revised: 4/26/17 effective 8/1/17 for signings that occur on or after 8/1/17)
13.9.2.3.1 Application. [FBS] A prospective student-athlete who signs a National Letter of Intent (NLI) or an institutional offer of financial aid or student-athlete who signs a financial aid agreement that specifies financial aid will be initially provided in the fall term of an academic year shall count toward the annual limit on signings for that academic year. A prospective student-athlete who signs a National Letter of Intent (NLI) or an institutional offer of financial aid or student-athlete who signs a financial aid agreement that specifies financial aid will be initially provided during the second or third term of the academic year may count toward the limit for that academic year or the next academic year. (Revised: 4/26/17 effective 8/1/17 for signings that occur on or after 8/1/17)
15.02.3 Counter. A “counter” is an individual who is receiving institutional financial aid that is countable against the aid limitations in a sport.
15.02.3.1 Initial Counter. An “initial counter” is a counter who is receiving countable financial aid in a sport for the first time. (See Bylaw 15.5.6.3 in football for instances in which the institution is permitted to defer the counting of such financial aid until the following academic year.)
15.02.8 Recruited Student-Athlete. For purpose of Bylaw 15, a recruited student-athlete is a student-athlete who, as a prospective student-athlete: (Adopted: 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)
(a) Was provided an official visit to the institution’s campus;
(b) Had an arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter with a member of the institution’s coaching staff (including any such encounter with the prospective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians); or
(c) Was issued a National Letter of Intent or a written offer of athletically related financial aid by the institution for a regular academic term.

[FBS/FCS] A student-athlete recruited (see Bylaw 15.02.8) by the awarding institution who enters in the fall term and receives institutional financial aid (based in any degree on athletics ability) during the first academic year in residence shall be an initial counter for that year in football. Therefore, such aid shall not be awarded if the institution has reached its limit on the number of initial counters prior to the award of institutional financial aid to the student-athlete.(Revised: 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)

You sir are truly an Evolved Simian.
Thanks for the info/education.
Makes sense why we have given several 3rd/4th year walk-ons scholarships over the past few years.
