If this were accurate, then they'd still count toward the 85 any way. Will does. Paul doesn't. prolly should just take your L (should be used to it by now) and move on.

That is true for any that were recruited. If any "recruited" player attempts to walk on at football and is under any other equivalency athletic or university provided academic/merit scholarship or aid, they are counters toward football 85 limit.

That said, the definition of "recruited" leaves a lot of gray space to still legally talk to and evaluate a player without them becoming "a recruited" player should they walk on.

Also, the roster management aspect of when to bring guys on and off scholarships to roll #s forward or back is a strategy in itself. Some here obviously understand the intricacies of it much better than I (which isn't hard), but Saban has mastered it.

The first early signing period caught him with his pants down just a bit, but the machine has moved back into high gear.

What does this have to do with being offered a scholarship and then being asked to pay your own way?

Reichard was told to greyshirt after thinking he was getting a scholarship. So ya, he has one now.
