Minnesota to start true freshman walk on QB

[Delco Lion]

Interesting story. This is the QB who beat out the much hyped Art Sidowski at IMG. Turned down a scholarship at Pitt.

Weird. I wonder if they somehow increased aid to the older brother in order to avoid using a scholarship on this kid.

I would think he has been promised the opportunity to quickly earn a scholarship.

That’s a pretty neat story. Especially the part about choosing to pay for college over a free ride to Pitt.

I don't believe partial scholarships are allowed in football. His brother either has a full scholarship or he's a walk-on as well.

Yeah, because Pitt is the focal point in this story to some. Not that the kid wanted to go back home. Not that he had already told the coaches he would be there and did not back out of his verbal.

Pitt can't fill it's stadium but it seems to fill the head of good number of BWI posters.

True. $1 in athletic aid counts the same as a full scholarship in FB

Moronic to point that at me. Look through the many, many Pitt threads and see how many comments I have made. Not many. Pitt is not filling my head. Good for you if you read that story and didn’t get a chuckle out of a kid choosing to pay for college over a free ride to Pitt.

Well, why would he go to Pitt if he’s just going to sit behind future All-World, 1st round pick, Tom Brady will wish he was Kenny Keychain?

Well, I guess if the parents have the cash, they’re probably happy to pay instate tuition for the kid to be starting QB at dads alma mater.
