TJ Johnson's spot, no doubt just for this year.0 idea how they are under 85...
NIce - congrats. Wonder if this was the schollie freed up by TJ Johnson leaving.
They were still 3 over before. Unless some of those schollies from the spring were only for one semester and now some of the RS SR's are paying for their own grad classes.TJ Johnson's spot, no doubt just for this year.

Really cool site bdgan, tjanksI always go by this: http://www.jimspennstatefootball.webs.com/PSUSchols.htm
Maybe he is using John Urschel as a consultant.Maybe once CJF gets a break he'll teach a grad course in scholarship numbers mgmt

Sorry 2 over. Still are, unless McPherson and Fessler were only for the spring. But there are definitely tweets saying they got them last spring.Please tell me about the 4 scholarship players he doesn't have listed. I'm not saying the guy is perfect but his total was 85 until T.J. Johnson left.

Question: Does John Reid count against the 85?
I know he's still on scholly but am not clear, because of his injury status, whether he would count against the limit.
He counts.

According to bdgan referenced site we have a total of 31 scholarships available in 2018 class. 16 plus those names in BOLD. That is really good news
Sigh, there are two McPherson's... his list only has 1Jim's list includes McPherson but not Fessler. You're including Fessler, Desi Davis, and 1 other that Jim does not include.
Then that's the difference. J. McPherson, D. Davis, & Fessler. Jim might be wrong but then we need know how PSU can have more than 85.Sigh, there are two McPherson's... his list only has 1
Desi Davis just got a scholarship. The website currently lists 84 scholarship players, which reflects Johnson leaving and Davis and Smith with scholarships. Davis makes it 85 - which makes sense if Fessler and Josh McPhearson's scholarships from earlier this year were only for the spring semester.J McPherson, Desi Davis and Fessler are not currently on scholarship. The linked website is accurate
No sh!t Sherlock. Period. Period. Period. You got more periods than a sorority house. The issue wasn't understanding the rules. It is reconcilling the tweets and press releases from the spring also granting other walk ons scholarships. At the time I suggested that a few of them would be spring only and every Tom, Dick, and Harry on this board then said "Oh they don't do spring only scholarships." Well, it looks like they do. Get off your high horse.Agreed. I can't understand how some can have such difficulty with this concept. Penn State does not get some special dispensation from the NCAA to go over the 85 scholarship limit.
Penn State has 82 student-athletes who were recruited as scholarship players (who are still active members of the squad). They all count towards the 85. Only those who are no longer part of the team - Chance Sorrell, perhaps Brendan Brosnan - no longer count. Period.
Therefore, the maximum number of non-scholarship recruits (walk-ons) who can be awarded athletic scholarships is three. Period.
Which three those are? Unless you have access to the inner workings, no one knows for sure. My personal best guess is Brandon Smith, Tyler Davis, and Desi Davis, and that the link posted earlier is likely accurate. But - in any event - it simply cannot be more than three.
