NIce - congrats. Wonder if this was the schollie freed up by TJ Johnson leaving.
TJ Johnson's spot, no doubt just for this year.
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.
I have my own. This guy makes mistakes often... we've gone over this before.
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.

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.
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.
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
Jim's list includes McPherson but not Fessler. You're including Fessler, Desi Davis, and 1 other that Jim does not include.

The 15 names in BOLD will no longer have eligibility in 2018. They are the reason we have a minimum of 16 spots available.
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.
J McPherson, Desi Davis and Fessler are not currently on scholarship. The linked website is accurate
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.
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.
