Actually may upgrade with the open scholies if cards fall right
Agree. The bottom line is that the mid-year JUCOs and December H.S. graduates will be 'closed' after Friday. Anyone not signed by Friday won't start school on scholarship until Summer.
As '79 indicates, we still have scholarships and may pick up say a couple and can give them out in February for the 2018/9 academic year.
Might be a good time to hold one to 1 or 2 to see if a possible B1G caliber recruit falls.
As far as Grissom, Mackay, etc. they can be given scholarships in February IF they are only for 2018. IF the scholarship is for 2nd semester, they have to be 2017 carryover scholarships.
The BIG question and no one has raised it, is where is EMU going to get 8 or 9
2017 scholarships to give incoming January student-athletes???? I'd guess we have some in the bank from players who did not play this year (e.g., Jones, Grissom, Mackey, etc.) plus others who may have a 2017 scholarship but left the squad after 2016 season.
Remember, scholarships given out in February are for the following academic year.
Will some start school on their own $ until summer when they go on scholarship???
