[QUOTE="FT35, post: 1330590, member: 10675"] It's interesting that he's coming here as a walk on. I remember someone in last year's recruiting thread was saying that we couldn't add graduate transfers because NCAA rules only allow you to extend 25 scholarships each calendar year and graduate transfers are included in that group. This isn't an issue with Dinovo since we didn't extend a scholarship to him. Just looking at the Class of 2017, this makes sense since we are at exactly 25 extended scholarships for the calendar year if we count the early enrollees as getting scholarships this year as they started taking classes in January. This gets convoluted with the "back dating" of scholarships and "oversigning by three". Watkins getting kicked off the team may have opened up the scholarship for Hayes but if we are at the limit then I guess we never expected Lawson to come here? That would also explain the lack of graduate transfers even though we currently only have 76 scholarship players and are 9 under the limit. An OL transfer like Logan Tuley-Tillman would have helped add depth this year as well. Is this what happened here Mike55? Is that why Dinovo didn't get a scholarship? [/QUOTE]
