I haven't heard about this kid and can't find anything online about him. But it looks like he got an offer from Marquette and Harry Froling is trying to convince him to come (he's from Australia too). Anyone know anything about him?

The pictures in the tweet show he got offers from a lot of BE teams and also Oregon, Arizona, Tenn, and other high majors so I'm guessing he's got to be pretty good. Weird there's nothing online. Gotta say I love the Aussie pipeline either way.

I think those were acceptance letters in the pic, not basketball scholarship offers. Walk-on candidate, maybe.

Quick search got this- http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/jacob-rose/zSbwErMCEeS-8KA2nzwbTA/gendersport/basketball-stats.htm

Don't think this is an actual player. Most likely just a walk on.

Wojo liked the tweet. He said he had 8 scholarship offers. Maybe academic scholarships though.

You have to do the search with an Austrailian accent.

Don't think he could play basketball, then. Walk-ons can't receive academic scholarships.

Jalen Rose have any eligibility left?

True, but he could practice with team. The first year would be like a redshirt year. You give him a basketball scholarship the next year, if he is good enough.

Not true, walk-ons can receive academic scholarships, they just have to be rewarded through the normal application process independent of any athletic consideration.

You could be right but I thought there was a rule against it. Otherwise, why offer a basketball scholarship to someone like Markus Howard? 4.0 GPA in High School, graduated in 3 years. Likely could have earned a full academic scholarship.

Have him walk on, give him an academic scholarship, free up another basketball scholarship.

Clearly they are recruiting him to be a walk on then...no other reason for Wojo to like the tweet...

A lot of this is prestige related. Also, the academic scholarships are quite competitive and not necessarily full-rides. They are also decided quite late in the process and have continuing requirements regarding academic progress that are far more strenuous than athletic requirements.

If someone is being recruited you want them to have a guarantee early in the process and a guarantee that is related to athletic progress. The athletic scholarship is a guarantee. No top recruit is going to declare to a school on the possibility of an academic award.

Because that would get you investigated by the NCAA. Marquette doesn't want that.

Walk ons can get scholarships and all other sorts of financial aid.

I misunderstood the rule. Thank you.

Unless you decide to go to Princeton or Harvard or one of the other Ivies. Didn't we try to recruit someone who went to Harvard?

Briefly, I believe we offered Zena Edowansom (sp?) who was a top-100 kid that Amaker landed. Harvard has found ways to essentially make school free for major basketball recruits, though you'd think that would be helping him more considering Ivy recruiting restrictions.

Yes, they can, as long as they weren't recruited.

Not if they are in their first year at the institution and meet the definition of recruited. Have to earn a 3.0 too.
