Depth and that’s about it
It's not hyperbole to say that recruit X could be one of the best ever at NU.
OK, makes sense. Thanks!

Not until the player actually sees the field as i understand it. Then it converts, for lack of a better term. (if that happens in the first 2 years)

In his HUDL film he aggressively engages and locks on his target but in my limited view I didn't see much of him pulling. I suspect a pulling center is a preferred skill set in HCSF's offense.
And to think, I chose not to walk on because I didn't want my academic schollie to count against the team. If I had only known ... SMH ...
Well, that and the fact that I had good speed for a lineman -- and the size of a DB.

I have been perusing all the articles on schollies numbers and such and have this question about Wegener. I understand a walkon playing and not being on a schollie (hence no financial support whatsoever) but Wegener is supposedly attending NU on an academic schollie (per an insider article on a pay site I read earlier today). So here is the question: Is it true that once a player on academic schollie actual plays a down (plays on Saturday, as how it has been stated in other threads) do they then automatically convert over to a athletic schollie? If so, what if the team is at the 85 max?
Additional question: Does he get the 4-game grace period to preserve red-shirt status?
Yep, he could play in four games and still redshirt.
Yes, that an option, but don’t think the 4 game window has an affect how playing time changes a walk on with academic scholarship status. From my understanding any playing time would make a walk-on either drop his scholarship or be moved to scholarship category.
