    his adopted family in grove bought him out of slavery in Ghana when they were on a mission trip. brought him back to grove and he's been with them since. I'd say after 10 years of being a real-life slave, he will have a little more mental toughness than your average player.
    Count me in as a fan.

      May be a tough year or two for high school players and recruiting.
      Really only affects walk-ons. Scholarship number increased from 85 to 105. In fact, it practically kills the walk-on kids

        30 walk on D1 kids is likely 30 that can play at D2. Now whether or not they choose that route has to be seen. But I’d guess that a sizable number of the studs at D2 were able to be a preferred walk on at their instate D1 and chose to go d2.

          True, I know from direct experience that many D2 players are passing on 'preferred walk-on' spots at FCS & FBS schools.

          What I don't understand is the classification in D1 football scholarships. They went from 85 Headcount scholarships to 105 Equivalency scholarships that can be split among players. If they've got 105 Scholarships to hand out to the 105 man roster - why would they need to split scholarships? Is that how they are going to keep 125 guys around the program? If that's the case - then D1 Walk-Ons are now partial scholarship guys?

            This the first I’ve heard of equivalencies. Last I knew it was still head count.

              The way I understand it is that there is a strict 105 roster limit. There is now 105 full scholarships available, but teams still have flexibility in how they distribute that, meaning they don’t have to give everyone a full. I’m not sure what the incentive not to would be… maybe they can’t if they’re unable to fund and equal amount of scholarships to women’s sports?

                I've seen it referenced so many times that I figure they can't all be wrong. In fact, ALL sports that were 'headcount' sports are now 'equivalency ' sports. Some sports received huge increases in scholarship limits. [Like baseball]
                Of course, raising the limits doesn't guarantee that all schools will fully fund the additional scholarships.

                Meanwhile, just for grins, I checked out the tuition totals for the recently completed FCS Final Four. All 4 schools in-state number was about $9K. Out of state for the 3 Dakota schools is about $14K, while Montana St is at $33K for out-of-state.

                  Big time get for UCM with Morgan Pearson from Colorado transferring to the Mules. He was a 3* linebacker out of high school with offers from Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Colorado, Iowa State, and Illinois State. Also had a baseball offer from Oklahoma State. Crazy athlete with lots of potential. Redshirted his first year at Colorado and switched to TE this past season as a RSFr. Looks like they have him as a TE for now at UCM but with his skills I could see him moved to WR or LB.

                    • Gundy is going to coach at Oklahoma State and not play.

                      Also Jack Dawson from FHSU has committed to Arkansas Tech. Not much of a surprise as former FHSU backup QB Ethan Forester was there this past year. Played some before getting hurt. It'll be fun to follow them again this year. Forester was a good QB just behind Dawson and Heavner. So it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Wish him the best!!

                        • Does anyone know where Luke Sampson (MSU - QB) transferred to? I thought that kid was pretty good, and I had hoped he would transfer to UCM for his senior year (didn't happen).
