Walking on.... Good get!
The article says 2 years no scholly, 3 years with. Assumed redshirt first year but doesn’t get that far into the weeds.I did not read the article, does it say if he’s reporting in January 2020 or is he reporting in June 2020? The reason I ask is because if he reports in June 2020 that means he does not go on scholarship until after the 2021 football season. That would be two years of football not on scholarship period

Gotta love the return of our walk on program. It not only adds depth and a potential starter/contributor now and then, but it solidifies the culture. I love the infusion of these Nebraska kids into the program. Makes me damn proud.
There were many on here a few years back claiming there was no way we could ever resurrect the walk on program and make it something special again. Times have changed we were told. College is too expensive so these kids will gravitate toward the lesser schools where they can get scholarships. Ha. Wrong.
And somewhere Dave Rimington is getting the last laugh.

What I like is he is 6'2' 190 lbs. and can run a 4.49 40 per Hudl
Not to rain on your parade, but I’d hardly call him a walk on if he’s getting a scholarship in 18 months.Gotta love the return of our walk on program.

I was not aware that Tuco was against the walk on program. Are you sure?me too. it just means more.
don't tell Tuco, though.
he's against the idea that just because a kid's from NE means he's got more to play for or will play harder at NU.I was not aware that Tuco was against the walk on program. Are you sure?
Will he have a scholarship next year? No. That is a walk on. Lots of players who were initially walk ons end up on scholarship. The only difference here is that apparently he has been “promised” a scholarship eventually. But I am sure that that is contingent upon performance as well. No way he gets a scholarship in 18 months if he shows up and turns out to be a lazy asshole.Not to rain on your parade, but I’d hardly call him a walk on if he’s getting a scholarship in 18 months.
Ok. Thanks.he's against the idea that just because a kid's from NE means he's got more to play for or will play harder at NU.
I'm not so sure. tough to gauge either way. obviously we've had tons of out-of-state kids come here and become All-Americans and the best players in husker history.
the more in-state kids on the roster, the better, I think.
That’s what worries me. A promise is a promise. Typically I like our walkons to earn their schollys, but so far I think Scott has had a great eye for talent so I trust him.Will he have a scholarship next year? No. That is a walk on.

I'm not an expert on these kinds of things but I am pretty skeptical of the idea of promising someone a scholarship after 18 months. If the kid is worth a scholarship, give it to him now. If he wants to walk on, let him earn a scholarship. We are now in a position where we could possibly find ourselves with a player that hasn't earned a scholly but we promised it, so either we don't honor a promise and damage recruiting connections in the future or we do honor it and have dead weight on the roster.
Hopefully there are at least conditions that make this promise valid. Maybe the kid was giving a rendition of an agreement that sounded more solid than it is.
Yeah. The promise thing is weird. I agreeThat’s what worries me. A promise is a promise. Typically I like our walkons to earn their schollys, but so far I think Scott has had a great eye for talent so I trust him.
^^^^This^^^^I think after his Joe Burrow comments, Frost doesn't want any athletic kids who dream of playing here to get away again.
Gifford and Hahn have the measurables and the work ethic to be great players eventually. They are high-character young men. Even if they don't become stars, at the very least, they will contribute a lot on special teams and add depth and push the other players. We've had a lot of 4-star recruits who didn't last very long over the last decade, so what's the harm in giving these kids a chance who want to be here so much they are willing to turn down other FBS offers?

What promises went to the other 20 walk-ons?Promised, huh. That is if nothing else, an interesting tid bit.
Walking on.... Good get!
Must have missed it... are you telling us (again) that Frost stupidly passed on Burrow? Wow... what an idiot he turned out to be...no problem with walkon grey shirts or whatever
but the lesson of the Burrow situation is keep your mouth shut and don’t make stupid comments that make you and the program look like idiots rather than we should offer every kid with any kind husker tie just because one day they might one turn out to be good
Hahn is a farm kid, I don't think work ethic will be a problem - much like Drew Ott and Nathan Bazata, who we let get away to Iowa. But yeah, I'm guessing Frost said something like he needs to make the 2-Deep or at least contribute heavily on special teams in the first 2 years to earn the scholarship.
I just wonder how Isaiah Stalbird feels though, he actually was on the 2-deep this season as a redshirt freshman and played a lot of special teams - but didn't earn a scholarship so he's in the transfer portal. Is Hahn really a better prospect than Stalbird?
