'15 CO OT Dillon Middlemiss (Signed to COLORADO)

We were under 85. He had some extras heading into the season. Walk ons awarded scholarships count back to the class of 25 that their enrollment would relate to.

Thanks, I did not know that.

It's actually a bit more complicated than what I posted. Something like that counting back to a class only applies when awarding a walk-on a scholarship within his first couple years at your school. A senior can basically be awarded a scholarship without limitation as long as you're under 85. To award a sophomore, you'd have to be both under 85 and also under 25 for the class he entered with.

Does MM award walk-ons yearly scholarships, or do they last until the player leaves? Seems like I recall the former being true, but I'm not sure.

By rule, all scholarships were yearly. It will be interesting to see how this plays now that we're seeing 4-year scholarships start. Generally, though, the walk-on scholarship is used to award a senior when the squad is below 85 due to attrition & it's a 1-year deal that won't affect future recruiting slots.

So, by entering in January, he doesn't get 6 years to play 5?

Not sure if this was a serious question, but the answer is no. 5 seasons to play 4. But he get's a full spring before that first season, which is a bonus in his developent.

Well, technically that is 5.5 years, so I'm cool with DBT rounding it to 6.

You say years, I count seasons.

A full spring learning our system and not a fall season playing on the scout team. The extra spring goes a long way in getting a degree and possibly more on CU's dime.

I think Issac Miller is enrolling in the Spring too, isn't he?

Miller, Watanabe and Middlemiss are the true frosh who are on campus already. All the JUCO transfers are January enrollees too.
