Walk on DB Hunter Reynolds put on scholarship
January 27th, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
Does that put the count at 96?? Where are these scholarships coming from?
January 27th, 2019 at 5:08 PM ^
From the heavens, I think.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
Maybe they are just being put on scholarship for the winter semester. Id be pretty worried if we are going to have this much attrition affecting the team next fall.
January 27th, 2019 at 6:23 PM ^
They're coming from the guys who aren't enrolled this semester. Guys who transferred or left for the NFL after fall semester (Singleton, Solomon, Gary, Higdon, Bush, Gentry, etc.) are no longer on scholarship, so Michigan has to use all 85. These walk-ons are simply getting Michigan back to 85 for this semester, and then most/all of them will have to pay their own way in Fall 2019.

I'm sure none of them are complaining about a free semester of tuition
January 27th, 2019 at 6:52 PM ^
I swear this explanation should be made a sticky on this board, as I've seen you do God's work in a couple of threads stating this again.
January 27th, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
One of the walkons made it seem like they will be on scholarship next season as well.
January 28th, 2019 at 8:33 AM ^
That is certainly possible. However, chances are slim that the coaches would guarantee many scholarships to walk-ons in January of 2019 when they could get transfers, grad transfers, etc. between now and August.

does he want to fire arico?
January 27th, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Not sure, still waiting on the gravy answer
January 27th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
Obviously he answered the gravy question correctly thus the scholarship
January 27th, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
Something something doesn’t Harbaugh know how many scholarships he has {wrings hands, clutches pearls}...this isn’t the SEC...we’re better than that...
January 28th, 2019 at 10:52 AM ^
"We're better than that"
No, no "we're" not.
January 28th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
Upvote for the "clutches pearls" alone.
January 27th, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
Pretty awesome that these guys get the winter semester tuition free. They 100% deserve it.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
Congratulations to Hunter Reynolds for doing the work to deserve a scholarship!
And booooooo to anyone who says otherwise.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
Watching the meltdown of scholarship count on here is humorous. ??
January 27th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Pretty awesome, I played college football with his dad and saw his dad at Thanksgiving.
Really happy about this. Hunter comes from a great family.
January 27th, 2019 at 6:04 PM ^
Very cool. These guys desrve it.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
You people do realize these scholarships are for Winter semester ONLY. These do not effect next year's scholarship availability whatsoever. These are basically filling in for the guys that declared early for the draft and the number that we are under to end the year minus the EE's.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:37 PM ^
That’s not how it works I think.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:38 PM ^
That's kinda how it works.
January 27th, 2019 at 7:26 PM ^
The other two are seniors. They're gone by next fall and this is a way to reward them, so it doesn't make a difference.
Reynolds I'm not so sure. Football is a head count sport and you get 85 per academic year. I believe this replaces a player who left school already and Reynolds isn't counted against 2019-'20 unless he earns a scholarship again in fall. But this is a player who's already seen the field and probably would have been at least a 3-star if he was scouted properly. They really like him. I wouldn't discount the possibility of Reynolds being a scholarship player next year regardless.
January 27th, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
Yeah not sure how people haven't realized that yet when this is the 3rd thread we've had about it.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
We don't need no stinkin 5 stars! We have the best walk ons!
January 27th, 2019 at 5:46 PM ^
I would like to announce due to my hard work as a "concern troll" hammer, I have been awarded a scholarship. Looking forward to a great fall!
January 27th, 2019 at 5:47 PM ^
I would like to announce I've entered the transfer portal.
January 27th, 2019 at 5:51 PM ^
I would like to announce I entered the portal with my keys in my pocket .........
you now have 10 minutes to reach minimum safe distance .....

Via a guy with ties to the program who was right about some things last year, Reynolds is for real. PWO Don Brown find who played at Don Bosco and had a Northwestern offer. Used to be a receiver but switched to defense right when evaluators might have caught him, but a top athlete. Only DB to ever give Tarik Black a game in HS.
January 28th, 2019 at 11:10 AM ^
Yeah, I was pretty impressed by his film when he came out of high school. When I wrote about him for the countdown last year, I spent some time watching his film and doing some research on him, and I wondered how he slipped through the cracks.
January 28th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
That's not how I remember it. I remember I was very high on him and you were not understanding why he was getting some buzz. Your reason (which was a good one), that walk-ons rarely contribute or play any meaningful minutes. This still may be the case with Hunter, I don't believe you were impressed in the HELLO HUNTER thread.
I believe he played against T Black (might have him mixed up with some other Michigan commit) in High School and beat him in an epic game.

January 27th, 2019 at 7:37 PM ^
That's a wrap!
January 28th, 2019 at 7:07 AM ^
Can someone tell me what the amount $ is for the winter semester ?
