I don’t know what the scholarship percentage was, my son made all the arrangements. I paid a bit under $5K for the year at Arkansas, so I guess he did a pretty good job negotiating.

FWIW some coaches will offer almost a full ride to draft prospects and super 2 prospects (eligible 21 year old player end of sophmore year), or 3 years then you pay the 4th year if not drafted. If they really want you they will try to get it done.

I didn't really think about it, but he was drafted in 2016, and turned down more than the cost of 4 years at Arkansas for that single junior year season - so they likely took care of him. It all was a blessing, he moved up 15 rounds in 2017 and had year as a Razorback that was worth more than money to him.
