D1 scholarship offers

To me 0% would be a guaranteed or preferred walkon roster spot.

jbb,

You're getting good at this. Can you design our HSBBWeb Presidential poll (thereby putting Gallup out of business) including 3rd party write-in candidates?

I vote for Julie as president!!!

So, the University of Indiana offered my son a nice scholarship, we drove the 10 hours to get there. Too far away, and too much tuition remaining due to Out of State status.

A few others out in Nebraska and Mid West, but all too far from home. Very happy with the route he chose.

So if he got a D1 offer...then you can add data to the poll - right?!

Of course! And I have! Good job on the rewrite JBB!

I would love to know the details on the players who received 90% and 100%. DI or DII? Pitchers?

Keep in mind that some or many of the 90% or 100% offers may not have been "received"/taken. As in our case, we took less than the top offers for a school that filled more of our criteria.

All of the ones I know with those types of offers are pitchers. I'm sure there must be others, but don't know any.

Actually, you do know one.

My son knows a couple of position players in that range. Both were decent draft picks, but not super high draft picks out of HS...probably because of signability. One played in the college world series and the other on a strong West Coast team, both Freshmen.

Just to add - things could be skewed...

If my son was offerred a 25% at the right D1 Academically - he would take it! It may be a better fit for the academics and worth the additional money....Plus he would get academic money. Overall package would be > 60%.

Would he like 100% - sure who wouldn't. However we would jump for the perfect match and not beat around the bush possibly lose out to another that may just want to play basbeall and don't care about the education.

nobody gets 100 percent

I'm curious that I've not seen ANY mention of a stipend as part of the offer. Only one of several schools that made good offers to my son also included a small stipend. And as my son took a little time to consider his choices, the coach increased the stipend offer a little.

Anyone else have a stipend as part of the offer in addition to tuition, books, fees, room and board?

Really not sure what you mean by a 'stipend?'

Pretty sure an athletic scholarship can't go beyond the items listed above.

Not sure why you say that, but there absolutely are players that get 100% of tuition, books, fees, room and board.

Uncommon, but it does in fact happen.

I know of a school that gives 7-11 fulls and 1-8 partials as a way to compete in recruiting against bigger schools for the big impact guys. And they've been quite successful with that approach.

But there are other players on 100% at other schools as well.

. . . as in discretionary money

Can you help me with the math?

How do you convert a house and a Cadillac trunk full of cash to a percent?

YOU DO NOT

Remember this is recruiting for Baseball not Football or Basketball....

Hopefully people realized that as this is a baseball website and thus a baseball poll.

Not sure what you mean by that. It IS an anonymous poll with lots of precursor statements about only responding with facts.

Full rides do happen. They are uncommon and the poll results reflect that.

I'm not sure what a "stipend" is either, but in principle an athlete can receive total aid up to the cost of attendence.
A full grant in aid is tuition, books, fees, room and board. The player, as justbaseball says, can't receive more athletically related money than a full grant in aid.

The cost of attendence (COA) is a larger number, computed using guidelines provided by Uncle Sam, and includes additional living expenses. An athlete can in principle receive additional money (e.g. governmental grants not related to athletics) up to the COA. If a Pell grant is involved, the limit is a full grant in aid plus the value of the Pell Grant, or the COA, whichever is greater.

Some colleges have varying costs for room and/or board depending on the number of roommates or meal plan. I speculate that a school could give two players the same percentage, but one gets better living circumstances.

The coach's offers was less than 100% of tuition, books, fees, room and board plus what he called a "stipend" of $300 month that was discretionary money. The total did not exceed the COA.

So far, from what I'm hearing, it sounds like a rare kind of thing???

I played four years at LSU and I know of some players who have gotten 100% not all pitchers. I know of a few that got 90% as well.
