Do we know for sure that Jefferson will be on athletic scholarship this year? Don't put me in the category of wild XX will give up his scholarship and walk on for his last year theories, but if we really do still have the possibility of landing the two, it could be that the agreement with Jefferson is pay his own way this year with a three year scholarship to follow. I believe current NCAA rules allow the school to provide academic scholarships for which he qualifies and also need based financial aid for which he would qualify while not counting against the scholarship limit as long as he does not participate in a varsity athletic contest. If he's a good student and is entitle to govt. financial need aid, the actual cost of a year might not be that much. That's one way to get around the seemingly scholarship shortage if we are still pursuing Jarreau and his buddy. Might have been a price he was willing to pay to come here, just as Kreklow was willing to pay his own way to come here. I know Jefferson is a commit and it is assumed he would be on scholarship from the get go, but is that official? If he is officially announced as a scholarship, well then in the infamous words of Rosanne Rosannadanna - Never mind.
