If it happens how the Gamecocks could add Tavien Feaster to its roster that has reached the 25 scholarship limit for 2019
April 05, 2019
By the old “blueshirt” rule:
▪ The 85-scholarship limit — A team can only have that many players on scholarship at a given time.
▪ An initial counter limit — A player “counts” initially when they receive a scholarship or financial aid for the first time. A team has a limit of 25 of these per year, but there’s a good bit of flexibility for when players sign and enroll. Players who sign but don’t qualify academically don’t count toward this.
▪ The hard cap rule — A limit of 25 signees per year, with a bit of wiggle room in that mid-year enrollees can count forward or backward toward the current or previous class. This includes student-athletes who sign National Letters of Intent, an institutional offer of financial aid or sign a financial aid agreement for the first time.
Gamecocks are two scholarships under the 85-man limit. So USC is good there.
1. The player cannot take an official visit but can take unofficial ones on his own dime.
2. The staff cannot have an “arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter” with the recruit or his family. (They can talk on the phone or in-person on campus.)
3. The staff cannot extend a written offer for financial aid or a letter of intent.
Assuming everyone clears those hurdles, Feaster could join the team in August and, assuming the team has filled its last batch of initial counter spots, have his scholarship count ahead, making him functionally a part of the 2020 class.
This is how the Gamecocks where able to enrollee Josh Belk and Jamel Cook to sign last summer.
