I know nothing about NIL. But is it possible to offer a PWO slot and divert NIL funds for the player to pay his own way (room, board, books, tuition, fees) + give him a little extra and not have it count count against the 13 full scholly limit?
My guess is one of those currently listed as scholarshipped will receive PWO status but, like everyone else I'm not fully engaged on the rules, timing, reporting, etc. of those are are scholarshipped.
Well, if RU passes on this guy cuz they sign a better big we are in the mix with 6 other MMs. In that case, do we have any advantages? Clearly, MVC membership could be a factor. And at 6-11, with what appears to be enough agility to get down the floor, he’d fit into a Powell up- tempo style. If he’s ready, he’d get lots of minutes.
So……. let’s see what Rutgers does.
Not to mention the 2 other pick ups form yesterday. Someone in the PWO slot must have been told that their scholarship was going to this guy if singed
I'll sing for him if he will elect to play at Valpo. Do Re Me Fa So La Te Do.
Meet All Wright! Headed to the University of Valparaiso!

So we just added Tyler Schmidt, a 5th year NAIA All-American. I presume he is a walk-on. That makes 9 guards though a couple have size to play the 3. Playing time is going to hard to find unless he decides to do line shifts!

He is a walk on however this has been known since mid to late April. Not new news.
I guess paperwork needed to be done to finalize his enrollment. All Wright was also only recently publicly announced by the school. I presume the same with him.
With the release of jersey numbers today it seems the roster has been finalized. One extra note, looks like 24 has come down from the rafters for one last ride.
Just noticed VU offered a scholarship to a 6'11 Center from Serbia who spent the year at Hamilton Hgts Christian Academy, The offer was made on May19th and he is listed as a 2024 recruit. Thought we did not have any more scholarships.
Looks like a talented prospect but without additional information I'm not seeing the opening, the opportunity fit, or the eventual payoff. Is Paul still on vacation?
Has commited to Florida
Top Valpo target Jack Smiley from Valpo High is transferring to La Lumiere for his senior season. We have had good luck getting kids from these type of schools so at least he is staying close to home we can see his games on a regular basis.

@vu72 word on the street js a buddy from the eybl told him to go. Hope for the best and I assume powell or his scouts will be present at la lumiere.
Jim Peters claims Smiley hopes this move will take him from mid major recruit to high major recruit.
FWIW, Paul just posted a BOOM Tweet from Coach Q. Haven’t the foggiest idea what that means, but, ya know, Booms are Booms.
On top of that the MBB X site just posted a celebratory video. What’s going on?
I have zero knowledge but just throwing this out there for fun since it’s scheduling season: maybe a home and home with butler?
