Pollock signed his financial agreement
- Thread starter vkj91
- Start date
Does that mean he will enroll in January? I remember Bateky doing this the same time last year and he enrolled in Jan.
It also commits the player as he could no longer go to another B1G school.
What he signed is called a B1G Ten Tender of Financial Aid and the easy translation is we are now bound to our offer to him. I could share the wording from the tender as I am holding a copy of my sisters right now, but then I would have to ... well you know.

This is not true. He can't go anywhere in the Big Ten(which was the true part) but he's able to go to any other school if he wants to outside of the Big Ten. He's not officially ours until he signs his LOI which I don't believe is what he signed today. So technically he could renege before he enrolls.
yes, that is correct but I was not even considering that he would do that. We are bound to our offer to him, he could renege.
I do not believe he can sign his NLI until first Wed in February which would be moot since he would be enrolled here already. Mid year JC transfers signing period starts 12/16 but regular students have to wait for Feb.
Also, we are the only school that can publicize his signing since we were first (and hopefully only).
"I can't wait to play for Coach Flood and be a Scarlet Knight". I guess the kid must be a moron according to some on here.
Here is the wording:

defined under NCAA Bylaw 14.02.13) at that Big Ten Conference institution, I will be charged with
the loss of (1) season of athletics eligibility in all sports.
Bottom line is he can break it but not go to another big school unless he want to lose a year of eligibility and sit out a year.
Pretty much this, except that early enrollies do not sign a LOI. He becomes official when he enrolls.
I don't use Twitter but heard it on Facebook. Maybe many of our fans don't use Twitter or Facebook...
To answer your question, yes. I think he's one of four early enrollees we're expecting.
Or else it gets the hose again.It rubs the lotion on its skin.
I'm not being negative-just wanting to make sure people know the rules of this. I have two questions-how does he sign a LOI if he's enrolled? My other question is if Flood is let go, would he still come here? And if he lets go after he enrolls, can he pull out of school to go somewhere if he chooses to? I don't want him to go somewhere-he's a great get. Just a lot of questions before the season ends. Too much uncertainty.
Is Pollock considered "undersized"? Rivals has him listed as 5'11". His weight (232 lbs.) is a good start. Although, if he's quick, he's already great size for a safety.
Great news. Through all the noise and distractions about coaching, getting terrific kids like Pollack will be how RU rises up the ranks of the Big 10.
his parents told me that he was finishing up all of his HS classes online so that he could graduate early from HS and enroll in January. He, and they, are very excited for him to come to RU.
