since spring semester starts in the middle of the season, i can't see what a grayshirt provides that a redshirt does not.

might as well go the prep route then. grayshirts can't even practice with the team.

Fair enough and I honestly do not know the specifics of the ncaa rules on walk ons and academic scholarships. I read this in regard to getting an academic scholarship and being an NCAA athlete. It was not clear from the article whether this was available to athletes in "head count" sports like football and basketball.
Can student-athletes combine academic and athletic scholarships?
The short answer is yes—but it depends. The NCAA has a few specific rules about how Division I and Division II student-athletes should handle non-athletic financial aid. To accept an academic scholarship as an incoming freshman, student-athletes need to meet the following criteria:
Division I
Then, there was this on a Washington State University site in regards to scholarships and DI athletes in basketball and football which makes it sound like a kid could be on academic scholarship and practice with the team as long as there is no varsity competition (ie, could be on academic scholarship as a walk-on frosh, practice, but not play, then in later years be on athletic scholarship).
"In football or basketball, the student-athlete is recruited and is receiving institutional financial aid granted without regard to athletics ability, but participates in varsity competition [he will be counted against scholarship limit for the sport]. If the student-athlete does not compete and the institution has on record certification that the student was admitted and received financial aid without regard in any degree to athletics ability, counter status is not activated."

- Top 10% of the high school graduating class
- Achieve a cumulative high school GPA of at least 3.50
- Score 1200 or higher on the SAT or ACT sum score of at least 10

good for him. solid landing spot. now we await posters keeping tabs on him while continually comparing him to our current players.
anyway, interesting timing given diallo grabbing what is assumed to be the last spot for 2019.
