Well, I guess I stand corrected. However, my point was not about who would be paying for the scholarship but more about the number of scholarship players that a basketball team can have. I thought that number was 13 not counting walk-ons. It makes me wonder if a kid wanted to go to a certain college but the college was maxed out at the number 13 if the parents were willing to pay could that kid be put on the roster. That almost sounds like a walk-on without being counted against the scholarship limits.

The article that you referenced regarding the McDermott situation at Creighton does not say anything about the fact that it is allowed because the employee (head basketball coach) of Creighton is paying for the scholarship. I really do not understand it because it almost sounds like a well-to-do booster could pay for a recruit's education if the sport was maxed out on their scholarship limits and I am talking about any sport.

I think its pretty clear from all the articles that Mcdermott was a walk on his senior year. as such, his tuition had to be paid for. He was not eligible for benefits that scholarship players get like monthly stipends, paid tutors, training tables, etc. He was able to get per diems on road trips as are all walk ons. The situation is a direct correlation to what Penn could choose to do at osu or any college of his choice. d1 basketball teams are only allowed 13 scholarship athletes.

I agree that if he;s worthy that he should get a scholarship, but he can choose to walk on at osu.

I can understand that, because I've met scoonie and he was a little diva-ish thinking his ish doesn't stink but with that said I am able to separate the person from the talent and I still see a very talented player in Dom like akin to Trey Burke.

From this recruiting article on LGHL comes the following regarding Penn
Now, who might make up that 2020 class? Right now, it’s pretty tough to say. The only sure thing is Dominiq Penn, the son of former Buckeye point guard and current director of development Scoonie Penn. With Dom, it’s more of a when-not-if for his commitment, as he’ll likely be the point guard for the class.

I am not sure how much stock to put in this article because the writer talked like Ohio State has 3-4 scholarships for 2020.

In addition, I have seen on various other recruiting sites where Penn is not very highly rated. In fact, there might be a PG in Ohio that is ranked higher than Penn.
