In reply to: is his son a walk on?  posted by jt


My super buttmad KSU coworker was upset about how Grunhard "came in at the 1tth hour and stole him away", in his mind Grunhard got his kid a PWO scholarship at Notre Dame more successfully by gift wrapping the staff one of the only meaningful football recruits in the KC metro to go along with his son.

When I asked if he was supposed to go to KSU or something he just said he "wished that Armstrong would have stuck around in the area" (I think he was committed to Mizzou?). If Grunhard's son winds up being a meaningful contributor on an offensive line that isn't compete ass I would love to bring that up to said coworker.

EDIT: I also doubt his claims too, obviously I think there is a Jafar link there but it's more of a matter of those two being good buds and wanting to play at the same place, not that Grunhard is some swindler with a kid who isn't that great at football like said coworker seemed to imply.


Does the idiot realize

that Grunhard was an ND player and that PWOs do NOT get scholarships? Sometimes they earn them by their third or fourth year but they do not get scholarships out of the gate. But they pay full tuition until then.

That's why they don't count against the max number of 85 scholarships allowed by NCAA. This year we got 3 of them but none of them count against the max.

Q


I misspoke when I said scholarship.

Both he and I realize that's not a thing, but he does feel that his place on the team was basically held down by getting Armstrong to come to ND.
