Can these blue chippers just walk on wherever they want?

Say a school has signed their limit of scholarship players, can a 4 star kid still walk on there and thus not count against that scholarship limit? I’m certain a booster (through NIL) will be happy to cover the tuition costs of a 4 star athlete if there are no more scholarships left to give. Surely there are rules against this, but I just haven’t seen them yet.

Im sure they can. I'm sure this is how Bama constantly signs over the amount of players allegedly allowed. Gray shirts and other ways of cheating the system.

TBH I dont think there is a rule against this or it would have been mentioned by now. Like the rest of the NIL crap, everyone is learning as it goes and everyone just makes up the rules as it grows.
I think if teams start taking 4 and 5* walk-ons with NIL deals then finally the NCAA will step in do something.
What if teams stop giving scholarships to freshmen? What if freshmen are given a 1 year NIL deal to pay for their scholarships and other expenses and during that first year if they pan out they get a scholarship? Or, the scholarships can be given to kids in the portal? The scenarios are endless and it needs to be fixed ASAP!

A player counts against the limit if he was “recruited”, even if he walks on. That includes things like campus visits, in home visits, etc, but I’m not exactly sure where the line is drawn.

That’s what I was wondering….
Why do Texas Olineman need schollies if they are making 50k a year?
Hard to keep up w all this

Last spring/summer ToTo from tenn and some other high profile player walked on at bama and were on scholarship for the fall semester. Walkons can be awarded scholarships at start of season and don't count in the new recruit/transfer numbers that are limited to 25. More due to extenuating circumstances. NCAA allowing up to seven transfers over the 25 number if a school lost that many transfers. They do count towards the 85 scholarship max though.

Why do all these kids want to ride pine at Bama when they could start as a freshman at other good programs? It’s insane
