Normally coach offers them a chance to grey shirt

Another day another arse-hole fan coming here to cause trouble

They can walk on, but they can't accept any type of scholarship money without being counted in the 25.

Cool, good to know.

If they don't play in a game, essentially an old school redshirt, they can.

Even if they were actively recruited to play football at the school the receive the scholarship with? I'm assuming they would count towards the 25 for the next class in that situation.

You don't have to count a recruited athlete on academic scholarship until he plays. Now if you give him an athletic scholarship in the spring, he would count against the 25 for the following year. If you wait a full year before giving the athletic scholarship, he would only count against the 85.

Thanks. I understand the basics, but all of the various situational specifics are somewhat of a mystery.

If they were processed, more than likely they have offers from other schools, so the real question is why would they walk on when they could go to college for free elsewhere?

Assuming you mean a processed player is one who was commited to a school, then the school withdrew the scholarship offer. Remember, the commitmeent is non binding on either the school or the athlete. So, yes , if he is willing to be a walkon at the school of his dreams and hopse to possibly get a scholarship one day he may walk on. Respect his decision.

It depends on the situation. If you are talking about recruits that haven't signed a letter of intent yet, like for instance, Jalen Lee. Sure they can walk-on and pay their own way cause they haven't been processed since they haven't ever signed a letter of intent. Nonetheless, they would be stupid to do so since they can simply commit to another university.
In any event, it is only players that have already signed a letter of intent that can be processed out of the program. Committed recruits who are waiting to sign a letter of intent on signing day can't be processed cause they have never signed a letter of intent yet. Those players are simply told to look elsewhere cause the coaching staff has decided to move in a different direction.
Meanwhile, a player who is already on the team, in other words, a person who has already signed a letter of intent and who is not transferring can not walk-on cause they are being processed out of the program, i.e., kicked off the team, for a specific reason.

Reading other teams boards, they ask why do LSU fans call commitments who are cut loose “processed”?
My answer, “don’t know but it has spread to all of our boards”.
Processed has always meant a scholarship player being reminded that scholarships are actually just year to year and that theirs will not be renewed.
Players de-commit from schools like crazy, and sometimes multiple times, it isn’t said that the player processed the school.

I was always under the impression it was a dig at Alabama and buying into their process. When a scholarship wasn’t renewed or an offer being withdrawn, they weren’t a part of the process’ future, therefor they were “processed”

You might be right, Alabama has gotten criticism for it more than most in recent years, even though all schools do it as they continue to watch a senior players season.
The criticism has been included as reasons to stop over signing, in order to give schools less incentive as they try and stay under the 85 limit.
Attrition of some sort has to occur if you can sign 25 a year and redshirt half of them and still stay at 85.
As often though as players decommit I don’t think “processing” should be used for when a school asks a player to do so.

The basic premise is if a kid pays for his education he won't count, but if we do then he does.

The new issue will be when a player forgoes his scholarship but takes money for the use of his name or likeness and pays his own bills. How will this be counted? The pukes in Bama will exploit this new playing ground.

Yes it was a play on Sabans process mantra.
Didn’t realize there was an actual “processed” term in regards to already signed players.

I’m confused.
Is it illegal to use the term processed or not?
