According to many, we have more scholarships open, but may hold them until next year, unless a surprise pops up.
I thought I read that scholarships are actually for one year and then renewed for each following year, etal. If this is the case, then there is no reason to withhold a scholarship offer to Zenon if the coaches think he is worth a chance.
If he is on scholarship for his first year and proves he is a great player and can help the team, then it was worth the scholarship. If he does not live up to his billing, then there is nothing lost.
If scholarships are for one year only, and Zenon did not pan out, then he could probably transfer to the same system at Georgia Southern after his first year here. Since we may be saving scholarships for next year, then his would still be available for next year.
So, for Zenon, who might not be able to walk on (financially), he would attend free for the first year, and we can see how he works out at several positions.
Some have indicated he might be used as a kick-off returner (possibly a punt returner) and maybe a good candidate for the A Back position.
I don't really see where there is a loss in this situation. It appears to be one of those win-win situations for both Zenon and Tech, and possibly Georgia Southern.
