It's a kid they have walk-on, then offer a scholarship the following year.

It's how they got some kid to flip from Wazzu to USC on signing day.

Are these kids just taking Sark's word for it? Because he's been such a straight shooter?

Brent Williams says hi.

Yup, blueshirts and greyshirts have no guarantee of a scholarship. These kids are rolling the dice, as well as paying tuition for 1 semester of USC.

I think that is untrue for a gray shirt. The moment they enroll in usc their eligibility clock starts ticking.

Essentially they are holding their dicks for a year (ideally training) and waiting for a schollie the next cycle.

Blue shirt is just a fancy way to say preferred walk on. They do have to pay their own way while they prove worthy of a schollie.
