Good to see Flowers was smart with his money. A 5th round pick 5 years ago didn't get a huge bonus (though he may have gotten higher than slot) and I know he wasn't making much of a salary since he didn't break a 40 man roster.
The Cubbies got him in the Farnsworth deal.
Profile from last year lists him at 6-2, 225.

He would be considered a true freshman correct?

Wouldn't he still count against the 85 limit even without a scholarship?

Nope...He would be considered a walk-on, and would not count against the limit... |

Are you sure? I thought there was a rule that kept things like this, putting people on tennis, academic, wrestling scholarships etc as a way around the 85 man limit. IIRC Weinke was at FSU on baseball money but counted against their limit.

That rule says that if on schollie for one sport and if you play another then the sport with more schollies takes the hit.
I believe it was Miami who was putting kids on track ships and then having them play football...
Since Bo would only being playing football, it would be the same as what guys that walk-on do. They pay their way to go to school, but are able to make the team as a walk-on therefore not counting against the schollie limt.
This is the reason why this is a good situation for us, b/c he is a kid that could be worthy of a schollie, but we don't have to use one to get him, b/c he is going to pay his own way.
In a way he will be a preferred walk-on... |

This seems like a great situation for this young man. As far as going on Scholarship, I think it would not be in his best interest. I'm assuming that full college tuition was part of his baseball contract. If he would go on scholarship, and then things didn't work out then he would have to sit out a year. In his situation he could switch schools without having to sit out a year.
