Akron Basketball Scholarships Help

[Paul_Pettengill]

Hey Zips,

I used to keep up a NC State Basketball Recruiting Chart over at PackPride (the NC State Scout boards) which combined all the links and ratings from Scout, ESPN, and Rivals. It got difficult to maintain by hand, so I automated the process, and threw a basic UI together and put it up on the web. I did the same for all the other schools while I was automating it.

Unfortunately due to Prep Schools, Junior Colleges, transfers, and the like my roster information was off from my initial pull and I've had to go back and review the information, and update it. I was wondering if you could do me a favor and review the Akron chart, and let me know if you see any inaccuracies.

I checked it against the chart on your recruiting board, and it appears that everything is the same. My biggest question is Brian Walsh, it looks like he was awarded two red-shirt seasons already (one at Xavier after injury and one at Akron after transferring), and I know that typically players have 5 years to play 4, so I'm confused if he already got clearance from the NCAA for a 6th year, as I thought such appeals were made after the end of a players 5th year. He listed as a Sophomore on Akron's GoZips Official Team roster as well. Right now I have him listed as a Redshirt Junior for this past season (2011-2012).

Here's the link to Akron's 2011-1012 roster:
