If one is considering you do you need to send him a scholarship offer.

Wow I really worded that poorly. I have one considering me now.

I was reffering to this in the FAQ:

If a recruit does not qualify, he may or may not still attend your school as they have to pay their own way the first year. They can not be on scholarship and they can not practice (although they will reserve a scholarship for the next season). At DI schools, the player will only have 3 years of eligibility (depending on their collegiate gpa, they may be granted a 4th year of eligibility if they maintain a 2.7 cumulative GPA or higher) - in both situations, if they choose to play their 4 year of eligibility they will be playing as 5th year Seniors. At DII schools, the player will have 4 years of eligibility. In both situations, they will be eligible to play beginning with their sophomore year, assuming they have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher after their freshman year.                   


Since they have to pay their own way but reserve a scholarship for the next season do I need to offer the scholarship now?

Yes, he won't sign without the scholarship offer.  In essence it's a scholarship for 5 years
In some instances that's all it takes.

thanks
