Is he a projected LB? What are his measurables? Pleased about our preferred walk-on class this year with Geary, Tanking, and Keeley
I thought Geary ended up taking a wrestling scholarship at OkState
Geary came down to a scholarship covering all of school to Cornell to wrestle, or KSU as a walk-on. He chose the walk-on at KSU.
Cornell doesn't have athletic scholarships, at all.
Never said they did.
However, if they take you, and want you, like all Ivy League schools, they magically find a way for you to go there (financials are not a worry). In this case, they told Geary it was paid for if he opted to head their way.
Let's just say his dad, last I heard, was not happy with the KSU decision for this reason.

Well, how is this. Geary was told directly by Cornell that he would be given a scholarship if he enrolled there and came to wrestle. Source is as good as it gets without coming from Cornell Admissions (to which I lack access).
All the Ivy institutions follow the common policy that any financial aid for student-athletes will be awarded and renewed on the sole basis of economic need with no differentiation in amount or in kind (e.g. packaging) based on athletic ability or participation, provided that each school shall apply its own standard of economic need.
So, do you know Geary's exact need in regard to Cornell standards? What are exactly Cornell's standards (it appears even all Ivy's are not identical, but have some leeway to judge what need is and to what extent it is covered.
I do know my student going to Yale this year is pretty much taken care of financially, with little to nothing coming from home. Same deal for my student going to USC (not an Ivy, of course), even before the Gates Millennium Scholarship (awarded after the USC scholarships) kicked in and picked up the final bit.
