Then Aidas fits scholarship wise, no? Much rather have him for 4 years than a rent a guard and him for 3. His experience is considerably beyond that of a high school player.
COULD SOMEONE TELL ME THE STATUS OF TOMMY NOLAN FOR 2015:
1. HE IS A WALK-ON FOR 2015, MEANING HE PLAYS IN 2015 WITHOUT A SCOLARSHIP AND HAS 3 SCHOLARSHIP TO FOLLOW.
2. HE IS RED SHIRT FOR 2015, MEANING HE DOES NOT PLAY IN 2015 BUT HAS 4 SCHOLARSHIP YEARS TO FOLLOW.
3. HE IS A REGULAR RECRUIT IN 2015, MEANING HE PLAYS IN 2015 AND HAS 3 SCOLARSHIP YEARS TO FOLLOW. (THIS ASSUN MS A CHANGE FROM HIS INITIAL PLAN TO NOT BEING ON THE ROSTER IN 2015 BUT STILL HAS 4 SCOLARSHIP YEARS TO FOLLOW). RIGHT NOW I COUNT 14 SCOLARSHIPS GIVEN OUT WITH TOMMY HAVING ONE OF THESE FOR 2015.

The status at this time is what Rave said..... he is a walk-on with no scholarship.
That status could change if they red-shirt him this year (2015), but that decision does not have to happen until November. I believe that the original plan was to red-shirt him for 2015
The status could also change to that he gets a full scholarship this year. But that decision does not have to happen until school starts in September. That could happen if a scholarship opens up and Tommy Nolan plays well during the summer.
IMO, the original agreement is still in place.... that he will not get a scholarship this year. But things could change
Nolan is redshirting this year. Nothing up in the air. No change in plans. Scholarship the following 4 years. It was a well thought out 5-year plan and benefits both parties. He is not a walk-on as walk-on's can play. He will have 4 years of eligibility left after this season of practicing and working out with the team.

99% likely as you state here. However until we get to and past the final determination points that JS has mentioned (Sept. and Nov.) nothing is totally set in stone yet. Hopefully nothing will happen that will make them have to change these plans (such as being shorthanded at guard because of injury). A year of hard intense practices will do him a world of good IMO while at the same time really helping the team because of how hard he will compete against them. Looking forward to watching Tommy in the Red-White!
Again, if he's not on scholarship, and he's not playing, why put it in the release? He's a kid who is paying his own way and will practice with the team. Highlighting it only draws attention to the situation which seems to be somewhat uncertain.
