While I agree with 97% of this statement, I always feel comments like this miss one important factor. What a kid does with that roster spot is the most important variable to getting on the field, be it coming in as # 4, 20 or 35. Coaches want to win and if you perform better in the fall and spring coming in as #21 than the #5, you're playing. Absolutely, every recruiting class has the kids that are the apples of the coach's eye in his recruiting and no doubt they have got his attention, but they better keep it. That kid that came in late just might be hungry enough and good enough to steal the cookies right of their plate.

In order for a walk on to take playing time away from a scholarship player he has to outperform him by a mile. It hardly ever happens. Add that to your 97%.
