Reply to "Noncommited 23's"

Adbono, we normally agree but 46 is not too many.  If you can have 40 because most p5 schools have 3-5 Covid grads, you will have 2-3 that are hurt each year that the coach will know can't play spring and 2-3 that are not ready to play as freshmen and 2-3 that didn't continue to get to the level they should or discipline or grades or such.  Then you also have 2-3 who read the writing on the wall and quit because they were 3rd or 4th or lower on the depth chart and aren't willing to wait.

I disagree with the statement that a walk-on not being kept is cutting.  If you are a walk-on, you are not guaranteed anything.  A preferred walk-on is guaranteed to be kept through the fall but that is all.  There are very few schools that guarantee a roster spot to anyone not on scholarship in today's world.  It may be assumed but you know what happens when you assume.  If you go there, recruited or on your own as a walk-on, you know there is a chance you are not on the spring roster.  If you don't shame on you.
