Reply to "Preferred Walk On--Guaranteed Roster Spot"

Thanks for this information, infielddad, and the reference to the thread a few years back.

The following is what I originally said about this issue a few posts back and it is where I still stand.

It isn't being suggested that because the player won't be signing an NLI, it is ok for the player to make an oral commitment that he intends to back out of.....is it?

Fine for the player to bargain for as much time as he can get to confirm to the coach whether he wants to be a "preferred walk-on". But once the commitment is made, even though it is oral and not written, I think it should be honored.

Yes, there can always be extenuating circumstances, but going into a commitment with a possible renege in mind............well, not my cup of tea.
