We never knew if he was an "invited walk on" or just a plain walk on when he transfered from a JUCO. His research consisted of calling the coach and talking with him about his chances of making the team. He met the staff in June at orientation and had a good feeling about everything. We discussed his options at length, but in the end he wanted to give it his best shot and we've backed him 100%.
Several years ago I think I actually posted something to the effect that I would never want our sons to walk on a college baseball program. But as usually happens when life takes in you different directions, my perspective changed.
