playball, the reasons for my opinion are perfectly stated by the previous poster. In many cases, walk-ons aren't given the same number of reps, or perhaps more accurately, aren't allowed the same number of chances to "fail" and still get another chance as are players in whom the coach has invested a scholarship.
Agree, "in many case", but not in all.
to make the statement that he should drop that school and only look at schools who are offering money at this time is what I had problem with.
player needs to look into All "offers" then make decision.
Many schools have Freshmen who are not getting money yet for many reasons, and they are on roster, with good chance to get money Soph yr. I've seen many kids With scholarships sit bench, and many transfer too. no matter how a player gets on team/roster they have to prove themselves to get and stay in lineup.
