Reply to "“The ways we can turn over rosters!”"

A kid my son had played against in HS was at fall practice at my son's college his freshman year.  I knew his parents a little bit...and had heard he was going to school there, but had no idea whether he was a walk on or had a scholly.  Get to the first day of scrimmages and his parents are there.  I start talking to them and found out he was a walk on.  They honestly had no idea that his chance of making the team was essentially zero.  He was a good HS player, but not a D1 caliber IF.  He was there thru the fall....then let go.  His parents seemed stunned that this could happen.  I guess my point is that you need to know the situation.  Granted, this one is probably stranger than most....and even strange because I know the kid and parents have friends who have gone thru this and could have given them some insight.
