 This year we had 62 walk-ons for 4 roster spots. There were about 15 preferred walk-ons. 

Just curious...what makes a preferred walk on at a D3 school? At D1s they are recruited players that are not on scholarship. What separates a standard recruit from a preferred walk-on at the D3 level? 

Preferred, in this case are the kids we went out and recruited unlike the walk-ons who just showed up. The preferred walk on is guaranteed a fall roster spot for our 2 week season. The walk-on can be cut on day one. When I say 4 roster spots that means spring spots and that is before knowing who may decide not to play, who may fail off or who from the returners did not improve. Saying that we ended up losing an additional 4 returners leaving 8 spring openings.
