Reply to "walk-on versus preferred walk-on?"

FungoHighly Regarded and Beloved Old Timer

I might add that once a player becomes a member of the team all previous labels are ignored for the most part. A player’s talent, work ethic, and dedication come to the surface and players are judged by the contribution they are making to the team. I have seen true walk-ons make the grade and become starters and I have seen scholarship players cut from the squad. The W-L record of a team is based on production, not on labels. While walk-ons can become everyday players the odds are not in his favor. As Starzz says, it is a risk.
