Reply to "Whats the reality of a 2018 player walking onto a D1 Team?"

A kid from our local high school was told, “Sure, we would love to have you walk on.” The kid showed up for walk on tryouts. The head coach wasn't there. An assistant ran the session with a handful of current players helping out. After forty-five minutes the players were called off the field. They were thanked for coming and told the team already had a full roster.

Before anyone askes why the team even bothered to hold a tryout it’s an NCAA requirement. At least it was at the time.
