Should you advertise a willingness to walk on? How?
Suppose you are willing to give it a shot as a recruited walk on at a particular school. Should you advertise this fact to them? If so, how? Or does expressing upfront a willingness to walk on make you seem desperate? I ask...

Recruits who need the most Help

Great advice on timelines, choosing schools, showcases, camps, deciphering offers, athletic and academic scholarship info, official visit advice, communication with coaches and on and on. But I often wonder if there isn't a bit of disconnect here with the majority of kids who are capable of filling the “bottom half” of college rosters. Sometimes we talk about there being a place for...

Redshirt question
I don't know all of the details, but a kid I know is at a D1 track program. He received some academic money but no athletic dollars. Essentially a walk-on or preferred walk on - not sure if those terms are used in T&F or not.

My question is this, if you are not on athletic scholarship, what reason do you have to redshirt? If you plan to play...
