trublue 939 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was asking the same to someone....they were supposed to find out and post. It was mentioned at the HS banquet he had been invited to "walk on" at VT. He's a great kid w/mucho desire and fortitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about the Wasps, they are getting a FINE young man who happens to be one of the BEST football players to ever wear a Blues uniform!!!

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 [ QUOTE ] preferred walk-on  [/ QUOTE ]  This means...  "Son, you're not good enough for us to give you a scholarship but if you want to play, we prefer that you try out as a walk-on." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Crue 49 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Preferred Walk-On means you were contacted and looked at and asked to walk on. A lot of DI schools do this so they don't have to give the kid a scholarship if things don't pan out. However, a lot of athletes that do this do earn one by the time they are juniors and seniors.

Blue_Crue 49 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 True, but i've known a few to earn scholarships. Marrs at UT has a chance as a junior or senior if he is "THE" long snapper. I thought you didn't know what it meant, I was just stating what it was. But after I seen your reply I see you were being sarcastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see someone getting the offer to walk on, but Concord isn't doing so hot......so oh well. Â By the way, Adam Hughes of Princeton earned his scholarship for his senior year at WVU recently. He was a walk-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 i was talkin about you puttin me on my can...but just because they dont pop out good players year in and year out doesnt mean that good talent cant come around once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHMITT35 10 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 How can you doubt that? You have no idea of my size or strength! It's a blind comment. But anyway, I simply said no offense to TV but noone there impressed me enough to play college ball. You said it's D2 blah blah better than you could get blah blah. How the hell do you know?

izzo5 10 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yeah, can't forget about big baldwin. and as far for me going to concord i told no one to say anything about it because of this reason. i know that we don't have a very successful football team. But with 13 to 18 players every year what can you do? A choice few have worked hard such as Baldwin. And there has been a few football players from TV. Brit Coleman, Frank Stenson, John Jackson, Matt Baldwin, and now I going to at least try. and if you wanting to know the first 3 played at wise.
