Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 78306, member: 331"] As others have said has got to be a preferred walkon. From personal experience I know they and their families sometimes conveniently overlook the difference. Good friend of mine's son was a very good HS RB in a good league here in Ohio. Parents kept telling me UC was recruiting him. The kid was good no doubt, but he was 5'8" about 155 lbs. Not exactly UC size (and as a side note smaller than my 8th grader). Never saw him on any recruiting site or signee list or anything else so I was quite surprised when his mom told me he signed with UC. Turns out, through mutual friends, I find out he's walking on as a DB. Hopefully the kid will grow some more but he's already bigger than both parents so I doubt it. Point is, walkons of all types can sometimes overstate their reality. Personally, I'd be quite proud if my son is even good enough to walkon at a D1 school. [/QUOTE]
