Walk on scholarships

[Snout team]

I love the idea of these guys earning scholarships.  But two questions:

With the crunch on. numbers did we really have room to do this?

Will this further hurt our chances of turning this year into a salvageable recruiting class?

[Großer Kriegschwein]

No.

Honor the commitments they made to the program last summer.

So were these given to walknons or Blueshirts?

These are blue shirts not walk ons. And they both deserved the scholarships beating out other players for playing time as true freshman

They didn't beat others players out.  These were two that Bielema gave favor to over others.

that's a blue shirt. they were needed and promised scholarships after the season.

Nobody likes to see this side of football but sometimes kids just don't work out.  If you look at most programs in the SEC they "process" kids out every year to make room for the next batch of kids that are supposed to be the next big thing.

Which walk-ons are expecting scholarships? I assume Clary and Henry because I think they were blueshirts. Limpert deserves a scholly. Was Gary Cross promised one? Anyone else? The two freshmen would count against our limit of 25 this year.

CCM was supposed to be taking a close look at the roster and available scholarships last night for this years availability.  He's going to have to make some tough choices in order to free up the necessary spots to recruit as many players as he can to fit his system.  I wouldn't be at all surprised if every player they can't project to the future isn't given special scrutiny with options to transfer.

Sad but a fact some times it just doesn't work out.

You can't build a winner out of walk ons.  You might get a couple that are scholly worthy, but mostly there's a reason they didn't get an offer to begin with.

They could even let commits know they should look elsewhere.
