[FootballHog]

ROTFLMAO

No, all Arkansas High School kids.  Doubtful any will ever contribute on the Hill.  Maybe One.

[Eric Cartman]

you gotta think that maybe one will. walk ons come in with a totally different attitude, ala brandon b. and parker.

Isn't one a QB from California?

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

PRJ is one of them.

[hog20]

Austin Tucker and Bo Scott from Shiloh are both walking on.

[#1 STUNNA]

John William Durmon feom warren is walking on

[HoopHog]

No, all Arkansas High School kids.  Doubtful any will ever contribute on the Hill.  Maybe One.

and you say this because?

I hope you aren't drawing upon a steeped knowledge of the success of walk-ons at the U of A when you say that.  Many contemporary Hog fans will readily remember names like Tom Crowder, Zac Painter and Brandon Burlsworth.  Oh yeah, ALL walk ons...and that is just a few of many who have made noticeable contributions to Hog football.  Thank God for a walk on kicker from last season.  Given Nutt's lack of thorough consideration for having a decent kicker, this guy came through big time!

[old hog]

Good post. +1. All good teams need their walk-ons. And occasionally one turns into a real gem.

You can add Stephen Parker, George Wilson, and Mitch Petrus to that list.

Man, time flies is it fall already? I thought this forum was about recruiting.

And you can add NO championships to that list, too.

What the HE11 does that have to do with this thread.  Is it that boring on MMQB tonight?

[snf6278]

Who are lee and dale? Are they new recruits? I guess I missed the info on them. Does Rivals have any info about that I can check out?

[Mr. Perfect]

AMEN! These kids walk-on with one wish to be a Razorback. How can anyone bash some local kid who watched the Hogs their whole life and will do anything to become one? Also, how could anyone think their personal hygiene (not shaving) has anything to do with who's the coach at the University of Arkansas?   

[Bomis Hawg]

Getting excited about Walk-ons is fine.  It is vital to the team.  I don't see how saying that those guys didn't win anything has to do with the thread.

George Wilson and Brandon Burlsworth made a name at the school.  I wouldn't tarnish their names, or the future walk-ons, based on that fact.

They were all walk on kickers!  07' was the first year under Nutt that a scholie was given to a kicker.  As an old walkon on the Hill, I know what it takes and the odds are stacked against them.  Getting on the field is no easy task and one of them will be lucky to do it..

[ListenHereMister]

Auburn's best WR-Rod Smith?  is starting ahead of 5* WR Tim Hawthorne.
Rod Smith was a WALKON!!

So even for those who like to bash the U of A, it appears other SEC teams do the
same thing.

[Wes Craven]

Under Tom Osbourne Nebraska made a living out of their walk on program. They had kids turning down Division I scholarships to walk-on at Nebraska. Even some All-Americans came out of their walk on program. Those kids are vital to the success of a program. The six kids in the article are the invited walk ons which is a little more prestigious than just a walk on. They are guaranteed a spot on the team when the season starts and they are kids who were borderline Division I kids.

[SoTexHog]

Let's just say walk-on players are important for the intagilbles they bring.  And as an added bonus, every once in a while a walk-on turns out to be a player.

[Bomis Hawg]

Having a 4.4 WR that walked on because he was 5'9" is good for your scout team.  Ditto for a QB that is undersized and is fast.

It was my opinion that raving about current walk-ons is typical of the mediocre mentality of this state.  It was very pertinent to this thread.

[justmaybe]

O'Donahue was given a scholarship 6 years ago as a kicker. Skinner was given a scholarship. One panned out the other didn't. Few D1 schools give scholarships to kickers anymore. They have to come and earn them.

Nobody was "raving" about walk-on players.  The thread started out asking who they were.  That was followed by how guys walking on show a lot of guts and desire.  Then a couple of posts about how there have been walk-ons which turned out to be pretty good players.  And finally your posts which, of course, are negative in every aspect.  Let's just hope the 19 guys who've said they want to be Razorbacks honor their commitments better than you have honored yours to not post again until the season started.

I was lied to about how easy it would be to not get on here.

Maybe just Maybe they didn't work out because of a certain special teams coach?

Rudy was a walk-on, brotha!

Please go back to MMQB

Chad Johnson from Ozark is walking on. The first year will be big for him to get in the weight room but he is a very smart kid(32 ACT) and a hard worker, I hope he does well.

PRJ is one of them.

Does volunteering to be a blocking dummy qualify as being a walk-on?
