So passing up a school that really wants you, to go to a school that didn't offer you. So that means your last on the depth chart while there still recruiting these big time recruits then your last again. It shouldn't be about the money, it needs to be about talent and trying to grow his own talent.

Maybe they think they can work their way on the team. Its happened before. If you really love a school then i guess you take a chance.

Bingo, preferred walk-ons are usually scholarship eligible students who qualify for academic or other scholarships. This is a method of circumventing the athletic scholarship process. They usually qualify for a scholarship, or a series of scholarships.

is it really that hard for you to understand that some people would rather be able to say they played football for lsu, even if it meant sitting the bench for their whole career, than go to another school and possibly see the field there?
