Does LSU baseball have any true Walk Ons?

Ryan May

Also, define "true"

There are those who are recruited and signed. They don't receive scholarships, but that doesn't make them a walk-on.

I was thinking like Cotton. Someone who went to try outs.

He was not a walk on. There was talk of him walking on for football though.

That was the point of my 2nd post. There's a difference between "true" and signing a letter of intent.

Blame Title IX and the ridiculous scholarship limitations.

I most certainly do.

11.7 to split between 25+ players. lolololol

Laird was a preferred walk-on for both baseball and football.

No.

Laird had a roster spot. A roster spot means he does not have to try out for the team. He is "guaranteed" one of the 35 team members.

He was not a "preferred walk-on". There is a big difference in a preferred walk-on/walk-on and a roster spot. Laird wore purple and gold and dressed in the locker room. Walk-ons dress in the parking lot, wear non school colors, and are only allowed true practice times, only a couple of hours a day. Whereas roster spots (there are 35 of them, 27 of which get a 1/4 scholly or greater) practice much greater hours in groups of 4, in addition to the standard NCAA specified 2 hour workouts.
