re: Can these blue chippers just walk on wherever they want?

Last spring/summer ToTo from tenn and some other high profile player walked on at bama and were on scholarship for the fall semester. Walkons can be awarded scholarships at start of season and don't count in the new recruit/transfer numbers that are limited to 25. More due to extenuating circumstances. NCAA allowing up to seven transfers over the 25 number if a school lost that many transfers. They do count towards the 85 scholarship max though.
