Wasn't he one of those later addition walk ons?
Yes, PM and LM both told him to come to campus early and work with the teams. Laird worked out with the football team and then once PM saw how he did in the high school all star game (MVP) and the Marrucci tournament (Tourney MVP), he decided that he better get him on scholarship. He did and the rest is history.
PM is lucky he had some kids go to the draft.
Laird went to the last PM baseball camp of the year last year and they told him to go the RR (Juco) route. Well they called him the next week and said, nah you better come to BTR.....

Is Mark ACTUALLY on scholarship? I know both coaches wanted him to come try to walk-on to the team but from my understanding Laird wasn't guaranteed a spot on the team from PM just a spot to tryout to walk-on but then after the tournaments were he went off he officially offered him a spot, but not actually a scholarship. Is this correct or no? Not trying to argue just figure out what actually went down lol
