The only thing that matters is his status on the first day of fall practice. It does not matter when you are offered a roster spot or a scholly. By the time he stepped on the field, he had a commitment from LSU to play ball for LSU. Most Louisiana players do not get any scholly money. Most..... Money means nothing when it comes to the 35 roster spots. Laird got not money. That does not make him a walk-on. I get irritated that people try to diminish the players that don't get scholly money and imply that they had to walk-on. Rhymes gave back his scholly money. That did not make him a walk-on.

Well obviously. He couldn't step on the field at LSU if he wasn't already given a spot

Here's a fact. When he stepped on LSUs campus and started taking courses he was not guaranteed a spot on LSUs roster. If the NCAA doesn't consider that a walk on bc it's in the summer that's fine.

Allsan idk why you are taking this so personally

I'm just posting facts. I don't care if he's considered a walk on by the NCAA or not

Nobody is diminishing them for being a preferred walk on and not taking money. If anything that makes them liked more.
