[QUOTE="Butler-eer, post: 132095955, member: 1661089"] No. "SAVING" schollies for walk ons is not common. Saving schollies is a waste of an LOI for recruited players. Giving schollies to walk ons is common. Giving schollies to walk ons after all of the available schollies have been used for incoming recruits is common. Giving schollies to walk ons that could/should be used for incoming recruits is no where near the norm. Programs use their allotted 25 schollies for recruits and transfers. If they are still under the 85 available then they give deserving walk ons schollies. We see kids getting schollies mid year when the number of yearly allowed schollies are already used. Even when we have been at a full 85, there is always a player or more that drop off before the season starts opening up a spot for a walk on. AND that schollie doesn't count toward the 25 for that past year. There are rules for counting walk ons toward the 85 or 25 and programs know how to maneuver schollies without "saving" a schollie that could be used for incoming players. If a program is under the 85 and the next year's 25 won't take them to the 85 limit then "saving" a schollie is just throwing it away. You have room to put w/o's on schollie when you are under 85 without using one of the allotted 25 LOI's. Bill Stewart was never ever close to going over the 85 number. NEVER. If you don't understand that you should talk to someone that actually does the recruiting. [/QUOTE]
