Polk certainly did his share of turning away MSU people- like Logan Powers, Bryce Brentz, Conner Gillespie, Louis Coleman, Stephen Head, and etc., etc., etc. But for some God unknown illogical reason, Pat wouldn't let Grisham have a shot to walk-on the team. I can't pin that one on Coach Polk.
Polk might have turned him away too, but I think Polk probably would have told him to go to JUCO for a couple of years and then maybe he could walk-on.
There are some legacies out there- the best prospect is Rafeal's younger son- Preston Palmeiro, who is a sophomore SS in high school, and he will be a big time prospect in a few years. Maybe things will be smoothed over by then- I hope. But he is better than his older brother.
The others are more walk-on type of guys- Casey Echols is the son of Tracy Echols and he plays at Brandon High School. He could play his way into a scholarship if he has a big junior year.
Miles Miskelly is a RH pitcher at Jackson Prep, and his Dad own Miskelly's furniture, and they are MSU alums. He is a senior, and he is definately a walk-on guy- he has an ERA of 5.25 at Prep right now in only 2.2 innings.
There are probably some others that I am leaving out, but those are the ones off of the top of my head.
