There is a strong correlation between world-class receiver and a little crazy (Keyshawn, Irving, Ocho Cinco, Brandon Marshall, Randy Moss...etc)

As long as he doesn't err on the stupid side of crazy and stays out of trouble, I like it!!

Yeah, just ball out in college and save the craziness for the NFL.

what is the difference between a walk on and a preferred walk on ?

Guaranteed spot on the team with a preferred walk on..... No guarantee of a spot on the team with a regular walk on

The biggest difference I know of is you are given a spot, whereas a regular walk on would have to go through some tryouts.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Walk ons show up and try out.

Preferred walk ons are invited and are a part of the team immediately.

thanks for the info

Don't preferred walk ons get the benefit of dietary regimen just like the scholarship kids and weight room privileges like the schollies?

Vandy hold on to their one 4* recruit?

Guy at work is a Vandy fan and was talking about their 4 star qb they took. I said ut took 3 4 star QBs this class. It so good to put candy back in their place after 3 years of the big head.

Tell him that QB's going to look real good throwing to all those 1 and 2 star receivers. Not to mention being protected by all those 1 and 2 star offensive linemen.

A blueshirt is a player who arrived on campus as a "preferred" or "recruited" walk-on and goes on to earn a football scholarship. The NCAA doesn't allow for schools to produce written promises of scholarships to walk-ons, but that doesn't stop a school from telling a prospect who walks on that an offer is coming after a certain point.

"There are a couple of different ways you can award a blueshirt scholarship," one Big 12 coach said. "We'll have some cases of a player arriving for the start of fall practices, and we'll then immediately put them on scholarship after the end of fall camp, then count the scholarship forward - against the 2015 class, for example - and announce them on the following signing day.

"The other way is if there's a player, and we know we'll have a scholarship coming open at a certain position. We tell them if you come as a freshman, pay your own way, a scholarship will come open at this point in time, and it's yours."

So then a grayshirt and a blueshirt are pretty much the same thing?

No, Blueshirt hits campus in the Summer/Fall whereas Greyshirt can not enroll until the following Spring.

Better than that, we currently have the #2 class overall if you average every team's ranking.

Team            Avg
-
Alabama         1.0
Tennessee       4.0
USC             4.25
FSU             4.5
Auburn          6.0

Correction, Tennessee is actually #2 on 247's site. 2015 Football Recruiting Team Rankings

Thanks.
