[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recruit- guaranteed spot

Preferred walk on-late applicant missed their teams "guaranteed spots"

Walk on-long shot, but in most cases if you have the game, they'll find a spot for you

Hope that helps![/quote]

Unfortunately there is no guaranteed spot even for recruited athletes at DIII. My son is in the process as a baseball player and we are hearing about how many of the schools he is interested in over recruit and then cut in Freshman year.[/quote]

Same with my son at Washington College in Chestertown. He was late to the game applying there and the freshman roster was 'full' when he reached out to the coach. My son could easily compete there but the coach wouldn't commit to him before the year started, so we bailed on the school. Scholastically it was below him and they are one of those schools hanging on by a thread so they offered him boatloads of money to pretty please come.

I actually wrote a note to the AO saying the coach effed this one up. My kid would have gone there had a spot been offered, but he's not going to a 1000 student school in the middle of bumf**k without something to do. I'd love to know what the AO said to the coach.[/quote]
