[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter played her sport.  Found the school she wanted without using her sport.  She wanted to find the right fit for her and her major.  She ended up at a D3 and walked on freshman years. Has played 2 years and loves it.

Nice! Mine will likely try to walk-on at her first choice if the recruiting thing doesn’t work out. How many walk-ons are there, typically?[/quote]

Nothing is "typical" when it comes to number of walk-ons taken (if any).   Depends entirely on the sport, coach, recruiting success/failure, injuries, players quitting, quality of the walk-on, position played by the walk-on, etc.   [/quote]

+1   We had no walk ons my fresh/soph/senior years -- but took 3 my junior year because the recruiting class sucked.  [/quote]

So they didn't even look at walk-ons those years?  What if a walk-on coming in is better than even your good recruitments.  I can't imagine in a D3 setting a coach would turn away anyone unless they have seen them at a practice at least once.  Heck, there are kids that walk-on D1. [/quote]

There were 1-2 kids who tried to walk on at the beginning of each year, but none were offered a roster spot (except my junior year).[/quote]
