Walk Ons (4)

[laidbackcoach]

We have four walk ons listed on the roster. To me this is highly unusual. I do not recall ever seeing a team carry four walk ons. Is this something that Cooley tends to do and did at PVD? Ron, do you know why he carries so many (plus managers)? I have watched many college practices and coached over a thousand high school practices and having 15-20 guys to me is too many (11-13 is ideal IMHO so carrying 13-14 allows for injuries and is my ideal number and perhaps less if you have a manager who can ball and jump in during an emergency situation), but if we have 4 walk ons plus a full slate of scholarship guys, that is 16-17 guys. To me that takes away from practice efficiency. Anyone have any insight?
