Local kid and amazing HS athlete has been rported in several local papers as an "Invited walk-on" at nearby DI school in the fall. I certainly undersatnd that invited walk-ons are common, but there is something that makes this story different.
The player in question has not played any TB(except for a couple of games here and there as a guest player) preferring to spend her summers at a family vacation home. This player was an exceptional HS player and very talented from what I have seen. I am just not sure how realistic it will be for her to make the jump from HS to DI(Big East) without having played any kind of competetive travel ball. Has anyone seen anyone pull this off?
I wish her luck, but do worry if she is successful it will send a wrong message(younger players not understanding she was an exception)
