Aaron Fine Commits as Preferred Walk-On
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Under-recruited point guards from Noblesville have done well in the Big Ten in the past.
wonder if he's a distant relative to Larry?
Not knowing he was even a possibility for Purdue, I’ve heard good things about him as a high school player.
Oh, a wise guy.
That region of the state, including Westfield.
Welcome, young Mr. Fine. Seems to really embrace the opportunity.
what is a preferred walk on anyway?
"No you're not getting a scholy, but we think you are "special"???
"No you're not getting a scholy, but we think you are "special"???
It just means you don't have to try out to be on the team
Essentially, guaranteed a roster spot but no athletic aid at this time....it's an opportunity to earn a scholarship down the road, though.
Not that long ago, a preferred walk-on for multiple seasons for Purdue earned a scholarship and played a key role for the Boilers - none other than Grady Eifert. Now, that doesn't happen frequently.....but....you never know for sure.
We should take a look at his teammate named Justin Curry, too, if we haven't already.
With NIL, who cares if a player is on scholarship or are a preferred walk-on? I am only interested if the cheerleaders are doing fine.
Aaron Fine...... Indiana All Star

Roster revealed for this year's Indiana All-Stars boys basketball team
The 13-player roster for this year's Indiana All-Stars boys basketball team has been revealed. The game is June 7 in Lexington, Kentucky.

He might receive some NIL money which might be close to what a scholarship would be.
Likely the case as Indiana All Stars are not generally PWOs.
Do we still have a walk-on spot available if we need to move a scholarship player to PWO to accommodate the incoming class?
ironically cheerleaders were able to get paid before players did, since they are not under the NCAA
You're practice fodder. That's it....some have been good enough to get a school their senior season.
True, but there is (or was) a practice squad that the team scrimmages with. And walk on's were a step above them. (really nothing) That's the reason I asked if walk on's get to eat with the team now.
Best player in our dorm made that practice squad. (this was the early 80's)
Those guys got the crap beat out of them.
Another sport but wasn't Nick Hardwick also a walk on, and not even preferred???
AOC...what a story! Guy is like 8th on depth chart, a real afterthought. Becomes a STARTER in the Big10, albeit a pretty depleted team at the time. Sets all kinds of records in his time here, including a stunning bowl win, while throwing to less than #1 receivers.
Now, Raiders think so highly of him, they not only start him, but don't draft another highly prized QB, despite all the experts saying the Raiders needed one.
Deep in college depth chart to NFL starter...his head is prob still spinning. What a story!
