I agree with Stardust here. A walk-on has more respect in my eyes when he earns playing time than someone who gets to go out on the floor not really caring what happens with his team, he's just passing through. Landon Slone was a walk-on and I can guarantee you that he got just as many, if not more applause at times, than some others on the team. These are the guys who give 110% and work their tails off because they are trying to prove something, trying to earn some time, trying to stand out, trying to get a little respect from a coach, they don't take these things for granted. Walk-ons should have been giving the choice to stay or go, as they knew what would be in store for both options. I don't feel as though they are hurting the team, they don't have to be used in practice situations where more time should be taken scrimmaging the starting five or anything. It's not even about tradition here, they earned their right to be there every bit as much as anyone else on that team.
