pretty sure Bailey was a PWO too with an opportunity to win a scholarship but he was not guaranteed one.
on Tremayne, a USC fan with ties to Stanford's Hungarian football connection (the fan's father had been a Stanford team captain) had given me a heads up that he was not a normal PWO and he thought he'd end up starting for us. Tremayne was from a small school with a barely developed program. pretty prescient call. no other heads up since then.
while it has been encouraging to see the revival of the walkon program in numbers, it is bit disappointing to not see more development at positions other schools have with walkons as starters -- FB, TE, OL and non-kicking special teams. on the 1st and the latter, I am thinking Pat Ward types.
