so if you walked on (like John Curry and Garth Snow)
does that mean that you do not ever get a scholarship?

If Curry, the all american did not have a scholarship
I would be surprised, I can believe that Curry the 3rd

I know a player who was offered a 3 year deal, pending
the outcome of his first year at Merrimack.... maybe
that is another way that teams offer less-than full
rides.
