This story is specifically about basketball walk-ons at Marquette but I think life as a walk-on would be relatively the same across the board at any school, even Kentucky. I can only imagine how difficult being a walk-on would be but personally it would definitely be a dream come true. From ESPN.com: “Walk-on tryouts are ‘one-tenth of a normal practice’ in terms of difficulty.. The bad news? They still sound incredibly difficult: while players will have a chance to show off their skill sets in a number of drills, stamina and focus will factor in largely as well.”
