<p>I have no idea if Stanford has tryouts or not but I will add this. At most top DI level programs even if they have walk-on tryouts the athletes pursuing this option should be realistic about what the likely out come is … if you make the team you most likely will be a scrub and game very little playing time. For some being a scub on a top DI team if preferable to being a major contributor on a DIII team … for others the reverse is true. OP, do you want to make the team or to get a lot of playing time?</p>
<p>My comment comes with a ton of caveats … including … if you’ve been recruited by a ton of DI programs but not on Stanford’s radar up to now and tryout might lead to much more playing time if you make the team.</p>
