The rosters at D3 schools are made up of recruited athletes and MAYBE one or two walk ons. The coaches recruit high school players who want to go to that school and who want to play. The coach may be able to offer admissions help. They may also have transfer athletes. Most coaches hope to have a full roster on the first day of practice and don’t want to rely on walk-ons to build a team. Some sports start before school even starts, so they can’t rely on freshmen walk-ons.

Thanks. You and others in this thread have convinced me. It is not worth another 5 minutes of my son’s time to think about playing D3 basketball. He should focus on school, and try to hook up with some good players when he gets to campus so he can win an intramural title.

Thank you for your help.
