Most? Possibly not. But surely some.

I suspect that Bo Pellini, Dr. Tom, and company will take the usual 
precautions. These small-school kids can come up big a la the 
Mackovicka boys. This year Thomas Grove walked on from tiny York and 
made a place for himself on special teams as a true freshman. No need 
to go down the list of multi-star scholarship recruits who never got 
that far.

Well, the Callahan approach didn't make the grade. The BP/TO approach 
just may do the trick.
