I totally disagree. Here are just a few of the walk-ons that have played at NU:

 
Joel Makovicka  1995-98 
John Parrella  1990-92  
Derrie Nelson  1978-80 
Jarvis Redwine  1979-80  
Jared Tomich  1994-96  
Adam Treu  1994-96  
Jimmy Williams  1979-81  
Toby Williams  1980-82  
Mitch Krenk  1981-82  
Bill Lafl eur  1995-98   
Steve Manstedt  1971-73  
Greg Orton  1983-84 
Tim Rother  1986-87  
Kelly Saalfeld  1977-79  
Mark Schellen  1982-83  

While I cannot find any specifics where each individual made a 'Team changing experience', I cannot believe that TO's record would be the same with out these incredible players!
