      I know walk ons make the team and contribute.  I am sure TO means 
he finds five or six players that can make the team that way.  There are 
some things I would like to know, though.  One is of the total number of 
people that walk on what percentage of those are enough quality to make 
the team?  Also, of those that are enough quality to make the team what 
percentage of those turn out to be true difference makers and play a 
lot.  I would lean toward both percentages being pretty low.  One 
question I would like to directly ask TO is does he believe his career 
won/lost record would have been appreciably different, meaning would he 
have lost more than he did, if he had no walk ons to work with?  It 
would be interesting either way.
