Clara Peller's mantra of "Where's The Beef?" is funnier than this.

I think he is the only one that wouldn't count against the scholarship numbers. Mitchell and Shelton Joshnson aren't in camp, but count against the numbers.

the only one left out.

Must be a really big scholarship then.

A lot of walk-ons in your local Nike store are there?

Should probably leave a scholarship open for Harambe. It's the right thing.

I'd love to see Portnoy and Brian in the same room. Two alums with some of the largest sports blogs on the internet. They probably couldn't be more different as people though.

I always wondered how the coaching staff determines these things. Playing time would seem to be the main factor - then seniroity as the next reason perhaps?

I'd give Jabrill Peppers TWO scholarships if he promised to simply exhaust his full eligibility in ONE. He can use it for himself, give it away...I don't care. I have 4 years of education free of charge at Michigan for you Pep! All you have to do is play through your RS Senior season.
Deal? DEAL!

I seriously doubt they're gonna hold on to scholarships if they have them. Even if they are not going to contribute meaningfully, those walk ons are integral for the practice squad and probably giving it their all. We are fortunate to have enough scholarship players that we dont need to rely on many walk ons for meaningful time.

I think what's "meaningful" to Harbaugh is a lot more than live game snaps. Hirsch may never play in a game, but he's a great example of character and courage and I think Harbaugh would love to reward that. So, that speaks to Hirsch.
I do expect we'll see Henderson play. Wroblewski and Jocz are "veteran" walk-ons at this point and deserve the recognition just for hanging in there.
Harbaugh makes a point to call out walkons in his press conferences. I think he loves walkons and means it.

for their work on scout teams, if not enough players who contribute in games. I'm not sure what is to be gained from withholding a scholarship. Harbaugh's not on that kind of a budget. It gives an incentive for other walkons to come back for another season.

AJ Pearson has played a decent amount and gets a lot of publicity for a walk on.

We should let PJ Fleck hand them out.
