especially since this has been his dream to play for UM.  You have to respect a kid (and his parents?) that would rather pay out-of-state tuition at Michigan than go somewhere else for free.  Best wishes for you Bo!

Says much, and I don't think we'll ever see that kind of blind devotion from a former player in our era.  Although we all did read the "baby Tress" story, which is actually more evidence of fan stupidity than player loyalty.

Eliminate or at least cool the much need for WRs? If so do we still take one of the four burbridge, Stanford, Thompson or chesson?

When you look at the big picture, there isn't really much difference between a walk on and a preferred walk on.  If he's a preferred walk on he gets to skip a try out or two and might have an easier time getting into UofM.  He can still essentially be cut from the team if the coaches want to.  I've never seen any backlash for a coach cutting a walk on during fall camp.  His dad played for Bo.  Legacies with a sufficient amount of talent generally get the offer of a walk on spot.

I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.

I've never seen someone complain about the use of the walk on slots.  There is no harm in bringing him in and if he's too injured to make the team, he's too injured to make the team.   If James Ross broke his leg next week, should we drop him too?

It's a walk-on spot.  He can lose it prior to fall camp to a different walk-on if he isn't healthy.  There is absolutely no reason to yank a walk-on offer from anyone, let alone a legacy.
