I just assumed that was part of the equation...maybe they have walkons

Nat Gas Man

Most of the team is comprised of walkons

How high can a high jumper jump if a high jumper could jump high?

If someone is jumping that well in HS, they may as well turn pro

I wanted my brother to go out for track at BYU. He jumped 6-6 in high school

SoCalCoug

That's about right. I did 6'8" (and 23' in the long jump) & got a walk-on offer.
