I think more school's should have open try-outs, yes there would be a few drunken college kids that lost a bet showing up but I would guess that there would be 1 or 2 that could at least help the team with practices and be another body on the team. Preferred walk-ons are what SDSU's walk-ons are but there are some kids that would like to walk-on that just don't know who to talk to.
There's no harm in open tryouts, and it just might discover a hidden gem or two. There are planety of people who blayed HS BB who might be good enough to contribute, but didn't get noticed by scouts. If not, all you have done is let some of the students be a little more connected with the BB team than they might otherwise have.
