It's not totally black and white, but Reed usually gives it away walk-on status in season previews and other articles. I don't know why Reed talks about his walk-ons like this and think it is unnecessary, but he does it every single season. From this years Lehighsports preview.
"Zed Farrell and David Roelke joined our team out of the student population and have worked hard in practice and so far, have really fulfilled their role of bringing energy, a servant attitude and depth in our practice setting," said Reed. Obviously walk-ons, and come on a "servant attitude?!?!
"Shane's initial role for our program was making his teammates better in practice, but the game slowed down for him and he was able to contribute in his role at a higher level," said Reed. "Due to some injuries and a lack of depth last year, he answered the call extremely well when he was asked to compete and contribute in contests with some notable performances. That should create a better foundation and higher beginning point for this season." Walk-on with maybe a chance to play a bit
"Josh's commitment level to the game has increased over the course of his career," Reed continued. "He is part of a roster to support and make players better in practice and live up to the standards of wearing a Lehigh basketball uniform." Clearly a walk-on
The comments on Foley make me think he is on scholarship..."Joe has been very impressive in all of our interactions with him," said Reed. "He is one of the top defenders guarding dribble penetration in our entire program. His combination of being a strong floor athlete with lateral quickness and the fact that he has length (at 6-foot-3) makes him a valuable defensive weapon. He also has innate vision, something that can't be taught and something that not a lot of players have; he has a bit of a sixth sense when he's out on the floor and can see plays develop and materialize."
