khoock Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Any news on the class of walkons for this year? Seems like we should be adding two to three pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khoock Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Based on you know a couple of guys who will be walking on or based on the need for bodies?Just seems like we have typically had 3 to 4 walkons a season during Miles tenure and currently only have one. So I'm assuming we would add some more but I have no information on it. Was hoping someone on here might have an idea or some inside knowledge on it.

AuroranHusker Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 From prior years, it seems that they're not typically named until after classes have started. The so-called 'smart' walk-on is more favorable since they are on academic scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A walk on who has an academic scholarship is an advantage over a regular dumb walk on? How so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A walk on could carry an academic scholarship and participate in practices, but the moment he/she stepped on the court/field they would lose it. hhcmatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A walk on who has an academic scholarship is an advantage over a regular dumb walk on? How so? The obvious advantage is the use of a non-athletic scholarship for a "unrecruited" walk-on. There are recruiting rules in places for this circumstance, that's why the players aren't named until after school is in session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the advantage that could be gained there and the rules in place to stop these occurrences. What I didn't understand was what advantage was gained by having an academic scholarship walk on versus a regular walk on. They are both walk ons so eat up no athletic scholarships.

Because walk ons who aren't going to play meaningful minutes for you and don't get good grades drag down your APR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basketballjones Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Walk-ons affect the APR? I thought it was only scholly players. Huh. I don't believe walk-ons affect APR. But I could be wrong. What you can do, however, is give walk-ons with great grades and graduating soon a scholarship after the year starts and that would affect your APR. Did I use the right affect?

Being 'Old School' I'm continually appalled at the poor use of the language across the web (weren't you the one who said twitter was the place good grammar went to die?)
