Good for him.

Well deserved IMO.  But sucks for us because we can't claim to be getting production from a walk on any more.

Really happy for him and the team. Great move by the staff!

Where does this factor into the Lincoln kid on scholarship discussion, it counts right?

[hhcmatt]

Inevitable given his play and us not landing Charles O'Bannon. Congrats, he very much earned this

I'd say so

Good for Charlie.

Now someine learn me something, is this a commitable like the rest of the scholarship players? As in, he is now on scholarship for the duration of his time here or until he decided to leave or just  a semester thing?

I'd assume this is for just the semester unless it's announced that it's for the rest of his time here

Thanks. 

 

Just curious on how that works bc i thought the B1G offered the "4-year commitable scholarship" deal. Which was why there was a big fuss about Hoiberg getting rid of Miles' players riggr away bc a coaching change is the only time you can pull schollies and force kids out. 

 

But im assuming there is some type of loop hole to allow you to temporarily award walkons with scholarships when you have extra.

 

Anyway, good for Charlie!

I am fairly confident this only applies to guys that are initially on scholarship

Its no different than when Miles had an open scholarship for the spring semester and gave it to walk ons like Borchardt. Come fall they are walk ons again.

There's an important distinction here for Charlie besides getting his school paid for (for a semester.) It also means he gets some of the other advantages reserved for scholarship players. For instance, I believe walk-ons don't get the full training table treatment that scholarship athletes get. So … food. Which is a big deal to some of us.

I was living in Mpls when Drevo lit up the Gophers for a win, everyone @ the “Y” the next day was bitching about how they got beat by a “walk-on” from Nebraska

Much of the focus has been on Charlie's hustle.  But don't sleep on his ability to shoot and score.  As he gets more comfortable, his good looking stroke will produce points.

This is what I’ve been saying.  He’s a scrapper for sure, but the kid is a player.  He’s also our physically strongest guard and plenty athletic.  The only knock is his height at the 2 in my mind.

Umm what?  He’s a freshman... he does good things.  Heard the same about Thor, Benny P, Tai Webster...

He can play a few minutes but I'd like to see more Green.  This team needs more playmakers.  Only 2 points and 1 assist for Charlie today.
