This is the type of player many in this forum were hoping to get as the 12 or 13th roster player. Someone with decent skills, who would be happy if they get little or no playing time this season, who would not likely transfer next year and who could develop as a contributor by his third season. Added bonus is the kid is a good three point shooter that may work in the four out scheme.
To get this type of player as a walk on is a bonus. Kudos to the coaching staff for putting in the extra effort of finding potential hidden gems to fill these spots.
