It looks like when his coach tweets about him being a walk onStill confused from the other thread- so is he confirmed as a walk-on? Seems way too talented to be so? Also, we now have Ajax and AJohns. Almost like when we had Donny and Donyell Marshall.
Yup, smart adjustment by Hurley. He gets a development player and big guard who's unlikely to transfer, and who has potential to be a contributor as an upperclassman.Walk-on or not, will be a practice body for sure, I think Hurley is realizing theres no reason to have 3 or 4-stars on your deep bench when they'll likely just transfer away before they even play. MakAnd es more sense to have local kids who could potentially develop by year 4 who want to be at Uconn.
That’s a interesting take .Walk-on or not, will be a practice body for sure, I think Hurley is realizing theres no reason to have 3 or 4-stars on your deep bench when they'll likely just transfer away before they even play.

Hey kid I can’t offer you a scholarship but I can give you a free ride through NIL and you can compete your way onto the court. It’s a no-brainer for a kid like this.NIL will help majors get walk ons who could play lower D1.
As NIL is supposed to work, I'm not sure how that would be the case. NIL isn't supposed to function on a whole team basis, and I'm not sure who is paying for walk ons individually.NIL will help majors get walk ons who could play lower D1.
Has 1 year of eligibility left, maybe we can convince him to come be a dual sport athleteAll we need to do now is find a recruit named Samson Jackson. Then we could send out a lineup where the defense could really get confused on switching.
Some of you are deranged.
He’s a walk-on.
It’s basically June - if he was getting a scholarship offer somewhere else, he’d be there already. We’re not putting together NIL deals to corral mid-major kids.
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.Much more competitive practice than the standard walk in though right?
