Who has been the most productive walk on Brave over the years

[Samd2]

After watching CW step up and get some minutes this year I was wondering which walk on players have produced the most over the years?

The most recent I can remember I think was a walk on was Danny Adams

lets hear what everyone else thinks

Roger Phegley.

Baseball scholarship as a Freshman.

Aaron Zobrist

Aaron was a "recruited walk on" who earned a scholarship after his sophomore season at Bradley.

I think Aaron and his dad did most of the recruiting...at least early on

Jim Molinari didn't need too much convincing, as I recall. I remember Jim telling me Aaron was the best shooter in high school that he had ever seen.

I don't think so either, I was mainly saying that Zobrists intiated the contact.
I know Jim made sure Aaron knew how hard he needed to work, Jim was concerned about his size and quickness...but Aaron was one that improved his game dramatically every year IMO. We haven't seen guards like Parker and Zobrist cut off screens and make shots since.
I don't think we have screened as well as since those days either

I go with Aaron too..

But as Mo said once, people forget what an excellent athlete that Aaron was.

He was not simply, a stand up jump shooter.

Interestingly the walk-ons that have played, have tended to be point guards.

Charon,
Adam Carl (I think that was his name;late albeck era)
The point guard early in the JL regime, had spiked hair

I think this is because often walk-ons are very talented players who don't have the height and size to be recruited, and, obviusly, PG is the position where height is the least critical.

anyone have suspicions and doubts about this story of 5-Star player Andre Drummond paying his own way at UConn as a walk on??

This may not count as I believe he was recruited from Bradley's intramural league during his senior year.. Another old fan may have to help with this as it goes way back. I believe the name was Buford 'Booty' Heidenrich. I am unsure of the last name's spelling. This dates back to either the late 50's or the early 60's. I believe he was about 6'3" and may even have started some games.

Since this was over 50 year's ago, I might as well say I could be wrong
