Walk-on

[OrangeandBlack74]

Walk on like our current walk ons, or walk on that could challenge our schollie guys on a higher level?

If it's the kid I'm thinking of, he will be a nice addition to the team and could compete for a scholie down the road....much like Danny Adams did.

Very good comparison Chuck, I assume we will be hearing for sure very soon.

Hopefully he could develop into a Gavin Schaier-type.

Good comparison, BB.

Ok for those of us who have no clue who any of you are talking about, and I respect that we can not name this player, how about a few clues... is he a local product, is he a transfer etc?

Yes.....and yes.

Wow, one name definitely sticks out there.

I agree and it scares me, I like us where we are.

An individual not named DW from ICC?! I wouldn't see how he could help us though

A transfer from a D-1 or D-2 school would still have to sit out for a year right ? Even if they were a walk on ??

I don't think I transfer from a D2 would but I'm not positive.

[Da Coach]

If it is a transfer from D2 up to D1, then there is a required 1 year wait to be eligible. Even if they are a walkon.
If it is from D1 down to D2 or D3, then they are immediately eligible.

I know I know

however if they are granted a release from thier existing program couldn't they play right away. I remember there was discussion when Danny Granger left that we would not release the 1 year probation period.

[Da Coach]

No. The release by the previous school only allows the new school to award a scholarship to the transfer. He still has to sit out a year. There are no exceptions (the only exception was the new rule this year that applied to graduated 5th year seniors who transferred to do post-graduate work and had a year of eligibility left. But the NCAA recinded that rule when coaches complained it was being abused).

Granger would have had to sit out a year whether Bradley released him or not, but he had to pay his own way for that year because BU didn't release him.

[plymkr]

C'mon. I need more hints.

[amckillip]

C'mon. I need more hints.

I agree I keep checking email and the board hoping for some light on this issue, and nothing. I need BU BASKETBALL NEWS!!! BTW I am pretty sure I check this board religiously even when I am not expecting news, it just makes it more nerve racking when I am.

[plymkr]

Thanks for the heads up amc Sorry for posting a name. Will watch that in the future.

[plymkr]

That would be great, but I guess he wouldn't qualify as a Gavin S. type? If that's all it is why are we so excited? How about Jeffrey Jordan?...Not local. HELP!!

[Da Coach]

plymkr, check your PM's. I have sent you a little more info about this.
