I haven’t seen much on the two walks-ons. Any expectation they could have an impact at some point in their careers as preferred walk-ons? Were they being recruited much by anyone else?

[Da Coach]

Hardtke reportedly had lower division offers (D3 and NAIA). He also had FCS football offers.
One of his football offers was from Valparaiso-

I haven't seen any mention of Hennessy's offers.

Valpo football (like Drake and Butler) is non-scholarship, and basically glorified D3. I've always thought it'd be cool for BU to join that conference and play at Peoria Stadium. Downside is it would lose money which might hurt MBB. It would force athletics to start up a large women’s team like soccer.
