Class of 2020 Walk-Ons

Great get


I don't like promises like this, but I hope all goes well.
I don’t see the problem. Scholarship level kid who we can’t take because of how good we are doing on the trail. It’s new territory around here and it’s a good sign. Also 6’2” so that’s always a plus. 
 

Both Hahn and Gifford wouldn’t be coming here if we offered a regular walk-on spot.

My problem is with handicapping future recruiting classes, but I guess this can help when there's attrition and we can only have so many initial counters.

Attrition is actually a good thing as long as you aren’t losing starters and quality players. You are just breathing some life into the program having kids move on and bringing in new blood. Even so...we’re spreading it out until 18 months.

When was the last time we took a kid out of 8 man?  Honest question, I don't know.

I’m sure if he gets here and it’s clear he’s not going to contribute, he won’t get the scholarship.
