HS seniors games this weekend in Cedar Rapids

[mred]

This is what my daughter was told when she asked Coach F if she could be considered for a walk on position.

Is she planning to attend ISU? I found an article online that states (perhaps incorrectly) that she plans to attend a certain Div II university -- the same one that a former high school and current juco teammate of hers is going to attend.

Actually it will not be DII until the following year. This coming year it is still NAIA. She had numerous offers from DII and many offers from NAIA. I guess she just wants to attend Iowa State....Go figure

I think her performance stats would indicate that she probably could be a walk on, might see playing time ala Flo and Mo, but BF has talked numerous times about how valuable walk ons are to the team even if they don't see much court time. well, no matter where she goes, I wish her the best of success.

Oh...she IS going to Iowa State. In fact, we are heading to Ames this weekend to evaluate different apartment complexes.

I hope you realize that BF does get a little emotional during the games and may at times say things that are over the top. So, I hope you daughter has a thick skin and can take everything he dishes out and more. Since my google skills aren't as good as Red's I have not figured out the identity of the young lady. I wish her all the best both on and off the court. My I success some of the apartment complexes out by the new practice facilities. They are on the bus lines and that area seems to be a quiet and safe neighborhood. It is also within walking distant of HyVee and Cazadors (my favorite restaurant).

We have been going to games since Jayme and Janell were juniors, so we are well aware of the emotion of the coach.

We are looking, for now, in the area by the Dakota streets.

I wish her all the best. Too bad for your wallet she took a pass on schollies, but I imagine you are quite proud of her. Here's hoping she gets to walk-on and wear the cardinal and gold if that is what she wants.

You should check out West Towne. I lived there this year in a 2-bedroom and the rent's pretty reasonable, and the apartments are nice. It's a block off South Dakota on Mortenson.

Took me all of about 30 seconds of internet research to figure out who your daughter is.

Dang, with your expertise, I figured you'd have her name in 20 seconds tops. You on a slow connection or something?

That was the area I mentioned. Good place and close to the practice gyms.

We will have at least one new point guard as a walk-on. She was a very good player this year in high school, but was not as highly recruited for two reasons. First, she never played any AAU during high school. Second, her team did not make the state tournament. They were very close a couple of years, but critical injuries at the wrong time prevented them from making it.

Fan of, are you from her town? I know who you are talking about and wondered if you have close connections to WBB or are from the same town as her.

Does BF announce his walk ons early? I am remember Abby Reinert just sort of showing up on the team. Lange was mentioned because she transferred from Creighton. But, I don't think he ever makes a formal statement like in the Koby Ingle case.

I don't believe he can recruit walk ons or offer a walk on position until the student is enrolled and attending classes, but I have been wrong before.

He can, but it can jeopardize any other scholarships the player has (or possibly count against his scholarship limit) so the safest thing to do is just not offer walk-on positions before an athlete is enrolled.
