I wonder if he'll be a walk-on or a scholarship player. Anybody know?

 

[Rhoadhoused]

He doesn't have a scout or a rivals profile.

 

[A-town Cy]

His buddy just tweeted this at me;

@AtownCY he's gonna be a preferred walk-on i believe. Not a scholarship athlete

Sounds like a great get for a walk-on!

I think his name is Actually Aaron Law? not low

Yeah it is.

My hope is that this has something to do with getting Niang whether Law just wants to join him or this will help land him. I really wish we could find an in with Noel.

Hopefully just a walk on. If it is it sounds like our second walk on joining the program. Some guy named Devon from Long Beach california as the other one.

How does a coach convince someone to walk-on and pay out-of-state tuition? Or is there something worked out somehow to at least pay in-state tuition as a walk-on?

Otherwise, I just don't see why somebody would do it. I'm glad to have these guys, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't make sense to me to pay out-of-state tuition for the slim chance of occasional seconds/minutes of game time.

Great Plains Pizza. Also, access to Reiman Gardens.

Those aren't improper benefits? Don't we need him to "accidentally" discover those? If the coaching staff tells him, that could be an unfair advantage in recruiting.

Hickory Park would convinceme to come to Ames.

 

[Knownothing]

Can we call him A.C Law 5? Just curious

Maybe he received academic scholarship??? Iowa State has many good things to offer.

that would still count toward our basketball scholarship count. so probably not likely if he is going to play here.

No it wouldn't. Are you really trying to tell me if a guy gets like $2-$3k a year on academics and happens to make the basketball team, that it would count against the team scholarship count? Come on man.

Full ride scholarship would I think but would a lesser amount for example covering difference between out-of-state and in-state tuition???

Two thoughts:

1) Haven't we found that the academic scholarship would count him as a scholarship player? I don't think he can do that.

2) I love ISU. I'm getting another degree there right now. We have a lot to offer, but we don't necessarily offer him anything that he can't get at a school closer to home for a lot less money.

From anything I can find on this guy on the google, it seems like he's a defensive roll player. Sounds like Tilton loves to press and he's always up guarding the ball-handlers.
Never a bad thing to add another defender. And if he is a good defender, not only could he possibly come on and help during defensive situations, but he'll help out our starting squad in practice by playing some good D.
