Hes a pretty dang solid pickup for a walk-on, but with that being said, we have turned into walk-on and Jucco U.

What happened between the end of the State Tourney and now that all of the sudden he is walk-on worthy? When I suggested he could fill a Jake Sullivan-type role at ISU as a shooter that was maybe a little better at creating his own shot, I was ripped and Kody was ripped even worse!

Greg Mcdermott got him to walk on. You were giving him a Scholly.

He is just walking on. This kid will barely see the court even if he stays till he is a senior.

For what it is worth, Jeff Hornacek was a walk-on. Turned out pretty well in our favor.


Actually, IIRC, Horny was a "preferred" walk on, and Orr promised him that he'd be on scholarship by his second year in the program.

And as far as comparing a walk-on today to Jeff Hornacek: I think that its only a fair comparison if we convince Orr & Hallihan to come back & mentor the kid. GMac hasn't exactly proven that he's good at retention or development.

But that's not really appropriate for today: Thanks for chosing ISU. I really hope that everything works out great for you here.

Absolutely correct. You are "RC". Johnny said unequivocably that he would offer him a scholarship in year 1 if he had one, but he didn't. He offered him a scholarship in year 2 before he ever set foot on campus.

Oh that's why? Hmm... I don't think that is the reason at all. Kody is a better shooter than Barnes, Barnes is just waaaaay more athletic, get your facts straight bud.
