Did we find out any other info on this? Is this a possible walk-on?

 

 

He has offers from Drake, Austin Peay, VMI, and UIC. I'd be surprised if all 4 of his interest were walk-on offers, and I'd be even more surprised if we offered him a walk-on vs 3 scholarship offers. The excitement on Drake's board seems to suggest he's a scholarship offers for them. 6'7" southpaw listed as a guard. Looks somewhat raw but malleable with a solid foundation. Athletic, can shoot, and can finish at/above the rim. His academy was top 5-10 in the country as of February 2023. The tweets describing him are an athletic 3&D guy who plays strong above the rim on both ends.

He definitely doesn't seem like a walk-on type, but I thought we were out of schollys?

We are, which is interesting. They just announced the recruiting class the other day, and now we have this offer go out. Is someone not happy with Ali Ali returning? With Ali Ali coming in, does that bump someone out of a rotation spot based on style of play?

 

When you look at the roster, we have 2 incoming freshman, so unless one of them somehow decommits, their scholarships aren't opening up. Tribble/Freeman/Dawson are seemingly locks to return. Hunter/Scott/Thornton are transfers who would have to sit out another year (Scott & Thornton are incoming this year, so I guess they could technically decommit? I don't know how that would work). Prather Jr/Lyles/N Johnson/T Johnson are the sophomores/redshirt freshman that can freely move and aren't seemingly locked into returning based on their limited time here. Does Ali Ali push Lyles down the bench? Are one of the guards unhappy/looking for more PT? 

 

Interesting situation.
