new walk on

[Ta town]

transfer from ULL:

6-9 Kadeem Coleby, will sit out and have one year left starting next season.

Averaged 9.5, 4.9, 2.4blks for ULL last season in 30 games.

Mentions Bush as the other walk on. I wonder if this means A.) Joe Mitchell is not on the team any longer or B.) Bush did not receive his release and doesn't actually count as one of the walk ons this year.

EDIT: not 100 percent sure but looks to be another Canadian

I don't believe there's any limit to the number of walkons a school can have, so I don't think this would have any effect on Mitchell.

I didn't read anything in Sully's tweets that indicated Bush and Coleby were the only walk-ons on the roster. So no reason at this point to think the Joe is not on the team. As Aargh stated there is no limit to the number of walk-ons AFAIK.

Also, Coleby's status as a walk-on vs a scholarship player next year is unkown at this point. He might pay his own way his transfer year and be on scholarship next year as was the case with Malcolm Armstead.

Damn, we're sure going to look good at the airport... :fat:

Something to point out, he's from Houston, Texas. Another Texas kid on the roster.

He was also on the Bahamian junior national team. Seemed to play for some AAU team in Canada too. He's all over the world.

I believe there is 13 scholarships and 15 total per mens team. maybe I'm wrong

There's no limit on the number of walk-ons. Only a limit on how many can suit up/play during any given game (15). That's rarely an issue. I know KU had 16 one year and the walk-ons rotated who didn't dress. But in this case, neither Bush nor Coleby would be able to play this year anyway.

Texas? He is from the Bahama's then via Canada. He did attend prep school in Texas I believe.

I was wrong then, good to know.

I meant that he graduated HS from a school in Texas, with regards to our recruiting footprint.

Coleby was a three star by both Rivals and Scout when he joined ULL. It's possible this could complete our 2013 class if Hawkins gets here. However, with visitors coming in, I believe we will sign at least one more.

250 on his updated ESPN player profile (not a recruit profile, his profile from ULL).

CHUB ALERT!

Can somebody Photoshop this new guy onto Kai's picture opposite Lufile with Wiggins and and Cle in the middle? All I'll need then is a moist towel and seclusion until the first tip-off.




I'm sorry, did I go to far?
