Sky Williams

And who knew she was an avid bowler? Or is that her purse?

She needs to be put on the "What Not to Wear" cam.

Thankfully, we weren't playing the pimps.

She can go 'naked' as long as she writes some big checks...

Saw a tweet that Sky Williams is in Florida training at same place where Cle's most recent video was completed. His Twitter sky_the_limit13 has a pic with Sky and Scottie Wilbikin of Florida. Nice to see that our walkons are willing to work this hard. I don't know if it will translate to playing time, but will translate to better practice player and teammate.

1. I am confused.
2. Is Sky on the team?
3. Is he a redshirt?
4. Is he eligible to play in the '14-'15 season?
5. How many years of eligibility?
6. Lastly, is there a possibility that he will earn a scholarship?

Thanks in advance.

Sky walked on as a transfer mid-season last year and couldn't play because of standard transfer rules. He is going to be on the team and eligible to play in 14-15 as a walk-on. There has not been any public discussion of him receiving a scholarship and I think he will remain a walk-on.

And if he is going to the trouble of attending a pre season camp, I am beginning to lean in the direction that he might be earning playing time. Does a kid really go do that if coach didn't encourage it? ...and does coach encourage that if he sees him as someone who will never play? hmmmm

Coach may or may not have encouraged it, but there's no way any coach would ever _discourage_ a player -- walk-on or not -- from improving their skills by attending a camp. Nothing but goodness can come from it, even if the player doesn't eventually earn PT.

Fair enough. If it was the player's prerogative only, then I will at least go ahead and conclude that Sky Williams has some cash flow going for him :)

I also think that Cle and Sky are very, very good friends. Sky went down there to train with Cle and just hang out with him in South Florida. Everyone needs people they can trust in their circle.

Sky is a walk-on. He is apparently a member of the team because he was introduced with the team at the awards ceremony in Koch Arena on April 24. However, he was not part of the team in 2013-14. Details will probably be available once the 2014-15 rosters are up.

I suppose it's always possible for a walk-on to earn a scholarship based on performance at practices and in games. But he won't be on scholarship next year for sure.

I don't recall how much actual reported information we've had on this, but it seems likely that his friendship and contact with Cle are what brought Sky to WSU in the first place. So what Sky is able to do here in the future and how he fits into the program will be up to him, but he certainly has up-close first hand knowledge of a Shocker success story.

Not unusual for a walk on. :)

Bump. Any update on his status? Just wondering.
