Will hold open tryouts at the Joe Craft Center from 630-800 for walk on spots.

This is really funny they are doing this. How many do you think the team has show up for this?

Guessing a lot the story says you have to email your credentials and then guessing the staff picks a select few to actually show up for the tryout.

I’m a pretty easy going, light hearted person. I do not know what’s funny about them doing this??? 😂

Every team in America has walk on spots, including every single team under Cal. Difference is, Pope is giving kids the chance to make the team instead of Cal hand picking his friends kids to be on the team as walk ons.

This is how they used to pick walkons in the prehistoric era. Wasn't Ravi Moss found this way?
I may have seen that in a fever dream.

Some lucky students get to live the dream.

I think the kids should be picked by what they can do off the court that would be beneficial to the program:
-Do they come from a family that could be potentially great donors to the program?
-Do they have influential family in the basketball community?
-Could they be a piece that could help get an elite recruit?

I don't care where they are from or if they can dribble.

I would have crawled over glass for a shot like this when I was at UK.

As much as I disliked Bobby Knight, “Knight School”, the Texas Tech walk-on tryout reality show from 2006 was great TV. Anyone else remember that?

Would have been much easier to say you want Rich kid walk-ons.
