NashvilleBilliken Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I knew he was playing ball next year, but didn't think it was this sleazy. It goes to show what a bunch of cash will get you. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB1204...NjgwNTYxWj.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextYearBill Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 If I were in his situation I would ask my dad to pay my way and open up a scholarship to someone more needy, making my team better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Hoops Insider Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Are walkons limited in the things they can do with the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me, I'd be a self-indulgent bastard and accept a scholarship that i didn't deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIUSalukis Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Are walkons limited in the things they can do with the team? I don't believe so. In football, there is a limit of walkons that can use the training table and other things, thus the term "preferred walk on", but I dont think that would apply for bball unless you had about 5 or 6 walkons.

combes Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I knew he was playing ball next year, but didn't think it was this sleazy. It goes to show what a bunch of cash will get you. http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB1204...NjgwNTYxWj.html Jeff Jordan walked on at Illinois, has worked his arse off, and is getting time on the court. He is the complete opposite of Romeo. At least Jeff was offered scholarships by Valpo and most of the MAC. I will say that his dad does cause quite a stir when he shows up to games. Jeff needs to work on his guard skills which are improving, but having a 47 inch vertical (measured in the preseason) is fun to watch.

If I were Floyd and had to take him in order to get the real player, it probably is worth it. He won't see the court much, but he brings instant publicity.

I don't care, there's probably only a dozen guys in the NBA, if that, that have hops like that. Really? I've always heard that MJ's was 48, any other figures?

Thinks like offseason workouts and possible trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have no problem w/ hip hop, but it's pretty ridiculous if you step back and look at it. Bow Wow. Snoop Dogg. Master P. Lil' Romeo. Deez doooos' family trees probably look like a NCAA Tourney bracket tripped acid, flipped the proverbial "scrip" to inverted portrait mode and mated w/ a canine registry.
