Title: Zach Hodskins-Florida
Post by: mubb34 on October 21, 2013, 08:19:06 PM
I am not sure if anyone on here has heard of this kid, but what a cool story! The kid can straight up play basketball......with ONE arm. He is 6'4 200 lbs and will be a preferred walk on at Florida.

Jake Thomas: preferred walk-on who had a spot on the team coming in, but no scholarship (even though he eventually got scholarships)

Dylan Flood: walk on who had to earn a spot through try outs

Effectively it's just a gold star of no value symbolically given to a walk-on.
