New Preferred Walk-On, Jack Anderson is transferring in from Keystone College. Average 21 points a game for Keyston College, a D3 squad with a losing record. He shot 39.6% from three with 74 made last season. He was also an Academic All-American. Not expecting any meaningful minutes for him but there are certainly worse guys to have at the end of your bench.

Excellent news for Jack and MU. Great story got cut from basketball in Middle School kept working his way up , eventually made JV and finally Varsity Senior year , kept improving through out college averaging over 40 Percent from 3 ovwr the three years he played.

Now Jack gets to experience being part of a Big Time Winning program . Will add a great dimension to the Scout team .

A fundamental problem with this thread is everyone is trying to define a term -- "preferred walk-on" -- that really doesn't have a single definition. It means different things to different programs. When I hear it, I generally think of it as a non-scholarship player who contacts a coach to see if he/she might be able to have a spot on a team before choosing a school -- rather than just showing up. They work with a coach/athletics department through the application/enrollment process similar to how the scholarship athletes do.

A few years ago when I had more proximity to college sports and the recruiting process than I do now, that was usually the gist of what "preferred walk-on" meant. Some called it "recruited walk-on." Some kids I knew who were in that situation had expectations that they might eventually be considered for scholarships. Some did not.

So, "preferred" might mean they get admissions preference. It might mean that they get a guaranteed roster spot. It might mean they are in line for a scholarship if one is available. These days, it might mean they get NIL money. Or, it might just be a phrase a kid (or his parents) uses to feel better about being a walk-on after spending years telling everyone they were going to get a scholarship.

You know it's a slow day when the preferred walk in gets this much run

Michael Jordan was once cut from his team. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

No offense to Jack, but I was hoping that we would get a preferred walk on who was a 7', big ass 275 lb. guy who could shoot 3's at about 40 % and rebound better than Edey ever did.

Edit: the "big ass" reference was my attempt to give Muggsy one of the things he really wants in a transfer.

Thought this was Ramsey?

It sounds like a rodent scholarship almost.

UW known for the "silent verbal", popularized during the re-recruitment of the Hauser boys after they left MU. As in " how can those a-holes sign with Virginia and MSU, when they gave Coach Gard a silent verbal 2 weeks ago"?

No. Ramsey is in the portal and the rumor is that he's going to Seton Hall.

Nope. I read it and asked a follow up long ago. No response, because there is none
