Welcome Jack Anderson!

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.

What's the diff b/w preferred walk on and walk on?

One has the word preferred in front of it. Duh.

[Lennys Tap]

Who said Shaka wouldn't take a transfer this year? Just hope nobody thinks he's being recruited over.

From my I understanding, they have a position on the team guaranteed

It sounds like a rodent scholarship almost.

Maybe becomes our Jack Gohlke?

Welcome, young man.   I hope you are part of the solution to the our-walk-ons-can't-shoot problem.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

May he obtain legendary walk on status like Rob Frozena.

Technically, they have a guaranteed opportunity to try to make the team. For all intents and purposes, he has a position on the team as a walk on, unless NIL $$ comes in and we get a 5 star recruit as a walk on.

What is that guarantee?

Shaka heard the selection committee chair loud and clear.  A big boost for our "matrix."

When is the last time MU has had a preferred walk-on?  I'm only familiar with this term because the Badgers seem to do it quite often; I believe Carter Gilmore was a preferred walk-on before being given a scholarship after his freshman season (could be totally wrong about that, though).

So, I guess my understanding of a "preferred" walk-on is that a scholarship isn't out of the question if there's one open and the team has no one else to use it on.  But I admittedly have a very limited understanding.

Why don't you call Shaka and ask him? Some schools guarantee a spot, and are next in line if a scholarship miraculously opens up, others guarantee a walk on spot without having to "try out".

Marquette has had them all the time. As JB is alluding to, it doesn't really mean anything.

It is worse. Not keeping up with the Joneses or Hurley.

in football, preferred usually means a player is in line for a scholly. Whether that means after a season, two seasons...probably a tbd scenario...but is an avenue for a program to pick-up talent that might develop. I'm thinking Badger AA safety Jim Leonhard was initially a preferred walk-on.
Not that I obsess over the Badgers.

Could be Marquette's version of Duncan Robinson...

Fundamentally very different situations. Robinson played at one of the top D3 programs, and it was immediately apparent that he was overlooked. He had no shortage of D1 suitors when he announced his transfer.
