Walk-On Tryouts

#33 Sam Sealy of Longwood.  Yeah, he played there and exists...

Video of longwood.  Not great quality, but you can tell which one Sealy is.  Tall light-skinned center.  Looks mobile and athletic enough to give us some minutes and spell at the PF/C spot at times.

Longwood Basketball 2010

If he has the physical tools, I'm confident that Rico and Dunlap can make him serviceable for a few minutes a game, especially against weaker non-conference opponents.

Me and Traczok saw him walking out of CA on Friday night.  Was wondering who the tall kid was.

He looks a lot taller than 6'5" in the videos.  I'm 6'2" and there's no way that kid is only 3 inches taller than me.

Yes, kids should study 23 hours per day.  The other hour is for sleep, food and bathroom break...

I am thinking back and you are right

How can we follow him if the players aren't allowed to tweet?

Maybe walk ons are excluded

Know this is crazy but I am getting as excited to see the walkons as the recruits!  LOL  Expecting 5-6 Phil Masseres! With the great coaching they will receive why can't a few at least be contributors?

We know the staff can improve players so I'm with you.  Give me another 2 Missere's and I'd be more than pleased.

6' shooting guard

There is a reason why he is not a Div I scholarship player, I understand he had Div II offers but had a scholarship or grant so he could go anywhere and his schooling was paid for so he decided to walk on

Obviously, he's not Walter Berry. Hopefully, we can get 10-12 minutes out of him until Pelle and Garrett get their grades in order.

Never seen him play nor did he play in the tougher CIF conferences here in So Cal but I think several of these walk on's can contribute in spurts until the reinforcements get here.
