McKay just said that Ohman is no longer a walk-on. Did we know this already?

Yesh. Where did he say that? Did he give an interview or something?

He's in the radio booth at the baseball tournament.

But that is obviously our big hole on the team next year!
Sammy Jackson? Samuel L. Jackson? I didn't make that connection until now. Get ready for the Pulp fiction references on Flames Television Next year.

I wonder if his wallet has dirty words written on it.

One more. A perfect line for the dunk or blocked shot:

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger "

Nice! I have to google some more Sam quotes. Ones that I can actually say without the FCC and FTN coming down on me with "Great Vengeance and Furious Anger"

Based on a previous cryptic remark I'm expecting this to be a Nigerian post player, but don't know where the scholarship will come from. Possibly non-athletic? In the past LU gave tuition scholarships to international students and they paid room and board by work-study jobs.

You guys are a riot. And I would suggest that Scar not invest too much time in the Pulp Fiction research.

Yea Sly I think you are right. I just heard that we have some more great news on the recruiting front too but I guess I am not the one to break news on this board. If I did, my sources would dry up. I will let you "real" media types battle it out.

Why do you think I have been so cryptic in this thread?

Hopefully something will be announced shortly.

I hope so too. I can't wait to find out who our new assistant coach will be too.

Is anyone else trying to put 2 and 2 together from Sly & Scar's cryptic messages? Maybe there's an assistant coach out there who has a big man for a son, who wouldn't need a scholarship? :idea:
Keep those guesses coming! :dontgetit

Possible reference to where a scholarship may become available?

Willis would be an awesome hire. But I haven't heard anything about that.

Getting a big man would be great, but if it means one of our current signees is not coming, I hope it is not a transfer who has to sit out a year. That would leave us with only 10 scholarship players available. That's enough if they all can play, but not much wiggle room if someone gets hurt.

I think it may be a kid who was on the practice team last year, I think his name was Peter maybe. He was good but there was no room on the roster with Ace and Rell. I think he is about 6'8". Maybe he will be a reliable walk-on next year?

But that wouldn't be something I'd think would be big news. Hopefully it will be a good big man who has some experience...

Maybe the kid McKay was originally going to bring will come back? Who knows. Hopefully we will find out soon Sly Fox!

I had a roommate a couple years ago named Peter who was on the practice squad. Real nice guy too.

Heard that Sammy Jackson is definitely NOT coming now, but we've got a potentially great one that IS heading to the mountain.

supposedly pretty good size, athletic, and more importantly will NOT be playing guard
