Ritchie has customarily had 2 or 3 walk-ons, but I don't believe there is any NCAA limit. A few years ago when we played App St. I remember seeing a team photo with 25 players in uniform, which would mean at least 12 walk-ons. Dean Smith usually had at least 5, so he could sub them all in at once for a minute or 2 if he was unhappy with the effort of his regulars.

Pure speculation, but I would not be shocked to see Josh Price take Gabe's place on the Trevecca Nazarene roster.

Obviously a rhetorical question coming from you, 8) but for those who don't know, of course not. On the other hand, it's easier to conduct a good practice with a few extra players beyond the 13 scholarship guys.

Just playing my part. :D

Hard to say “walk-on spots” at a specific number.

This is obviously a dad looking for a spot for his boy. Good luck!

Excuse me while I risk throwing out my shoulder patting myself on the back, but.........


No source. It just made sense to me. He and Brendan should be a potent inside/outside combination there.
