Has a weird release.. you can definitely tell hes a walk on.

I actually like his release....Long jumpers are released very high and at the peak of his jump....From the video, it seems as though his accuracy is decent also....

3 to play 2, and no scholarship needed for a decent 6'3" backup player who apparently has a good work ethic.

Hard to argue with that.

always need practice bodies

If he sees serious time, then you know we're in trouble. I wonder if they are cooling on Pledger to accept a player like him, although he's not taking up a scholarship. Altman still needs to find another scholarship guard and post for me to feel comfortable with the team.

Huh? No.

Walk-ons have nothing to do with potential scholarship players. Baker is better than your average walk-on, but he won't see the court unless it's in garbage time. No offense, but it's kind of laughable to even mention Pledger in the same breathe as Baker. Pledger is an elite talent who has had some off the court issues in the past.

It is nice that the scholarship players will be competing against a decent walk-on in practice.

you can tell he's a walk on by his release? Ever heard of that famous walk on Jamal Wilkes?
