few frat bros went through the bernie workout.

Is it NSFW to ask what these private Bernie workouts were like?

Best walk-ons(football players don’t count) that I can remember:
-Tyrone Albright
-Ronneil Herron
-Justin Thomas
-The kid who came in when Howard fouled out in the NCAA game 2 years ago(whose name I can’t remember)

The kid from Florida who played in the backcourt with Brandon Knight as a prep. He was a solid player who probably could have been productive at the DII or III level. Bjorn was better though.

Most of these kids are not good players. But the walkons seem to be particularly bad lately. Red's kid and that Paul kid were probably DIII calibre players though. But I'm cool with it so long as their GPAs are good.

Ask GMac how that worked out in Scranton. Why would it work in Syracuse?

 

[Col. Bleep]

do people actually have a problem with this?

Sometimes yes.

And best Orange basketball walk-on ever probably was Donovan McNabb.

Brandon Reese. How quickly people forget. He was the fastest player on the team, played in the 6 overtime game and afterwards played pro in israel.

How about my name sake, Elimu Nelson. He was a walk on who got a scholarship and then was on tv shows. His dad was drove UPS and made stops at my dads shop in Boston. Good guy

Ronneil Herron and Andrew Kouwe were the two best shooters at SU I've ever seen. Kids were lights-out in practice, even against scholarship players.

Those guys were terrific practice guys, even if they never saw the court.

Herron even came in to shoot the FT’s(after either a technical or an injury?) against Michigan State(?) and made them.

i once made a nepotism crack about noah, and i fully admit it was made out of ignorance. i hope to see him at a clipper's game this year & congratulate him personally

They aren't mutually exclusive, though. Noah is incredibly talented and I could see him as a Jim Nantz-level sportscaster one day, but he also is almost certainly benefitting from nepotism in his early 20s.
