I disagree with this.   SU and SU fans treat the walk-ons like clowns with regard to playing time.   The crowd goes bananas when they get in the game and throw up circus shots.

They rarely get in the game before the 1:30 mark of a game when they are getting in and then we  treat their substitution like the changing of the guard, calling a timeout and making a mass substitution.

It also rubs me the wrong way the way the scholarship players cheer for them....a little too over the top.  I am glad they are happy for them, that is great to see, but it has always felt to me like a bit too much.    Almost like here are these guys that don't belong and hey look one of them actually just scored a point.

It is what it is, but I've always thought the way they are handled in game situations is a little goofy, especially given that JB was once a walk-on.

Anyway, if he can parlay his basketball skills into a scholarship somewhere next year, why not?
