Would we take a 5'8" walk on, this kid can play. Sonny J sent out a great video. http://occac.org/sports/mbkb/2016-17/players/tjsteele1fd1...

Well - first he would have to be enrolled/engage/express interest

At 5'8" - Really needs to have PG skills and shooting skills. Highlight reel I found shows a lot of shooting, little dishing. Appx 4 assts avg in that league - pretty low. 42% 3 shooter - 78% FT shooter - in that league - um....don't think so

He played his high school ball at Shaker and single handedly beat Garfield Heights who had two SEC recruits. He shoots 52% from the the field and 43% from the three. He has an excellent handle. He may also help us get some Northeast ohio guys. I wish he would have went to a better JUCO, but I have to think he is better than any walk on we have now. I agree that he is a shoot first point guard which may be good for our inept bench. The coach will need to be able to get some walkons that can play, we have 3-4 nonfactors going into next year on schollie. All of of our signees will need to hit.

Who are you counting as the 3-4 non factors next year? I only see the potential of two. One of them would be a contributor right now if he were able to get, then stay, healthy.

Wadley, Dozier and Harley. Gollon could be limited due to injury.

Unless something has changed, Wadley won't be returning because he'll graduate, right?

Harley has shown to be capable when healthy, and unfortunately for him that hasn't been often. Gollon is an unknown, though I get the idea that he'll be a contributor with three years left.

Dozier is the only one that, so far, I'd agree with, but man, is he athletic! Given the two freshman coming in, you never know, he might opt to try someplace else to get PT.
