Since Veeny mentioned this in another thread, I'll post this here linkSamm Jones, point guard from Minneapolis visited Friday night. His team has won five consecutive state championships in Minnesota. There's very little info about him regarding recruiting, and I'm guessing he would be a preferred walk-on, as opposed to a scholarship player. If you search on the internet, you'll find an interview with him after they won the state championship this year. The interview was widely played on various social media for a short time.

From his twitter feed it looks like he's been accepted at Notre Dam and Northwestern. So he's a smart kid. He sounds like a tough defender as well. Perhaps he's coming on an academic scholarship with the prospect of playing some ball. Doesn't look to be highly recruited, but he's a winner.
Moving forward.....

You guys are a joke if just because we have a had less than a hand full of walk-ons make a impression on Drake basketball that all of a sudden our destiny lies in the hands of walk-ons. I could give a rat's --- about what his ACT score. Kapeesh

DoggyStyle, in all fairness, players that walk on can play an important role. Bucky Cox, Emmennecker, Baryenbruch, .. who else? ... all walked on to start out at Drake. Iowa's Baer was walk on until last week, he had a hail of season this year. I will agree that typically the status of a walk on doesn't always mean a ton. This Sammy Jones is winner though, I can't find any video of Sammy but I'd like to see him in action. He played Ore in a one on one and scored over him in a little video on twitter.

It's easy to support a winner, but it take real dedication to be a Bulldog fan. I'm sick of the bitchin' and moanin', suck it up or do something about the problem and quit acting like of bunch of little girls(probably not politically correct but I'm too old to worry about that crap).
