Doh said in his blog that he was a walk-on and I haven't seen anything official to lead me to believe that has changed.

Rivals has him listed as having signed a LOI.

I saw that after you posted the info in a thread a couple weeks back. However, I am not certain that means he is on scholarship. Rivals also lists Duke Biggers, who I am certain was a recruited walk-on and not on scholarship, in 2002 . It is also possible that Alex Craft, listed in that same class, was not a scholarship player either.

Since it happened about the time the French guy surrendered, I figured they just passed it on to someone. Never know though.

I'm pretty sure this is like the 5 walkons who got scholarships for Football-SMU gave them a scholarship for 1 year because they are under the 13 and 85 Man Scholarship limitations for THIS YEAR due to attrition. All scholarships are one year renewable-I wouldn't assume they would be renewed if better athletes come around.

That could very well be the case and it would make complete sense.

Who has seen pick-up? I'm very encouraged about Justin Haynes' mile time. That means he's fully recovered from his injury that forced him out of last season. That said, can the kid be the legit 2G we need?

Also, I think the 2 new PGs will put a few points up. W/mike Walker playing combo, I think he'll drop a few more bombs.

Alex Malone is the most gifted volume scorer on the team. If he's worked on getting to the hoop, drawing some contact and finishing, he'll be a rounded offensive weapon. He could easily be a double digit scorer.

Craft was on scholarship.

Technically, all scholarships are 1 year renewable. So, there may be an agreement that financial aid is only for this year, or future aid is based on how much he plays this year, etc.

So, you'd only have to kick one guy off the team to sign the 3 man class you want.

Don't know if there's anything official floating around on the net, but he is on scholarship now (due to Dubois' departure).

I think, with a good PG, coach Doh can start running his quick-pace game. It's very important for Carolina to run and coach Doh knows this system well. It must start with speedy & good decision-making PG. Now, he has his wish so everyone else needs to catch up.
