I just checked the Men's B-ball roster and what do you know. I found 2 new names. Apparently, these signings went unannounced?? I wonder if these are walk ons? Montague appears to be a transfer from Centenary. Interesting, we scheduled Centenary for a game this season too. Here is their info from meangreensports.com:

Horne, Jr., Ronald (G, 6-1, 185, Fr., Waco, TX, Waco HS)

Waco High School: Was a First-Team All-District selection as a senior at Waco High School ... Averaged 24.3 points, 3.7 assists and 3.2 steals per game as a senior ... Named to the Central Texas All Star Game roster ... Also earned all-district and Super Centex honors in 2004-05 ... Averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game as for the Lions in 2004-05 ... A multi-sports star, Ronald lettered for three years in both basketball and football ... Member of the National Honors Society ... A talented family, Horne is the cousin of San Diego Chargers superstar LaDanian Tomlinson and Oklahoma State football player Damien Davis ... Son of Loretta and Ronald Harris ... Born Sept. 16, 1988.

Montague, Jr., Jeff (F, 6-6, 215, So., Colleyville, TX, Centenary)

Centenary College: A tireless worker on the defensive end, Montague led the team in charges taken ... Started 10 games for the Gentlemen, including top opponents Texas, Georgia Tech and Baylor ... Averaged two points and two rebounds per game ... Was named to the Mid-Continent Conference All-Academic Team.

I think they're walk-ons, Chris.

But, if they are walk-ons....they're pretty high quality walk-ons.

Did I miss something or where these two not announced?

Wow! Are we already getting to a point where we can attract walkons like Horne? What a set of credentials; and LT's cousin to boot.

We don't actually know that they are walk-ons. We were only guessing. My best guess is that one from Centenary was a transfer. I bet Horne did not walk on if he is that good.

In your scenario....they'd both be on scholarship. And that's impossible, since we have 13 guys on scholarship. (that's the limit).

So, in all probability....they're both walk-ons.

R.J. is just as athletic and quick as any of the scholarship players. He usually finishes first in the sprints and he never gets tired. He seems to have good ball-handling and shooting skills. I can't understand how a national honor society student with his ability did not get a scholarship somewhere. He was not in uniform or on the bench for the game with the Panhandlers.

Jeff Montague has not been on the team as long as R.J.,but ten starts for a D-1 school should mean he will be a good walk-on.

I didn't realize that. Thanks for pointing that out....

      Good post! I agree with everything you said.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      True. It doesn’t matter to anyone outside that school. But did you see NIU storm the field to celebrate the 4th down crushing sack of the Fresno quarterback to end the game? Followed by the lifting of the potato mascot into the air? Loved it for those dudes. Hard work paid off with a dramatic win. After learning our bowl destination my Dallas SEC diehards said they wanted to go to the game. So we’ll have the pre fun and post fun time on the 3rd. They attended the Boise Bowl and Cal game too. They are college football 🏈 LSU season ticket holder junkies who look forward to a fun day. I’m in the minority in this thread but I’m glad we play bowl games. I don’t need to see NIU or Fresno again this season but I’m glad it happened. Beat Texas State! GMG

      This is what the NCAA was trying to stop. But the hypocrisy and greed of everyone else in the sport getting paid a “market rate” while walk-ons got nothing and scholarship athletes were eating ramen noodles in the offseason broke that model. The ONLY rational way forward to get sanity and fairness back with a large healthy FBS would about 80-100 teams coming together and becoming an actual league. No less than 50% of all revenue (not including home ticket sales and merchandise sold on campus) would be shared equally. Lots of other things would have to be done but most of them include cushy fat cat positions going away, and others taking 50% pay cuts. The athletic departments would have to surrender a lot of power to the new league/NCAA along with the revenue sharing. We all know that isn’t happening. And we are on a slow road to College Football regular season ratings going down and playoff ratings going up while it is new. Then after the newness wears off we will have FBS looking more like College Basketball. Dramatically less interest in regular season football with few being familiar with great players outside of Heisman contenders (and/or projected 1st round Quarterbacks).

      Maybe I need to read the article again... Is that saying with revenue sharing coming online there will be a limit to what NIL Collectives can pay? That article seems to suggest that the big money will level out. How is that?

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      That’s the point for sure. Winning a spare bowl against another G5 means nothing to anyone beyond the diehards of the winning program.
