UK Basketball releases three Walk-ons
#53
Walk-on's from last year with what class they would've been in this year:
Dwight Perry SR. Durham, NC (Bobby Perry's cousin)
Matt Scherbenske SR. Lexington, KY (Hometown kid that went to Oak Hill)
Mark Krebs SR. Newport, KY (Northern KY)
Landon Slone SO. Paintsville, KY (Eastern KY)
Adam Delph SO. Louisville, KY (Another KY kid)

See a pattern? They all have close ties to either the state or the team (Perry). This goes into the heart and soul of the true blue fan. To have a kid on the team who the fans can say proudly, I know him. I went to high school with him. I played against him, etc. They represent the state, the school, and the fans. The hard working kids, who wouldn't have changed their jersey if you paid them the salary of an NBA player. It touches the hearts of the UK fans. Let's be honest now, how many blue chip basketball players are in the state of KY? Not many, I doubt we even have players that Coach Cal will even fart at. I'm not saying I don't like the man, because I'm very happy and proud to have him as our coach but there's not going to be so and so cousin on the team or the hometown kid on our team without walk-on's.
