Hornacek was a walk-on with a promise of a scholly in year 2. A notch above your typical walk on. Petey was a pure walk-on thrown into the fray.

Didn't Petey end up getting a scholarship though last year due to all the people that left when Mac got here? I was thinking that Petey did get a scholarship.

I have a man crush on Petey... And he is probably one of the best. Not the best though. I think we all know who it is.

If we didn't have all the player leaving when GMac arrived, there is a chance no one would of know of Petey.

I think Marc Urquart was a walk-on as well. He didn't play much until his senior year. But I believe he is the first Cyclone with a triple-double. Now he's a medical doctor.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the deal.

Very true! I hadn't thought of that. I guess there is at least one upside to the turnover.

We wanted to give Hornacek a scholarship from day one, but we didn't have any available so he came in as a walk-on.

He walked on and got a scholy almost right away. Technically he was on scholarship the last two years, but he technically wasn't recruited. Just asked to walk on.

I know Hornacek was good, but I haven't heard anything about Gary Thompson. He saw an ad in the Daily for tryouts and turned into a 1st Team All-American.

He was also an All-American pick in baseball.
