In anticipation of the 2014-2015 Texas Longhorns Men’s Basketball season, HornSports’ Chris Flanagan will preview all the players on the 2014-15 roster. Here is our men’s basketball walk-on preview:
Walk-ons:
Outlook:
Walk-ons rarely get playing time, especially during close games. The time a walk-on normally shines is at the end of the game when the contest is already decided but the final buzzer hasn’t sounded yet.
Everyone appreciates the hard work of walk-ons, and many fans cheer loudly when they enter at the end of games. Walk-ons show up to practices, workouts, study sessions – essentially they do everything that a regular scholarship player does, but without the full ride scholarship. That’s dedication to the game that you love.
On March 7th, 2015, when Texas plays it’s final home game of the season against Kansas State, give a rousing ovation to Tarale Murry who is a senior and should be in the starting lineup for the Longhorns on that day.
