Walk-ons
I asked this in another thread, but does anyone know why Jabali Leonard, the would-be walk-on from Meadowdale, apparently didn’t make the roster? Earlier photos — https://www.google.com/search?q=jaba...EBLzAd6cBWN4M: — had shown him practicing with the team. The roster lists only Greer and Westerfield, and this story — https://daytonflyers.com/news/2018/1...r-2018-19.aspx — makes it seem as if they’re the only ones to make the squad.

The link doesn't say who the second walk on is.

Greer and Westerfield are the two walk-ones. If Leonard is added -- not on the roster right now -- he would be the third.

It is possible that with more players and red shirts there will be fewer walk-ons.

I would love to know what happened as well. Remember I am the dummy who reported that a friend who had followed him in HS and seen him in person at UD open gyms said he would get PT this year with the team. No, I have not seen the friend for awhile and not sure when I might again.

Is it possibly about having to hold an open tryout before naming a walk on who hasn't previously made a team?

A video from yesterday's practice. Not positive but I think Jabali is in it.

The roster will be updated before the games begin, but it isn't updated often during the offseason.

Maybe Jabali is a Preferred Walk-on, so he did not attend tryouts.
