Sorry Stan, Sieko is a real D-1 talent and plays against high level competition at a very high profile HS and AAU Team. Fisher is a walk-on. But, if he can shoot and play defense I am supportive. Sounds kind of like Kevin Zabo... You mean the Kevin Zabo that went for 12, 2 and 5 off the bench against 3 seed UCLA in the NCAA tournament this year? |

It's not like he was recruited to come here, nor will he likely get playing time. "Preferred" walk on status isn't really anything more than a ceremonial title and would likely be bestowed upon 90% of kids who transfer to State, have D1 basketball experience, and want to be a part of the program while understanding they likely are not at our talent level. Sometimes everyone is surprised/there is work ethic and late talent development that brings opportunity for those that deserve it. |

I think any team would be thrilled to get that kind of spark from coming off the bench. Alas, the coaching staff felt his "spark" was not needed at SDSU. |

And that's cool - the point of my post (it's even bolded), was that he was a high-rated guard playing against good competition. I left defense behind; I guess we'll see if Seiko's the real deal when he gets here. |

I must have missed that way back when can you show me an article or something? Our staff doesn't usually do that. |

Had Zabo remained an Aztec, I'm sure you'd post plenty of negative things about him. |

Shoots and plays D.
That screams Chase Tapley or Brandon Heath. We would be so damn luck to get another Tapley or Heath.

Sometimes everyone is surprised/there is work ethic and late talent development that brings opportunity for those that deserve it. Yes & no, although the difference in football is greater than in hoops. "Preferred's" typically are recruited vs. a more generic "walk on" is not. Preferred's, especially in football, are more often than not guaranteed a spot on the 105 man roster upfront and can participate in strength & conditioning activities prior to the start of school, rather than having to earn time only after school starts. Plus, some are told they won't get a scholarship now but they could be given one at the start of the school year if openings remain, or at mid-season (again, more football). We don't know what side deal he has, but definitely being labeled a "preferred" has its benefits & many WO's are not given that status. |
