Maybe we already have our guard...

Apparently Kevonte Martin-Manley plays some basketball. I don't know if this has been discussed before, but it seems to me like maybe he could play 2 sports for us, if the coaches will let him.

Lots of football guys play 2 sports and also excelled in basketball. I think it serves Kevonte to focus his freshmen year on accademics and learning football.

McNutt and Moeaki could both have made the basketball team last year.

Unfortunately that will never happen...C.J. would probably have all of our bigs NOT named "Jarryd Cole" on the injured list by the time the season started, just from practicing against him...

If we wanted to risk any football players on the court, Sash would look nice filling a wing on the break as well. He was considered a better basketball prospeck than football until late in high school.

I think Kevonte playing basketball for us, this year at least could make a lot of sense.

We have lots of wide receivers this year. It is more than likely that he would be redshirting this fall.


The basketball team however, needs guards. If he redshirts, and wants to play basketball, I say let him.

C.J could help the team, if nothing else but for practice. He can definately play.

McNutt, Moeaki and about 11 other football players could have made the basketball team last year.

so if someone does play two sports, does that person fill a scholarship spot on two teams?

Sash is not a division one basketball player. He has gotten to big.

No, they are considered as a walk on.
