Vandy also has a football walk-on for next season from the same high school, QB Brennan Storer.

Emmanuel Ansong …

… might have been a walk-on at some point, according to what I heard on one of the NIT broadcasts. If the story was accurate, why didn’t we hear that from our folks?

Said Ansong was accepted into grad school at Vanderbilt and then found coach Stackhouse.

“I can play a little basketball if you need help.”

The guy scored in double digits 2 years at Green Bay. I don’t know that whatever grad school offered could top a basketball scholarship, but I guess some students get free school plus a stipend for research or TA duties.

I like Emmanuel and what he brought to the team this year. A poor man's James Siakam.

No disrespect to the player, and maybe he pans out, but this will not get us over the top.
