Someone tweeted to me something, I thought he was wrong and checked. He was right. Devon Peterson joined the basketball team today as a walk-on. Wow. They just got more athletic.

reed - the dominant presence inside every elite walkon squad needs.
ojeleye - mini-colon, no talent but brutally punishes the other team!
lawrence - the perfect point foward/slasher guy that can't shoot.  when he's not fat, he's unstoppable
peterson - 95, bitches.
kruger - nephew of a great player, so you know he's good.  also is funny.

#5 - sixth man with great endurance.  likes basketball, but loves to run.

Yeah.  This happens all the time.  I just requires silly things like changing your permenant address and getting an in-state DL. 
Title: Re: It's Peterson!!!!
Post by: jtksu on October 24, 2010, 02:33:16 PM
Well, the regulations specify that you must be a resident for one year while not attending school to gain in-state status.  An old GF of mine had to research the hell out of this as she was an out of state and attempted to change her status before attending law school.  Her dad (a judge) was unable to find a legal way for this to happen.  I mean, I can snoke rock on the street corner if I wanted to, it just requires a few silly steps...

I'll bet we could get IchabodCat to arrange a "Welcome Home Krugs" party at Bullfrogs.  I know some people in Topeka who are very, very connected in the WU athletic department, so we cold probably get IchaStan to show up.

Looking at ours and ku's roster, I assumed the total limit was 16.  If there's no limit, is there no correlation between Kruger and 95?  It wouldn't be that Frank doesn't want non-travelers in the program becasue we'll still be one over.  :dunno:

i wouldn't think there's any connection.  maybe kruger was told he wouldn't be likely to travel and got offended and quit.  but i doubt it.


we've had a walkon quit each of the last couple years, no?  the one guy from atchison or somewhere up there, and the topekan.  it's a lot of work for not a lot of reward.

We're an Elite Eight team and a preseason top-3, and our coach is a media darling. We should have a top-25 recruiting class, if not this year then next year, but we don't. Our recruiting is sub-par. The training facility and its ability to attract recruits should help keep us from sucking in 2 years, but we need to do better right now.

The ol' 95er came after he had played a year of juco bro.  Plus, dudes that aren't going to qualify generally don't get ranked as highly as they would if they were going to qualify.

pretty sure he was higher than a 2 star outta high school. He was a two star outta juco, because of eligibility issues im guessing.

Meek checks in: (http://cjonline.com/sports/basketball/2010-10-27/peterson_arrives_at_last_for_cats)

Quote
Devon Peterson spent the past two years compiling community college credits, crashing on couches and playing pickup basketball.

He had become something of a mythic figure, a talented player who couldn't quite solve the eligibility puzzle. So there was some natural surprise when, two years after his last season of organized basketball, Peterson showed up at Kansas State.

"I walked into study table and saw him doing his work," forward Jamar Samuels said. "I was like, 'Yo, what are you doing? Are you supposed to be here right now?'

"He was like, 'Yeah, they just admitted me.' That was pretty cool."

K-State announced Wednesday that Peterson has joined the team as a walk-on. Peterson, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard from Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., will be eligible to compete this season as a junior.

"He's a hard-nosed kid," coach Frank Martin said. "The same path he's taken to get here echoes the kind of player he is. He's a grinder."

Peterson was a decorated high school player at Lincoln, the same school that produced Sebastian Telfair and Lance Stephenson. He began his college career at Broward College in Florida, where he averaged 16 points and earned all-conference honors as a freshman.

Peterson committed to K-State as a scholarship player two years ago, but eligibility problems delayed his enrollment.

"To his credit, he's continued to pursue it," Martin said. "He's remained loyal to us. He could have gone on scholarship and played somewhere else, but he remained committed and loyal to us."

Peterson is a scoring guard who should be in the mix to earn minutes in the backcourt opposite Jacob Pullen.

"Tough New York guard," Samuels summarized. "Tough New York guard that will help us out a lot."

In conjunction with Peterson's arrival, K-State announced that Topekan Jarrod Kruger is no longer with the program. Kruger, the nephew of former Wildcat and current UNLV coach Lon Kruger, walked on at K-State after earning second-team all-city honors as a senior at Topeka West.

His years of eligibility remain in question, but the NCAA has cleared him to play right away and he began practicing with the team last Friday.

2008-09: JUCO
2009-10: Sat out to qualify
2010-11: K-State
2011-12: K-State
2012-13: K-State
