So will Bilbo be the walk on?
 
Did we ever get an announcement on that? I know he entered the portal (which I didn't think was even necessary for walk-ons) but I never saw anything about him coming to VCU.
He is. Pretty sure he’s already here.
 
So will Bilbo be the walk on?
That will be Ahmad ibn Fadlan ibn al-Abbas ibn Rasid ibn Hammad.

Man, that movie should've been great. Micheal Crichton source material, big star in Banderas. They even had Omar Sharif for no reason at all! But instead it was so terrible Sharif decided to retire.
 
The starting lineup conversation is just crazy.
I gotta believe Shulga and Bairstow have the edge being, A. They are great ballers, and B. They know the system.

Beyond that is a battle royale and nothing will surprise me.

Looking forward to finding out about the last scholly.

You forgot Odum as a walk on although not sure it official or reported in the media, but that is the word on the street
 
I keep forgetting that we could have Shulga for 2 seasons. Theoretically (but unlikely in the day of the portal), we could be bringing the bulk of this team back the following season with 2-3 spots available for transfers in.
 
OK, since none of us have seen all these guys play, here is my totally uninformed line-up (starter, sub, alt sub). For safety, it assumes Bamisle has to sit out a year (hopefully not).
Point - Zeb; Nelson
2 - Shulga; Patrick
3 - Bairstow; Billups
4 - Kuany Kuany; Belle
5 - Wheeler; Tobi; Fermin
I could be way off (and I'd be cool with that). It is going to be one heck of an off-season as all the new players compete for their roles.
