Iowa adds 2024 Combo Guard Trey Buchanan (6'1, 175) as a Preferred Walk on
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I know the PWO football players can participate in NIL money by working at the charities.
From today's media availability:
IIRC, Lute recruited Todd as a scholarship player.
CJ redshirted as freshman because of a foot injury. He definitely had a scholly by the time the next season rolled around, but I'd wager it was before he got to campus.
Darryl Moore was a walk-on for Tom Davis in the mid-90s. He was really good. Kyle Galloway in the late 90s I think was a walk-on?
CJ committed to Iowa on Aug 5, 2017 without a scholarship.
In late October, 2017, Fran offered CJ a scholarship after the departure of Christian Williams.
CJ then graduated from high school in 2018. This is his 7th year in college.
CJ sat out the 2018-2019 season as a redshirt but mostly so he could work on his game and get bigger/stronger. But he wasn’t immune from injuries then, breaking a rib when he drew a charge from forward Tyler Cook in practice.
Why did he redshirt? From the linked hawkeyesports.com story below: When Fredrick arrived in Iowa City, he wasn’t ready physically. When he got to campus, he weighed 170 pounds. Heading into the 2019-20 season, Fredrick has added 25 pounds to his 6-foot-3 frame. “My body wasn’t ready last year,” he said. “I gained weight and got more athletic.”

Redshirt Year Prepares Fredrick
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- CJ Fredrick is primed for a bigger role with the University of Iowa men's basketball team and his redshirt freshman season as a Hawkeye prepared him for such.

Fredrick Ready To Return To Lineup
There was never any pressure to hurry his return, CJ Fredrick said, and the Iowa redshirt freshman guard appreciates that. Fredrick, who has missed the last

Lute Olson and Johnny Orr both recruited Berkenpas. I was in Mapleton the night Todd broke Iowa HS scoring record. Lute and Johnny were both in attendance.
Wasn't Nicholas Baer from Bettendorf a walk-on his first 2 years at Iowa before earning a scholarship from Fran and I could be wrong but didn't walk-on's Darius Stokes and Austin Ash receive scholarships from Fran before their senior year?
With what? Running scout team? Passing out water bottles?
Frans had pretty good luck with walk ons. Baer and Frederick. I expect he will uncover another gem before long.
I think C.J. was willing to walk on at Iowa, but didn't a scholarship open up ( Christian Williams ) before he enrolled and was on scholarship from day one. Then during fall practice, he tried to take a charge while Cook went to the basket for a dunk and sustained a broken rib that caused him to take a red shirt in his freshman year. That's how I remember it going down.
If he is your PG Iowa finishes at 17 in BIG. He is poor man's Gabe Cupps from IU.
He's not my pg or even Iowa's at this point. He's a freshman walkon who can probably play some pg in practice and he may turn into something by his senior year. He'd smoke Gabe Cupps one on one tho, just sayin
I posted what follows on Thursday; you must have missed it.
And, no, the broken rib was not what made him take the redshirt year; redshirting was the plan from the beginning.CJ committed to Iowa on Aug 5, 2017 without a scholarship.

CJ then graduated from high school in 2018. This upcoming season will be his 7th year in college.

Todd Berkenpas was certainly never a walk on. At the time I believe he was the state of Iowa's all time leading score and was offered by multiple schools including Duke. There was even an article in Sports Illustrated about his recruitement (Really about Duke getting it rolling as a power) and he said if Duke was in Iowa he would have gone to Duke.
