That would be me. I'll back it up by saying I saw him in high school make plays when he had absolutely nobody making holes in front of him. He made things happen, he moved really well, and he was electric to watch. Do I think he deserved offers? Yes, I do. But I have seen first-hand that if your school and hs coach doesn't understand how recruiting works, and the timing of recruitment, it can be a huge problem for the player to overcome. Hildreth didn't. They released his highlight tape AFTER signing day, for Pete's sake.
I've seen him in high school, against decent competition and against weak competition, and I was thrilled when he chose to walk on at CU. But I don't think he (or anyone) should be dismissed because they are walkons. There are sometimes extenuating circumstances. And there are under-the-radar kids who play REALLY hard because they have something to prove. Because absolutely nothing has been handed to them up to this point, and they are willing to work harder than anyone thought possible to achieve success. Hmmmmm.
And, now, we return you to the previously scheduled program: the Darrell Scott situation.
