Verbal Commits has another walk on a 6’2” PG senior from Brazil. Paulo Morastoni. Does anyone have any info on him? He was a manager who suited up near the end of last season

Former north Alabama player Jimmy Ratliff has transferred to Siena and will be a walk on Looks like he redshirted at UNA. Not sure if he has to sit out a year... but his highlights look good. Very good shooter with excellent size at 6-8. Love that this staff is recruiting legit walk ons who could wind up contributing down the road like Ratliff and Mahala. We all loved Cruz, Fenlon, and Merrill, but they were never going to be legit D1 players. Ratliff had D1 offers at 1 point and wound up at UNA, which moves up to D1 this year. Must not have fit with their new coach. All in on taking a guy like this who should be a positive piece in practice as a scout team player if nothing else.

As long as he is a good kid there is only upside to this

No way he comes here without a "scholarship down the road" deal.

Definitely good moves in the walk-on department and the 2 new kids have some basketball skills compared to past walk-on’s. Looks like the new coach at NA cleared the decks. If the kid proves himself maybe he earns a ride down the road .... but unlike Rex and co I don’t think anything is a given and I don’t think deals are preordained!

Is this kid coming in lieu of the Romanian kid? Haven’t heard anything about him in a while.

Hope you are right but until foreign players actually land at the airport I’m never sure. Earlier in the month I think he was still playing with his Romanian team.
