New walk Ons?

[Sam]

Saw this on the basketball blog,

The roster stands at 15 players, but that number could grow soon with a walk-on or two.

Anybody heard any rumors about this, think they're going to be local Oklahoma kids or out of staters?

Hey Sam, I think Alyssa knows of someone who was, at last time I talked to her, interested in walking on here at OU. She gave the kid a tour, said he was recruited by Stanford at one point in his career too, if I remember correctly...

Justin McCay?

Not a chance in hell. Wouldn't help either.

Pretty sure the kid is named Vincent Mason from Mount St. Mary in OKC.

I'm not Vincent, but I have watched him in play for the last couple of years, as I have a son that plays at MSM. Vincent is 6'5" and very athletic (he either won or was in the finals of the 400m in 3A). He is really a good kid, although I am a bit surprised that he was selected to walk on. He was a 4.0 kid in highschool and was all-everything at the school.

MSM has been to the state tournament the last couple of years. Vincent was the tallest guy on the team last year and played inside (as much as one plays inside with their style of play.) He is not a big scorer and needs to put on weight and strength. His biggest weakness is ball-handling, but with his athleticism and length, he should be valuable to the team in practice. He will absolutely not be a problem off the court either.

I am an OSU fan that frequents this board, as I generally like the discussions over here. My son told me last week that Vincent "signed" to walk on at OU. For once, I thought I could add something to the discussion.

Don't know anything about Mr. Mason as far as basketball goes, but I watch track times in the paper and I know he runs about a 50 second 400 meters. If he is 6'5 and runs a 50 sec 40 then he is one hell of an athlete.
