You would be surprised on how many good athletes there are on campus who choose not to play in college.
Yeah, one does have to get on with life which is what college should be about, college sports gets pretty serious these days so choices have to be made and the women don't really have the same end game guys do when playing sports.
Former D1 athlete here. Many look the part, but once they get a shot to walk on simply can’t hang. There is a HUGE gap, at least on the men’s side, between those who ball out in intramurals but arent even close to the varsity squad. I cant count the number of guys who i heard say “i could run track” or “i could make the basketball team” but every time they got a shot they werent even close to being good enough. Reality is most of us with the shot to play college ball do. 99.9% of the students interested in sports but dont play in college simply arent good enough. Just speaking from my experience at at top 20 all-around D1 athletic department school.
I was a d2 player who transferred to a d1 school. We had a bad injury situation and they invited walkons. I came out but was too out of shape, though I played scout team for a month or two. In shape, I probably could have been chief benchwarmer. Still it was crazy how much stronger and bigger the guys were who had my athleticism. The guys my size were way more athletic.
Why would they? If they are not black, the odds of playing are slim and none! In women’s basketball, it’s not that way yet . I prefer women’s basketball because it’s entertaining without all the drama. Just let ‘em play as long as they are women! Color should have nothing to do with it!
Wow, you really don't watch much men's college basketball.
I'm rooting for this team to do well!
It's nice to see the girls who weren't going to play ball in college now be able to play ball once again.
A Sweet 16 spot in the March Madness tourney would be great for this team!
That's is what happens when you have a good community of support around your team. They show up and help. UCONN fan sending love to TCU!!!
It's official, TCU has joined my list of favorite schools. Go, Lady Horned Frogs!
Good for them, they should be everyone's new favorite team to support.
Dam they got some talented walk ons holy crap! Go Lady Horned Frogs! From a Villanova fan.
What a cool story! Good luck to those walk ons and to TCU.
Outstanding!!! One purpose. Self sacrifice. Teamwork.
😂😂😂😂 women sport😂😂😂
Im from Ames where iowa State is and long time ISU fan. but i feel bad for this team and hope the hurt girls get better and hope the best for the new girls. I was a 6 on 6 girls basketball fan growing up in iowa and been a college girls basketball fan last 25 years. Though they cant dunk they are so competitive and fun to watch. I hope more people start watching college girls BB. screw the wnba btw. college is where its at!
That gym should have been packed come on TCU if I didn’t have to work I would’ve been at the game good job ladies
It’s women’s basketball.
@@deltonjoa7840And it's super hot right now. 😂
Good job, ladies. Keep it up never give up. You have to fight.
They should go to the final four....would make a nice little news feature
Those walk-on's are great kids. -from a UCONN fan.
Wow, what a concept, student athlete. I wish this team all the best.
yeaaaah, there's that. hard not to root for them, the real thing, education first but...the opportunity came along. Wish them the best also.
I hear where you're coming from but a large majority of college sports are comprised of nothing but student athletes. It's obviously only the few that actually make money where you seem to be jaded. Let's be honest though, doesn't make a whole lot of sense that the schools get to profit so much off of their teams and not have to share some of the pie. At the end of the day, if a school's sport is turning a profit, the players deserve some of it.
I will give you that anything with a player's name or face, the kids should get their share. But for playing the sport, they get a free education. Once you are paid to play, you are not an amateur anymore.
Imagine being a coach holding open tryouts and the girls who show up probably all could have received D1 scholarships haha
I will cheer for this Team. Go TCU
When i was at Rice in the mid 90s the men’s team had about 5 injuries and had to take a couple walkons. I was working out with them but was too out of shape to just jump in. Oh, and school 😂
I saw them play one weekend way earlier in Jan. I guess, before Sedona Prince got injured, and she impressed TF out of me, irony was I went there to check out Madison Conner. Now I feel like I should go support them yet again with their walkon situation
All the walk ins who were added during the year were all stars in their high school but thought that their career was over.
Really cool story! Proud of that program
Those latex gloves the reporter is wearing but be restricting her hand movement. 😂
Too bad about the injuries - I hate it when college athletes get hurt. But, congrats to the new walk-ons! Best of luck!
🙏🏾💯👏🏾💯👏🏾💯👏🏾💯💪🏾💯💪🏾💯💪🏾✊🏾💯🙏🏾
Great story and Miami University 2023 NCAA TOURNEY Elite Eight starting point guard Haley Cavinder is on the team next year. Now if twin sister Hanna Cavinder opts to also play TCU is going to make some more winning news.
Give each of them an athletic scholarship or wipe out their cost of attendance as service to the school
The women's volleyball coach must be sweating bullets everytime Silvaster gets on the court.
I’ll be rooting for TCU now
South Dakota State women's team had to do the same thing as they lost so many players to injuries.
Great story. It highlights how high level college sports is if all these high school stars weren't on scholarship.
So what happened to the players they started the season with?
Feel good story... at least for the program.. it's not off-field or admin issues creating the problems which we see WAY to often. I hope they do well and give a few walk-on's a chance they didn't know they'd even get.
Still haven’t heard exactly what the policy is on number of players needed on the roster? You only need 5 to play and I think they got down to 9 and forfeited. If so, the losses were self inflicted due to bad policy - the schools website just stated BS “health & safety” nonsense
That amount of injuries is unheard of ever. Replace the whole training staff something they're doing is incorrect.
Avery Johnson wouldn’t have forfeited those games.
Good for TCU.
Peyton is gorgeous.
Get the last 3 men on the mens team to identify as women - join the team and win a national championship!
? What???
Why didn't they have enough players?
Why are you shocked women sports doesn't give money to women sports
Give us the movie NOW
why is this in my feed?
Look at GOD!
🤣talk about trash
Nail bitter
What an uplifting, awesome story of young girls, young Americans doing what Americans do: step up and give it their all when needed and do it the right way!! Totally pulling for this team of self-starters and doers as they continue this journey.
(And then, the positive story is followed by Biden, representing the other part of the country, the lazy, the illegal, the bizarre, begging for money. What a contrast.)
Y'all need trans lmao
Will TCU allow Transgender women to try out? 😂
You look a little old, but I think they’re all set now.
good luck with that, hope you can hoop.
Why would that even be a comment to come to your mind unless you yourself are obsessed with transgenders
@@manegrindshardfacts!!! Because they are
Womens basketball is incredibly boring
No it's not... in fact last year... the women's basketball beat men's bball viewers for championships
Soooo know your facts son
Colleges have women's basketball??? What an adorable thing, is this new?
