Stephen Hill, a WR coming to the Flats this fall, has been given permission by the man, CPJ, to play for CPH on the court once he's done with football for the season. I had heard the rumor, but I didn't want to post anything until I had seen it from a source more credible than a message board (which doesn't really narrow it down, but I'll take it.)
Now, this doesn't mean he will play basketball. It means CPJ has given him permission. With the recruiting class coming in (the ones that were actually recruited to play basketball), there's probably no way he'd ever see the floor.
It sounds like he's great at football and track, and pretty good at basketball just by virtue of being a freakish athlete. People have compared that aspect of him to Isma'il Muhammad from the Final Four team. In case you've forgotten:
I seriously doubt he'd have much of an impact, but it would be fun to have a two-sport athlete around. Stephen is actually the high school teammate of highly-touted basketball commit, Mfon Udofia.

Can he be a walk-on? I thought if you were given a scholarship in one sport, per NCAA rules, you must count as a scholarship for any other sport you play.
This rule was put in place to stop schools from giving scholarships to lesser sports and have them "walk-on" to the football team.
Oh, you're probably right. I just assumed, but that makes sense.
