ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- It was shaping as a normal morning meeting before workouts and lifting. It turned into anything but. Three walk-ons, including two Albuquerque natives who have been walk-ons for the past three seasons, were put on scholarship by head coach Bob Davie.
The players, Rafael Hidalgo, Javohn Jones and Thomas Vieira, had no idea what was to come.
The meeting was really moving along like most do. Coach Davie spoke with the players, Some other coaches spoke. They talked of class schedules and got ready to watch a little film.
