For most college basketball walk-ons, practice is the extent of court time that they will see. If a walk-on is lucky, he might earn a few consolation minutes throughout the course of the season.
The role can be thankless with little playing time to show for the work in practice, but a walk-on’s impact to the team is one that can take many different shapes. This year, that is the case for Seton Hall with two freshmen walk-on guards in Philip Flory and Shavar Reynolds. Flory, a native of Oshkosh, Wisc. where he played high school basketball for Oshkosh North, had committed to fellow Big East power Marquette prior to even beginning his high school career.
