Walk-ons know each other and there is, even when wearing enemy colors, a bond. Most of them are on the roster to practice hard and finish blowouts.
When one of them rises above that role, people notice.
"I get 'You're playing well,' and 'Dang, you're cold' from some walk-ons at the other schools," Wichita State Melvion Flanagan said.
Flanagan, a 5-foot-10 sophomore, is impossible to miss in recent Wichita State basketball games.
The Shockers (8-8, 1-3 American Athletic Conference) play Tulsa (4-11, 0-4) at 3 p.m. Saturday (ESPN+) at Koch Arena.
