roy told the story on one of the post game radio shows that he was recruiting luke as a 3 year scholarship player because he didn't believe we would have an opening. some kid turned us down .I thought Luke was a walk-on his first year? Or was he supposed to be a walk-on but ended up getting a full ride afterwards?
Yeah I heard that on Mike & Mike this morning too. Not sure why I didn't know this...roy told the story on one of the post game radio shows that he was recruiting luke as a 3 year scholarship player because he didn't believe we would have an opening. some kid turned us down .
roy called luke and said "go tell your dad to give you 1k for a beach trip." luke said "i don't think my dad will do that." roy said "why not you've just earned a 25k scholarship."
AgreedNo poasts ITT since yesterday at 6:28 PM. No excuse for that.
This is my favorite post ITT.
I wanna know what Luke is having for lunch today - so I can have it too...
So... just think, Luke was MOP of the regional. If he does that again this weekend, his #32 will be RETIRED in the rafters.

He had GRILLED Bright Leaf hot dogs!I wanna know what Luke is having for lunch today - so I can have it too...
He had GRILLED Bright Leaf hot dogs!
GFYI heard they were microwaved.
He also made the long baseball pass to JJ for the layup in the final minute AND made two big FTs down the stretch. He carried the team on his back.i forgot one of the big plays in the game was him diving on the floor to get the jump ball. kid played his butt off.
Yes please. YES PLEASE. Get Rashad's jersey the hell out of the rafters.It's getting kind of full in the rafters. There is another 32 that is up there that we could replace with Luke's 32 if need be.

No. Regardless of anything he's said and done since then and going completely off his rocker, McCants was a key piece of an incredible team that brought home a national championship and he earned his spot in the rafters. Quit trying to rewrite history. Next you'll be wanting to take down Silent Sam.Yes please. YES PLEASE. Get Rashad's jersey the hell out of the rafters.
I can respect that. He does piss me off though.No. Regardless of anything he's said and done since then and going completely off his rocker, he was a key piece of an incredible team that brought home a national championship and he earned his spot in the rafters.

I know. I don't really want it taken down. Just said it in jest.No. Regardless of anything he's said and done since then and going completely off his rocker, McCants was a key piece of an incredible team that brought home a national championship and he earned his spot in the rafters.

I second the motion.
I think Luke has a real good head on his shoulders and will take this all in stride.Hopefully Luke's isn't getting too high in the clouds over the attention he's getting. We still need him to show up and be focused on Saturday. That's a real concern for me. Every time I see another Luke Maye article from a national publication I cringe.
Very cerebral player. Maye is a high-motor guy and a gym rat.I think Luke has a real good head on his shoulders and will take this all in stride.

Speaking of Theo. I think you see him saddled with more of the ball handling duties to help preserve Joel Saturday.Great, game by Luke, really believe our season was done had he not dropped but kudos to Theo as well, he took the in bounds pass and did not hesitate to push it up and set up Luke for the clean look.
