I doubt it. I'd imagine that he is holding on some resentment for not being offered the first time and would probably think a PWO would be an insult at this point.
Besides, unless his family has enough money, walking on makes no financial sense, especially when he can get a scholarship at
smaller school and almost assuredly start or play big minutes immediately.
There are MVC and other teams who would take his height. He may surprise a bit after a proper year of S&C and development (which seems to be what Mac said he needed in the first place).
I'd absolutely take him as a walk-on, but we need the last scholie for Enaruna right now and the scholarship route for us has sailed.
To be clear I'd take him as a walk-on without second thought, too. It makes a lot of sense for us. Having a walk-on big specifically for the scout team while he sits out would be of tremendous aid in practice since we wouldn't need to rotate any of the rotation guys there. Plus there's potential there. Certainly more than Geoff and Will and we saw what Mac did with them.
Again, I don't think it makes sense for him, though. He can go sit out a year and start the next if he drops a level where he might not see the floor much after his redshirt year here, depending upon how the roster shakes out.
