Beat me on this one looking to see if he had been mentioned.

Sorry not sorry to those who love him but I'm going with Tim Priller still doesn't make sense even though among some is a fan favorite.

Yeah, I don’t know why, but it just didn’t look like him to me. Age continuing to do it’s thing, I guess.

Don't believe so.  From what I read he was a scholarship player.  Only played one year.

We were both half-right. He was a manager that busted his tail and Knight liked him. He eventually got to suit up and served as a human victory cigar.  Maybe Knight ended up giving him an unused scholly…I don’t remember but it wouldn’t have been unheard of for RMK to do something like that.

Didn't he end up at Ball State along with Mike LaFave?

I don't think I saw anyone else name Emmitt Holt.

From what I remember RMK didn't usually have walk ons at IU

I think you’re right…which is, in part, why that kid stood out. He even made a sportscenter highlight, iirc.

Cool!  Here he is today -- orthopedist in Shelbyville.  Mentions that he was a scholarship player at Indiana.

That’s a nice one. The rest of the Cody Zeller class.

Wasn't Remy Abel in that class?
