Power forward invited to walk on at UK

Not satisfied with his scholarship offers, a high school prospect took a year off from the basketball system. He worked to improve his body and his game. He and his father searched the Internet for a higher-level college program that needed help from a power forward.

That's how unheralded prospect Mark Coury came to be a walk-on for Kentucky this coming season.

Thanks for the article, he doesn't sound too bad. 6'9 and 245 is a pretty heathy boy.

He could do worse. It may work into a scholarship for him, if he's good enough. It has happened before.
