Update on Okrzesik from Daily
The Daily Northwestern reports that Jason Okrzesik will transfer to Northwestern as a walk-on pending his admission to the school, which should be a formality.
A walk-on? What a coup for coach Bill Carmody.
Okrzesik has the opportunity to learn the Princeton system as he sits out a year and then compete for a scholarship the next year. Here's thinking that Carmody and staff will find a scholarship for him after this upcoming season, if not sooner.
The signing upgrades the roster without wasting the final scholarship for this upcoming season (which may already be spoken for with another signing, we hope). We'll try to contact Okrzesik for additional comments.
