SIAP - anyone know how this Cape Cod kid came to play at RU as a walk on? Thanks.

My daughter is friends with him. She told me he was recruited as a walk on.. Tried out.. and made the team. That about all she knows.

Downes comes from Bridgton Academy. Perhaps a courtesy roster spot. Bridgton has sent a player or two to serious Div-1 programs. File to folder "Future Considerations".

Probably told the kid hit 2 jump shots from 15', you make the team. Hit 4 or more and you start. Seems fair considering our shooting woes.
