Absolutely. I was going to add that stipulation, if you get preferred walk-on status at a school like Florida it usually means that, but certainly if they gave him that for any other reasons than basketball skills, the offers probably wouldn't come. Coaches like having able bodies to practice against though with that preferred walk-on spot....so he must be good enough to provide that at least. I haven't looked into him too much.
Edit: here is his Max preps page:

Yeah, probably a favor/PR. 11/game is not bad though. I'd be curious to see actual game length footage from his high school and how he deals with traps and all that..
