Weird thing just happened

[xcanadaman9x]

I'm 5 years into a closed legacy and before the start of the season I get a walk on that came in at 78 overall. Weird right? Not only that, he wears number 7. Even weirder that that, he is still a HS Sr and can still be recruited. Has this happened to anyone else?

I don't understand the number 7 reference, but that is pretty strange. Has never happened to me haha. Maybe he'll "walk-on" again next year.

Number seven, lucky number?

For those who don't know you can only wear the numbers 0-5 in college, thus number 7 shouldn't be able to be worn.

Ohhhh yeah, I completely forgot about that. That is really strange.

Why is it that you can only wear 0-5?

American basketball leagues at all levels traditionally use single and double digits between 0 and 5 (i.e. 0, 00, 1–5, 10–15, 20–25, 30–35, 40–45, and 50–55). The NCAA and most amateur competitions mandate that only these numbers be used. This eases non-verbal communication between referees, who use fingers to denote a player's number, and the official scorer. In college basketball, single-digit players' numbers are officially recorded as having a leading zero. Teams can have either a "0" or "00", but they cannot have both.

Hmm.. You learn something new everyday.. interesting.

Also, just noticed this in choops.

Yup when it's loud the refs call a foul and just signal to the people keeping numbers and all that who committed the foul by flashing their hand twice with the two digits, so only 0-5 is possible. Was the same way growing up too, think it lasts till NBA really.
