Is he supposed to be any good?

He’s a walk-on. That’s your answer.
Still makes for a good story and a nice moment for the family, even if he doesn’t get much court time.

Yeah and so was Doug McDermott.
Dude was killing it 8 years ago!
Seemed to be getting D3/NAIA grades. Probably similar to Mervis.

Doug was already an All-American when he chose to play as a walk-on his senior season.
All-American Doug McDermott to become walk-on for Creighton
Doug McDermott is sacrificing something much more than he ever had before.

A better example would have been Jake Odum.
Using Doug McDermott as an example is also disingenuous. It's also where the NCAA should have been like "Nice try pops" with that.
Dad paid for Doug to be a walk-on.

This is cool. What an awesome experience it would be to coach your son at a high level.
Congrats to the young Schertz for his opportunity. What little I’ve gotten to know about Coach over the last year says that no way his son has a seat on the bench if he isn’t dedicated and can’t contribute in some way (even if just in practices).
It was time for Mervis to go pro anyway. We weren’t holding onto him forever.

That is the expectation of every walk-on AND scholie player... be they nephew, son, cousin or uncle
contribute in the way the team needs and be dedicated
not sure of the "coolness" factor... I can only think of two ISU coaches who were at ISU long enough to coach a child...
Bob Warn and John McNichols...
any others?
Jesus dude. I’m talking about the coolness factor as a father and son. Not sure if you have kids, but coaching my son is one of the highlights I have as a father. I’m sure Coach Schertz feels the same.

Mitch Hannahs coached his oldest son.
I'm not sure why it matters but I think Dennis Raetz was a football coach for nearly 20 years here in some capacity or another. Not sure if he ever coached his son Mark or not but I believe Mark played football for ISU.
