No not sleeping on Richard at all, I thought he was going to have a great year this year. next year will be last year for Richard, we will see 3 years of Carey, Pickett and Walker!! all 3 can play the 1,2 or 3.. can shoot and ball handlers |

I’ll take 6-5 guys who can handle the ball and shoot every day of the week. His offers included FAU, Buffalo, Hofstra, and a bunch of Big South and NEC programs.
More digging coming but really like this add right before the signing period starts!

Very good commitment. A couple of more quality offers out. Maybe give one or two more. A SF and a center to this class would be a jackpot. What has signed already is very good. Looking up.

Great news on Walker! Let's get him signed today!
Also, unless he graduates in 2020 and opts to do what Brett did not do, Khalil will be here for the next two seasons, not just next year.
Finally, assuming no departures, we have scholarships for 2019-2020 committed to Friday, Huerter, Richard, Camper, Carey, Pickett, Seymour, Darwiche, Ratliff, Young, Sutherland and Walker. That would appear to leave only one more to give.

Did some more digging on Walker and found his AAU stats for the summer-- played with Garner Road on the Adidas Circuit this summer. If you combine his AAU and high school stats (only has full game stats for 7 games for each), you get this:
8.5 points per game, 3.6 rebounds per game, 1.7 assists per game vs just 0.6 turnovers per game (almost 3:1 A/TO). 48% from the field on a little over 7 attempts per game, 42% from 3 on a little over 2 attempts per game, 79% from the FT line on exactly 2 attempts per game.
Video I found was a "condensed game" highlight (10 minutes long) of a high school game last season. Walker was the 3rd or 4th offensive option on a loaded team but was impressive. His length pops out-- should be impactful on D in our system especially as he gets stronger. Made smart plays with the ball and without, got to the rim and finished through contact, and made good passes. Excited to see what he does during his senior year and then in the Green and Gold!

Love what we're seeing Tony! And to think some of the tape is almost two years old and he's distributing the ball that well! I love the drills where he's working on his left hand and finishing with his left. This is EXCITING!! |
