Bill Walker set to transfer?

Some people think KSU's Bill Walker will leave early for the NBA, but I've been hearing some rumblings that he may transfer to this school:

Potty school really gets 'em going - CNN.com


Sorry, I saw that headline and couldn't resist...

Re: Bill Walker set to transfer?

To me walker is one of those "great" ,and I use the term loosely, college players whose game doesn't translate all that well to the NBA. He isn't tall enough to be a banger and doesn't have the one on one moves to be a slasher/wing.

Re: Bill Walker set to transfer?

I think he will do fine in the NBA because of his incredible strength and his midrange jumper. Maybe the best midrange jumper in the Big 12.

Bonzi Wells and Ron Artest. If they have a spot in the league so does Walker.

Re: Bill Walker set to transfer?

He had probably the two most intense dunks against us all year in the same game. He is a load.

Re: Bill Walker set to transfer?

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I swear there is no team that did less with more talent this year than K-State.

I don't care if those guys were freshmen. They had support and pretty decent depth.

I'm pretty sure Tim Floyd will have a scheme in place that can shut down one or both of the two loads, and if it comes down to coaching, Tim Floyd against Frank Martin, I tell you that isn't a fair fight.

Good post. Id love to see Mayo come out as the top freshman of the 3. That kid is increcibly smart, good guy, great player.

And it couldn't have happened to a more appropriate program!

Re: Bill Walker set to transfer?

I wish I had thought of it before the KSU game but would have been funny to have some CA people take some white towels and put yellow food coloring on them then wave them when Walker went to shoot free throws

And he's only the fourth best freshman in the Pac 10.

Ha, that's classic. I was at IUPUI last August for a work function for a week....their mascot is a jaguar. Not sure how they came up with that.
