Well that's definitely an impact recruit everyone was looking
for.

ha, yes it is.
pikiell is in the odd situation of having to convince a recruit
twice. or maybe on the second time, he didn't have to!
the nice thing is that he is not an unknown quantity nor a work
in progress. no waiting to see if he is a bust. he's an impact
player. in fact he might even be improved.
this really changes the look of the lineup. where does he fit
in? im assuming he stays in that sort-of-3 slot that he plays?
he's a little short to play power forward, but has that style of
play and could be a valuable swingman.
early prediction is warney and mcgrew in the post, tre and
woodhouse/thrower up top, maybe walker/nyama in the mix?

The only down side i remember of Walker was sometimes his
wildness on the floor and his free throws were only 57%. The
craziness at times is something that can be fixed fairly easily,
but improving at the foul line takes a lot more practise.. All
in all, this is a plus for SBB come next season!!!!!

Walker shot over 40% from the field as a freshmen, and has
probably gotten better. I'd have to agree with the consensus and
say this is a big addition.
My two cents for the starting lineup next year- Warney, McGrew,
Nyama, Mitchell and Woodhouse (personally I like Tres off the
bench- though Coach P will likely start his senior and captain),
with Tres and Walker providing meaningful minutes. Add in
Thrower and Sekunda (Petrus?) and you're looking at a pretty
deep team that could beat you from the inside and also run teams
from the AE off the court.

Hammer - Walker didn't leave the team, but was actually kicked
off the team for failing at least two drugs tests for pot.

Lax, smoking weed is a violation in the Penal code. Being
thrown off the team for that is petty. . I rather see that than
steroids! !. I don't condemn the boy for that!!

Also mentioned on the AE board yesterday
"Something from the other SBU's message board (Bonnies).

I heard Ogunyemi to Stony Brook but that was before his visit.
Hopefully coach and staff made a good impressio.

Would love to bring in Ogunyemi. Have him work with Warney while
he redshirts next year, and give us a proven commodity the
following year after Warney graduates.
Hope it happens.

Looks like the Seawolves have a lot of wingmen all of a sudden:
