Walker Commits to Louisiana

Grant in aid is/means a scholarship

So Kevin Brown if he graduates early and If he gives up that scholarship, we would have one more. Awesome for him and awesome for the program.

If Kevin gives up his scholarship, that likely means he does not return to the team. He could do the same thing the Williams kid from OK State is doing. That is transfer to another school for his last year of eligibility. He may seek a place where he would likely get more playing time. Personally, I think he would get plenty of playing time by staying. He may also want to move on with life outside of basketball with a degree in hand.

Three years ago, Devonta Walker left Salisbury for St. Ignatios Prep School in Spartanburg, S.C., hoping to continue a basketball career he had just gotten serious about a year earlier. Three years later, Walker, a 6-foot-7, 208-pound forward has signed to ...

Upgrade in position at the charity line. This player shoots .77 from the charity stripe, the player, Moore, he is expected to replace shot .56 from that spot. Moore got to take 50 shots last season. That is not quite two a game. Walker is described as a slasher so I would hope he gets a lot more attempts.

Welcome Mr. Waker you will enjoy yourself here.

Not necessarily. Elfrid Payton shot 90% from the FT line when he played for the national team and we all know how he struggled this past year. I'm sure there would be improvement but to what degree is to be seen

Hate to say this, but Stevie P always uses the big sample which included the entire universe. EP on the national team was small sample. We have three years of the big sample. We have a couple of years on this guy for the big sample.

Could EP's poor free shooting be caused by the number of minutes he was playing? For the USA team, he averaged 19 minutes a game. He was 9 of 10 from the line. I think the amount of minutes he played impacted his free throw percentage.

[MelRock]

I've said that, well what I said was that he does not use his legs enough to shot free throws. Usually that is because you are tired.

His free throws this year pretty much mirrored his career here.

I would agree on Payton but this guy is no lock to be a better free throw shooter than Moore was just because he's coming from JUCO. It all depends on how he transitions to the big dance.
