If Florida wants him, I want him.
I know TF has a policy against posting from premium sites, but the meat of it is the distance factor. I think he'd be a good player. He's just not a post player. When I said that it wasn't a knock on him.Which really doesnt make any sense because they have signed 2 SGs already this year. I think this kid is a big pick up. Uconn, Fla, Fla.St, Kansas St all wanted this kid. He fits our style of play perfectly.
What type of scorer? Can he shoot or is he a driver?The kid is 6'6. Most say he is a scorer and can run the point if needed. If he comes great, but if not it's the end of the world for me. I'm not too terribly excited about this one. I got a little more excited about after Hankerson left.
Honestly, his tapes looks like Rodney Cooper's tape and JaCorey Williams.He looks a like a young more raw Keven Durant to me.

What's your best guess for Walker: Bama or Florida?
That all started to change Tuesday night. Billy D swooped in at the last minute and got him. Looks like he'll be a gator tomorrow.247 analyst William Gunter said 2 days ago that we are the team to beat for Walker. In the comments below the article.

I don't disagree, but there are a few factors in play. For starters in the fall we only had 1 spot open, but it looked as if we were going after 2. Marcus Hunt, Willie Cauley, Gavin Ware, and Devonta Pollard all had real intersest in us. We were in the top 2 for Hunt, Cauley, and Ware Sadly, they went with their other choice. Hunt and Ware stayed in state while Cauley went to UK. I don't think we can take resources away from those type of prospects to recruit Walker, Williams, and to a lesser extent Haughton. Everybosy except the mid major slow played all three of those guys. The second part of it is that I don't think Chick had any real interest in signing with Alabama. If we knew going into the year that Hankerson would leave and Mitchell would pull his crap I think our recruiting would have been a lot different.Should have signed Sword or Williams in my opinion.
And Arkansas.I don't think we can take resources away from those type of prospects to recruit Walker, Williams, and to a lesser extent Haughton. Everybosy except the mid major slow played all three of those guys.
That's true, but what really got Williams to Arkansas was Anderson and the assistant's ties to birmingham.And Arkansas.
I just don't like letting the in-state guys get away. We have to fight for every scrap as it is without letting other programs come in and get the local guys.
If we are going to gamble by going after out of state guys over in-state guys we need to land them.
