Ulla,
Thanks for the video of Wyatt Walker. he appears to be an excellent fit for what we look for in a big man. He appears to have the full-package, including very nice court vision, which is a huge + in our system. In the first 1:30 of the video that was posted, he had already made several great passes. Reminds me a lot of Dan Geriot, and we could definitely use another Dan. It is likely he would earn some serious minutes too. Would be willing to take an "injury" risk for a guy with this kind of skill-set.
A couple of other thoughts on the upcoming signing period:
First, we have done terribly with grad transfers, mostly because the pool is to shallow that it is mostly mud.
Second, the spring signing period is also always shallower than the fall, and has a much higher percentage of guys who are not well-prepared academically. The best one I can recall we got was David Gonzalvez, who had been a 6th-man on a good team in his senior year. That one worked out, but I would much rather see us keep two spots open than try to fill them with a shaky grad transfer and an academically challenged late signee.
If the right guy (with the skills and academic mix) is available now, OK. If not, let's save a spot for Bryce and hold it until November if Bryce does not want to play with his brother on a team that has nowhere to go but up. We have 4 guys coming in who should give us all the depth we need. Holding one or two spots would be my vote, unless we get a lucky strike from the deep pool (Bryce, Sy, or Wyatt).
