Wojo and Staff have a big opportunity with Wally. They have a year to figure convert his athletic potential into basketball productivity. We could have some rotations that are incredibly quick and explosive. Deonte, JJJ, Duane and Wally would be highly entertaining .

With a ton of turnovers, a very low shooting percentage, and no defense.

Several can. And Derrick's D is vastly overrated. Thanks to Bert.

He can def be a high energy effort rotation guy at a minimum, no downside to him at MU.  Love the dunk.

This. Also Wally is REALLY excited to play on the same team as his brother again. The two are really close and maybe that is the push he needed to get better so he can actually be on the court with Henry.

I thought Wojo was going to recruit basketball players, not just athletes.

Didn't you hear that white men cant jump?Then again even if he could, could he he hit a free throw at 70% +? If so he has a future at MU.

I see Wally potentially playing a high-energy role like that dude from Florida Gulf Coast a few years ago.  He could add some flair, bounce, and a little swagger.

Loved watching Dunk City.

Work on Wally's fundamentals and Wojo could have a player competing for starters' minutes

Wally couldn't get off the bench at Minnesota.  Now is going to compete for starter minutes at Marquette?

Are we down with the depaul or is he going to have some kind of miraculous conversion?

Jajuan Johnson couldn't get off the bench last season, now is going to compete for starter minutes in 2014-2015? Buzz isn't the only coach who benched players for reasons other than their playing ability on the court.

Everything I have heard about Wally indicates that he is going to be a contributor. He is the best athlete on the team but doesn't have the best fundamentals. If Wojo can remedy that, I see no reason why he can't compete for starters' minutes.

I dont get this. If youve seen him play you can see that hes putting it together. Especially on defense. Afterall, someone has to guard Henry in the Ellenson family back yard pick up games.

Your comment seems to indicate a lot of confidence in Pitino and little in Wojo.  Have you seen that much of Pitino and Wally?
