No Tony Walls

[squirrel]

I don't ever post here, but just wanted to bring this to the board's attention:

Per Mark Miller, Tony Walls will be attending UWGB instead - it is cheaper for him to play both sports there.

Thats a crapty rule that he can't recieve a soccer scholarship if he walks on to the basketball team.

I guess it keeps schools from abusing other sports scholarships but still.

not sure why he is just realizing this now this was speculated and explained on the board 6 mos. ago.

There's more to the story.  This isn't news to Walls.  Best of luck to Tony.

No loss here, move on.

For the soccer program, it is a significant loss.

Unfortunate for the soccer team.

Not a big deal for the basketball team-I remember when we did the investigation into his scholarship situation a couple months back that we found out that based on his high school numbers there was a good chance Tommy Brice would own him in one-on-one.

I agree he isn't a loss for basketball but that sucks for soccer.

Is UWGB good at soccer?  I don't understand why you would give up your primary sport of soccer under a great coach of Louis Bennett with Big East compition and go to UWGB just so you could also sit on the bench for b-ball.

I realize the guys soccer team has struggled the last few years but its been a transistion peroid for Louis while he gets his system and players in here.
