We would've had had four 1000-pt scorers in this senior class.  With his 17 today, he now has 291 on the season.  Add that to the 457 he scored last year, and that's 748 in not quite two seasons.  If he had transferred a year earlier, he easily would've topped 1,000 in three years at Ohio.  As it is, with the 32 he had at his previous school, he's at 780.  And with six regular season games, maybe two MAC tourney games and at least one post-season tourney game (NCAA or otherwise) left, he should break 900 easily -- still something to be mighty proud of.

[NOTE: My earlier post said if he had come here first.  But that if he had done that, he would've graduated last year, since he sat out a year after transferring from his previous school.]

I really like Walt. He's a factor on both ends. He's very solid in a lot of areas and his toughness is through the roof.

I agree...Walt is a huge part of our team's success.  Pound for pound there has not been a tougher player at OU in a very long time.  I love his willingness to guard the other team's best wing player (usually bigger than he is) and still have the energy to attack the rim on offense.
