Finally an "athlete" to make BYD happy! :clapping

Does that mean Walt's family will be coming to basketball games now, too?

What's your source on that? He is listed at 6'1" on both the FB and BB rosters, and based on seeing him on the football field, I think that's about right.
You're right - 6'1". My mistake. I don't know why I was thinking 6'3"

I would say a better comparison would be one of the few bright spots of the Hanky era, Carl Williams, a player closer to Walt's size who made an impact in his one year based almost entirely on his sheer athleticism. He led the nation in steals playing the small forward poition at 6'1". As far as I know he is still the only LU MBB player to lead the nation in any statistical category.

The difference is that Carl had spent 3 years as a BASKETBALL player at WVU before transferring. Walt hasn't played organized basketball since HS. I still think Carl could have been an NFL defensive back, but as far as I know, he never pursued it
