I’m glad Antwan found a new school and I think he will do very well there. Wishing him the best. Down that he had to leave. Will we ever know what happened? I hope he doesn't kill us when we meet in the NCAAs next year. |

I hope he doesn't kill us when we meet in the NCAAs next year. Really happy that Antwan found another school and is getting another chance. He seemed to be a nice young man, who made a mistake and had to pay the consequences. Hopefully he takes this as a teachable moment and does well at URI. It would have ben interesting to see Antwan and LeBlanc on the floor a the same time this year. That would have ben a super athletic duo that would have caused havoc on the glass for other teams. |

Anyone heard the rumor that Walker is transferring to Providence?
He transferred to Rhode Island. Previously reported on the front page. --Admin

Would that be a loop hole to transfer back into the Big East. |

Just my opinion, but even if there were a loophole via the A-10, I doubt much that Cooley would do that. Too much class, not to mention respect for GU.

I apologize. I missed the Antwan Walker thread. I understand everyone's desire to see Walker clean up his act and make the most of his opportunity at Rhode Island but his absence really hurts the Hoyas this year. Saw him at Kenner this summer and was blown away. I'm sure PE had him penciled in for some valuable minutes. Reminds me a lot of how Whittington's abrupt departure hurt us. I hope everyone who criticizes PE's coaching and results this year understand that this Hoya team would have won at least 2-3 more games with Walker and would be a much more formidable program going forward the next two years with him on the team. So while I wish him well I hope he stinks up the joint at R.I.

At least according to media reports, Walker was dismissed as of October 11, 2018. I realize that the reason he is ineligible is because he was enrolled at Georgetown for the fall semester 2018, which is what matters for eligibility, but I think this is a silly rule (and generally speaking, I think the one year sit-out rule should stay in place). If you don't play at all during a season and you transfer and/or are dismissed, you should not have to wait a third semester (essentially 1.5 years), to play again.

I have no idea whether it's true or not but I do know that the NCAA shouldn't be relying on what a previous program has to say on the matter... |

I like the comment from a Rhody fan that it was Georgetown's fault for putting Walker in an environment where he gets in fights with other students.

I am presuming that a "run off" means that the only reason he left is because he wasn't going to play and we wanted his scholarship (i.e. Robby Benson in One On One!). Certainly every indication there was more involved here.

I disagree, I think they have to ask the former coaching staff of the student athlete why the player left as well as interview the student athlete. If Walker wanted a change of environment that's one thing i.e. what we know of Ian Steere situation with NC State, now at St. John's. Walker was dismissed for allegedly multiplied fights. At the end, I do think he should be eligible to start this season since he didn't play a game his sophomore year at Georgetown. It feels as if the NCAA is suspending him for 10 games on top of his dismissal from Georgetown and that's not fair. Same goes for Ian Steere... |
