Lets not forget that the likely reason for a PG year was grades. Perhaps an offer is contingent upon an improvement in grades or SAT/ACT scores? Pure speculation but the point is we do not really know the specifics of these recruiting decisions. What decisions are you referring to here?

Decisions as to why any given player selects a given school. Not specific to this recruit.

Bring it home Hoyas! Waters and Walker would be a great class...perhaps the start of an exceptional one.

Staff really wants Walker to be a Hoya.

Would be an incredible turnaround in our recruiting in the space of a few days. Hopefully having a guy like Waters to get you the ball will help Antwan make his choice.

Billy Martin 2.0, he and Waters would be an incredible recruiting get by the Hoya staff.

Yeah, I see two totally different types of player, but I can see Walker being just as effective, given the right guys around him. Man, was Martin money on the very first baseline basket of the game, every damn game, it seemed!

I want Walker because he is a winner. Dude plays hard and is a tough son of a gun.

If it's down to GU and Va Tech .. I expect him to pop to Gtown by next week.

Don't underestimate the lure of the ACC as we on this board did when GU was competing against lower tier ACC programs like Wake and Miami and still lost. Don't underestimate that Va. Tech is still relatively close to Walker's home. And don't underestimate Buzz Williams who may look like a dork but from what I have picked up on is probably more charismatic in a one-to-one sitdown with recruits than III is. Buzz has Tech on a major upswing after last season and you just know he wants to break into the DC area as far as recruiting is concerned. Virginia Tech made it to the final two for Walker and that speaks volumes.

Tech has a really good class coming in already with Bede highlighting. I think they are in the final for the big from Kaleb's old school. And they are in the ACC. I think we should be in great shape but he may want to get away.

I think we should be in great shape but he may want to get away. As much as I loved Bede, the Alexander-Walker kid is the best incoming kid for Buzz.. They have the potential to form a nice tandem for Buzz.. I have positive thoughts on the staff landing Walker, they have momentum on their side right now..

Hey, we beat out the Big 10, as well as the Big 12 and the SEC (sort of) for Tremont. I ain't afraid of no Coast.

In This world of recruiting , I never under-estimate any situation. All good points MCI , I just feel this is where he wants to be and it will happen after he takes his little visit to V Tech. We won't look back now .. the staff can't afford to. I think they get it done. This kid is gonna be that Glue guy we need in a couple years. A fearless competitor and work horse. We need that and the staff is pushing for a reason.

Virginia Tech made it to the final two for Walker and that speaks volumes. Totally agree with this. Plus, we need to make sure that Buzz doesn't lock Walker in a room somewhere and release him only when he commits. We need to send someone down to Virginia Tech to put Buzz out of commission - slip him some Ex-Lax, or something.

Look...I know that the staff really wants him. He would be a very nice player for the Hoyas....but IMHO we are okay either way.
