Does anyone know anything about how Antwan Walker is progressing in Coach Ewing's system? He doesn't play much.

Does anyone know anything about how Antwan Walker is progressing in Coach Ewing's system? He doesn't play much. He was easily one of the best guys at Kenner, and probably the best hoya at Kenner. It's a PT and position crunch. He's a tweener right now. Not strong enough for the 4. Could play the 3 but Kaleb is on fire and has seniority. I think derrickson is getting all the minutes at the 4. And Kaleb and Pickett are getting all the minutes at the 3. I would like to see him get more minutes at the 4 becuase he is active because he can be a true weapon by big east play. But he needs abut 15-20 min a game.

With Doc, Kaleb and Jamarko at the 3 and 4 minutes will be limited, and Antwan has some developing to do. But he has some dog in him on the boards, he'll get his minutes as the season goes on.

It is too bad that was the case, because that was a game where I think his energy and rebounding would have really added something to the team and he likely would have seen more minutes. Hopefully he gets some opportunities in the next few games because the Hoyas are going to need his rebounding against the better teams.

Give him time- he is a player and will develop as the season, and his career, moves forward.

Also, while Walker did only play 5 minutes against Richmond, he logged 12, 14, and 13 minutes in the other games. I don't expect he will play that much against the Big East, and it makes sense his minutes shrank against Richmond, but that's not a bad number for a freshman playing behind more seasoned guys.

He's our one and only frontcourt option on the bench right now.
He'll play... and he'll play a lot more when Jessie and Marcus are in foul trouble.

Really tremendous game today against Alabama A&M. Has good skill finishing on the break. Showed some nice rebounding and post moves. Count me in the group that thinks he should play ~10 minutes per game in conference. Probably 5 minutes spelling Govan with Derrickson still in the game, and 5 minutes spelling Derrickson with Govan still in the game.

We can win alot of games if he plays.
