"We've also gone over to Ricky Proehl's place in Greensboro," Walter continued. "They have 80 yards of football turf so we've done a lot of ground ball work, some bunt defense, some pickoffs, some of the things we would normally do on an infield diamond, we've been doing over there."

In all he finished with 28 points, sniping 11-for-18 from the floor and going, oh, well, just 1-for-3 at the line. He also collected three assists and left the gym with a hint of an attitude.

We’re getting to point now where our recruiting classes are not weighted on offense or defense, we’re a little more balanced, which I like."
