When do you decide the 3 ptr isn't working and go inside? It seemed to work for them Wednesday.

 

Easier said than done. They struggled to get penetration via the dribble or pass. It's not as if they had many chances to get inside shots.

Walters has come a long way and will continue to improve that is not a question. My question is why a kid that tall isn't in double digits every game? I believe he has it in him but not the confidence to do so, yet. The moment he decides he has had enough everyone better watch out.

 

Next season should be a fun season to watch.

That's not good for a kid his size. Granted not a chance he is as tall as they annoumce. Seems to frequently underperform

 

I never understood the inability of some coaches to use a tape measure and scale. And just to be clear, this comment is not directed at Jake. It happens all of the time.

The kid has a major upside, let's leave it at that.

Not sure why some continue to question the play of Walter. It is still very, very early in his development. Most teenagers his size are slower to develop in many athletic aspects when compared to more average size players. It has been noted on here he is a very young junior and how much BB has the kid played? Wasn't he more of a football player in middle school and freshman yr of HS? And he is at best CCH's 5th (scoring) option, maybe 6th or 7th. It has also been mention on BGP that Walter is attracting some interest from college coaches. Nothing personal but I trust college coaches' evaluation over BGP commentators.

 

I'm not picking on Wurtz from NCC, but did he score last night? No one asking "what did Wurtz do?" Or commenting "That's not good for a kid his size. Granted not a chance he is as tall as they annoumce. Seems to frequently underperform"

 

When I watch Walter play I see a kid that has worked his butt off, has great footwork for a 6'-10' (or however tall he is) 16 yr old. Plays with passion and 100% accepts his role. I'll take him on my team every chance I get.

 

Walter is every bit of 6'10" plus.......7'1" as announced might be a stretch. Young man as improved since last year and as slimmed down. There is no need for him to score in double digits when CJ and CVH go 14/14 from inside the arch. Once he develops confidence with a strong move with his back to the basket........look out. I agree with other on here, much upside to his game.

 

Wurtz had no points last night, but the CovCath defense had alot to do with Trey not getting touches down low. Overall, I was very impressed with Trey's game this season. Good luck to him next year on the college hardwood.

What colleges are looking at Wurtz?

100% agree. He works very hard at getting better. And it shows from year to year.

He is going to Rose Hulman University, one of the top engineering schools in the country.

As someone who once coached a kid that was 6'9 as a 14 year old freshman trust me it takes them longer to get fundamentally solid. Just to awkward too many moving parts at that age. I saw Walter play and he's much farther along than I anticipated. Coaching staff doing a great job with him. And as a old coach told me once he's 6'10 and you can't teach that!
