Walker update -- Bill Walker, the acclaimed 6-foot-6 guard/forward from Cincinnati, has been admitted to K-State, according to Pat Bosco, the university's associate vice president/dean of student life.
He might be on campus soon, but he won't be joining the basketball team just yet.
According to gopowercat.com, Walker has been cleared by the NCAA and will enroll at K-State. But the issue was too late in being resolved for Walker to enter the school's short fall semester, so he can't be a member of the basketball program.
He can attend school and officially join the team at the end of the school's fall semester, in time for K-State's Dec. 17 game against Kennesaw State in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic opener at Bramlage Coliseum. In the interim, he can work out on his own and get in shape for his debut.
"He's a prospective student-athlete," K-State athletic director Tim Weiser said on Wednesday, meaning he couldn't comment further.
The Ohio State High School Activities Association ruled Walker, the No. 6 player in the Class of 2007 according to Rivals.com, had exhausted his eligibility, so Walker opted to graduate early from North College Hill High in an effort to enroll in college in an effort to play this year. He passed his ACT, and he submitted an application to K-State.
"He met or exceeded our criteria," Bosco said Wednesday.
