I think, given his close bond with his family, the fact that one brother is at Marshall and another has special needs and lives nearby with his mother, that you may be right.

Addressing the mini-me photo of the poster posted recently by the generous to a fault MrMac, anyone interested in viewing it almost life size, feel free to PM me your email address and I will get it to you by return email asap.

As to the reason for the inclusion of the SI photo centered on Mr. Charles Scott, both icons Cook and Huckel concurred thereupon, with Wayne noting that it confirmed his absence of any defensive responsibility for guarding him during that Elite Eight game sequence. Additionally, playing in the East Regional final remains the high water mark for DU all these many decades later. Moreover, while Scott is in it, more terrific DU players are shown and that season constitutes the greatest ever in our program's magnificent history, in my opinion.

Finally, I applaud this Board's hard working owners and administrators. They have served our community of Kool-Aid addicts with great perseverance and distinction. We all owe them our sincere gratitude.

The game sequence in the picture is not the buzzer beater by Charlie Scott.

Another reason why it was used with Mr. Huckel's concurrence, indeed.

Some new Walter Whyte highlights, who is currently on campus for his official visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUb8mK-lagw

The first 1:20 is just WW highlights, the rest are his teammates.

If you want to see him on McKillop Court, this is my video from the summer that includes him. It shows ball handling, a 3-pointer, a steal, and some nice moves. He's the one in the red and blue shorts.

Seeing him in person was enough to put him high on my wish list as a future Wildcat. About 7:21 shows what I hope will be past meets future.

Perhaps of more immediate interest is that Cave is on the skins team. You can compare him in June to how he looked now on the recent picture with the big tire. Bob did mention him by name as someone who has bulked up more, but that is more difference than I was expecting. Even the June version showed he had shaped up a lot from when he arrived here. The video also show him shooting threes.

Such objectification of the players.

Thanks. Hope Walter enjoys his (first official) visit to DU. Really hoping to see him team up with Kellan, Carter and, hopefully, Luke in the 2017 class.
