Tyrice Walker played on X's 1990-1993 team as a small forward. He started I believe his senior year. He was athletic and a slasher/dunker. Played with Gladden, Grant, Williams and Gentry.

Isaiah is listed as the shooting guard, but he is quick. Maybe we could think of him as Adam Kunkel 2.0.

If you watch his You Tube highlights video, he made a high arcing three pointer over the jumping All Wright in a Valpo game. And a cool transition finish in the Evansville game when Pozatto chases him all the way back across the timeline, and is about half a step too late.

Agree he will play both positions, and maybe disrupt on defense kinda like Foster.

Kunkel shot 40% from 3.. Walker shoots 32%, cant imagine that gets much better with a step up in competition, but would be nice to have a Kunkel 2.0

You’re right I just read he will be a senior next year. I’m guessing he may have came home for a hometown discount considering his dad went to Hamilton High School, then went on to X. I have no inside info at all here, but maybe he reached out to X and coming home to play where his dad did, not to mention he grew up in Wyoming and played at LaSalle. Doesn’t seem like a future pro. So this could set him up for the future here in Cincinnati like his dad. I believe his dad may have transferred in from somewhere, graduated and has a successful realty business. Or used to. Not sure.

He played at Wyoming, not LaSalle.

And Sykes, Hawkins, Sears and Massey.

I remember more of those guys that the 50 guys we’ve shuffled through the program over the last 5 years

Agree.

While I'm not sure most of those older guys could have played in the Big East (maybe), X did a tremendous job in the MCC days of finding really good talent that could punch well above its conference weight.

Massey and Hawkins would have been just fine. Sykes and Sears not so much.

I think Brian Grant, Tyrone Hill, Derek Strong and Aaron Williams would have been just fine in the Big East!

moved back to Cincinnati in 1990 and was in 5th grade. My father immediately got us season tickets with a group of his highschool/college friends. This was the team that i watched and learned what Xavier basketball was. We even went to Indianapolis to watch this team play IU in the second round of the tournament in 1993. Walker was the athletic freak with highlight reel dunks

Sykes was good as a senior. It took him awhile to contribute but as an upperclassman he’d was solid at that level and would be a bench guy in the BE.

I liked ATrain ALOT, but he was a string bean early on. But wouldn’t have contributed in the BE until his jr or sr seasons.

I always like Mike Hawkins. He lived across the hall from me when we were both freshmen. Years later (1997 or so) he was playing for a Greek team and faced the Bulls or the Olympic national team with Jordan in a “friendly” game and he match up with MJ and held his own. Always thought that was cool.

Dante Maddox in the portal? Per 24/7.

He’s played 5 years. Presumably zero eligibility left. What’s up with that?

Also Simeon Witcher from SJU in the portal.
