One of the Vols men’s basketball newcomers is 6’8 forward Derrick Walker from Kansas City, Missouri.
Vols coach Rick Barnes on Walker:
“Derrick is going to blend nicely into our team due to his combination of size, strength and toughness. We’re also excited about his basketball IQ and the fact that he’s a vocal defender, a good rebounder and an excellent ball-handler and passer for a player of his size. So there are a lot of signs that point to him being able to help us immediately. His next challenge is to get himself into great shape so that he can make the kind of impact we believe he’s capable of.”
