Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 5042702, member: 439"] Fresno State was the worst place he could have gone. Back on the old AOL board I recall hearing that Walton’s mom was pissed at SU and JB for not “doing more” to get him eligible, and she was the one who ultimately talked him into transferring. I heard JB tried to explain the situation and told her the best thing for him to do was stay in school at SU and wait it out for the year, if necessary, as they kept working on it. She was having none of it. It’s really sad, actually. I’m sure JB and the university would have kept fighting to try and get him eligible. We had just come off probation a couple years earlier and were in no place to ‘poke the bear’, so to speak. He should have taken the punishment and stayed with JB. He would have been better off in the long run, especially having Blackwell here to help as he was sitting out as a transfer. Fresno was NOT a good environment for Walton. [/QUOTE]
