I dislike writing about walkermayo (or is it mayowalker) so much that I almost never do it. Maybe it's because I have to hose down myself and my laptop every time I do. It's not about walkermayo; it's all the junk that surrounds them, and every other big-time kid basketball player. The latest is that walker is done at NCH because, apparently, he didnt know what grade he was in, and nobody with his interests at heart (allegedly) bothered to fill him in. Now we cry big tears for the "exploited'' manchild. Oh, no, what will he do next season? And gee, how will NCH manage without him?

C'mon.

Walker will do fine. He's a basketball player, a very good one. Some team or school or team masquerading as a school will find a spot, somehow, for the 2nd-best high school player in the country, according to those who decide such things. NCH will manage as well, though the next time I hear that the school has put some of its extra basketball revenue toward something meaningful -- tutors, books, academic staff -- will be the first.

Meantime, don't fear for walkermayo. Soon enough, each will do what each wants to do -- play ball for money -- and we'll move on to worrying about the next "exploited'' kid, who will be 10 years old.
