Newsstand: Michigan forward Sam Walters chooses transfer destination
Tweets Of The Day
Michigan forward transfer Sam Walters has committed to Mississippi State. Walters spent his freshman season at Alabama, sophomore year at Michigan and will head to Mississippi State for his junior campaign.
More on Walters after he entered the portal from The Wolverine’s Anthony Broome:
Walters played in 23 games this season at Michigan, averaging 5.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game in 12.7 minutes. Known as a sniper with length, Walters hit 36.6% of his shots from distance this season. He missed the final month and a half while dealing with a back injury and last played on Feb. 8 at Indiana. Walters scored a season-high 13 points twice this season in wins over Tarleton State and Western Kentucky in non-conference play.
“The biggest part (where) Sam can impact the game is shooting the basketball,” May said at Big Ten media days in October. “He’s got unlimited range. When he walks into the gym, he’s in range. He gets it off quick, and he is confident. If he can see the rim, he’s letting it fly.”
The 6-10, 200-pound wing did not travel with the team for its final three weekends of the season in Indianapolis at the Big Ten Tournament and Denver and Atlanta in the NCAA Tournament.
Michigan will host UMass running back transfer CJ Hester this weekend. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder rushed 119 times for 529 yards and 4 touchdowns last season.
