Eric shoots the ball a lot better than people give him credit for, but the quality of the shot has been more difficult in the past than it's had to be. With his size and athleticism, he just needs to keep it simple and force defenders to make great plays to stop him. Last week in Augusta was as good as I've ever seen him play.

There has been a lot of pressure put on Eric to prove that he's a better perimeter player than he has to be. He's the consummate team player and he's always trying to get his teammates involved, but we're trying to keep things simple.

By Brian Snow...Wallace orginally committed to Virginia but re-opened his recruitment. His father now says OSU and Louisville are ahead of Virginia and Florida. He will be making an official visit to OSU next weekend, currently his only official scheduled.

His Rivals and Scout bios indicate offers from Virginia, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State, Wake Forest, Florida, UConn and Baylor. I am assuming he has an offer from OSU as well, but until we get confirmation, I am not going to post the OFFICIAL OFFER. I will leave that up to OBJ.

He is originally from Kernersville, N.C.

Rate the #27 SF and #103 player overall by Rivals (3-stars). Rated the #23 SF and #95 player overall by Scout (4-stars).

It keeps looking more and more like the staff might want another player in the 07' class and it continues to suprise me with the guys that we should be signing or have a chance at in 08'.

Maybe there is some fear that more than just Cook and Oden could leave after this year???

We lose Harris and Lewis 4 sure. Then Cook and Oden could very easily leave. That would leave us with 7 returning players counting Madsen. With 3 guys coming in that gives us 10.

As for Wallace he seems like a project type that is a undersized 4 trying to develop into a 3.

I don't know 40...I just watched this kid's film and he doesn't look like much of a project to me...he seems like a heck of a swingman at 6-7. Like the a more polished and better built Ivan Harris coming out of Hargrave. His jumper is an area most seem to agree needs a little more refinement, but his athleticism is scary. I don't know what this signifies as far as early departures are concerned, but I don't think it has anything to do with who we might or might not be getting in 2008, although you and OBJ would certainly know better than I would.

After watching his rivals video I agree with you. I had looked at his scout video and it was only 40 seconds and hard to make any judgements. If there is an offer I have no problems with it and what is the saying 1 in the hand...

His jumper doesnt look that bad and he would be a great fit to play the 3 and let Diebler/Lighty play the 2.

BTW his dunks are freakin' awesome.

Junkie, you hearing anything?

Nothing.

Wallace has been kept low on the radar until today....I haven't heard anything solid on him yet. Its obvious at this point that the staff is looking for another player in the 2007 class. I think Wallace may have fell in their laps so to speak.....the staff pursuing him may just be perfect timing just my opinion.

The fact he is making an official visit would seem to indicate he has an offer but lets hold off for confirmation...
