EXCERPT:


Brad Underwood labels Thomas Walkup “the best player in the country nobody knows about,” though it’s hard not to know about a two-time Southland MVP who averages 17.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and also is a three-time all-defensive honoree.

Despite being only 6-foot-4, Walkup defends in the post thanks to owning the physique of an NFL tight end, a nod to the weight room commitment Underwood enacted.
