[NU Sports] Stunned sadness

[Roy Lamberton]

I had to take my wife to the airport and got a call about 8:30 from ESPN looking
for a reaction [thanks Willie]

As I told them, I'm shocked because I thought he didn't have any further heart
disease, but I'm even more upset because of what it might do to the team.

Walker is a consumate recruiter - he has a number of "tests" for potential
players that has led to us getting the quality of kid wearing Purple.

Thank God Fitz is there to continue the legacy, along with all the assistants. 

We also need to keep Jerry Brown in our thoughts - he's the guy who has to hold
this together until a new coach is named.

Man, I didn't need this today...RIP Randy Walker
