Willie came in with a reputation as a gunner with a bad attitude. I didn't think it was fair. Last year he didn't seem that way at all. I defended him. Going into this season I defended him some more because I still didn't think he was a selfish player and had never seen a bad attitude.
But this year is completely different. I have been to every home game and every time I watch him in warmups, before the game, during the game, during timeouts, after the game, he just walks around. He has yet to go hard in warmups one time this year, something that he and the Griffins did nearly every game last year. It's a sign of preparation and caring about your performance and your team. And it carries over to the game.
Not only does he not run back on defense...a big reason we lost 3 in a row earlier in the season, but he kills our fast breaks and doesn't push the ball this year after we get a stop. He just walks it up. And even when TMG pushes it, WW won't run, so it still kills our break and TMG is forced to pull it out and wait for WW to lope down the floor.
It's really sad. I hope he has a MAJOR attitude change, otherwise we will not be playing in the postseason and he will end his OU career on a bad note.
