His junior year, Walls was named Honorable Mention All-Big 12 and made the conference’s All-Newcomer team. As a senior, he was named First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches, and Second Team All-Conference. He also set an NCAA record with 15 points in an overtime period.

That same year, Walls signed a contract to play in Turkey with Galatasaray Cafe Crown. He has since played in both the Pro A and Pro B Leagues in France.
Famous quotes containing the word walls:
“Lift not thy spear against the Muses’ bower:
The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
Went to the ground; and the repeated air
Of sad Electra’s poet had the power
To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
