Walker, who hails from Phoenix (AZ), plays for Hillcrest Hoops and has offers from the Arizona Wildcats and USC Trojans among others. As mentioned above, it looks like the Notre Carolina Tar Heels and Kansas JAyhawks are getting involved as well. Anytime Kentucky, North Carolina are Kansas are recruiting someone, you know he’s a good one.
ESPN and 247 have the 6-5, 200-pound Walker listed as a small forward, while Rivals has him listed as a shooting guard. He’s ranked 10th overall in 2020 by 247 Sports, while ESPN and Rivals have him at 14th.
