Please god offer this dude.
Yeah we might as well put a feeler out.. He looks very talented.

IIRc his reputation was being a lockdown defender coming inMan was Long a miss, not sure what the recruiting services saw in him as he wasnt a very good shooter and wasnt very athletic either, which is kind of a death nell for a shooting guard.
Yeah, Walker wasn't very good last year. I wonder if he'll even draw any high-major interest. Unless the potential pickup is a pretty sure-fire guard (even a RS one) prospect, then I think you save it for the midyear market or a freshman.

Maybe he was injured and suffered lingering issues as a result. I don't have any info, just pure speculation on my part. Both he and Zion Griffin as 4 star borderline top 100 players is baffling and makes you question the integrity of these recruiting services.

i'd take this kid as a sit 1 play 2
6'6" looks like a 2-4 type
Sophomore year...
PRPG! = 4.3
ORTG = 114.2
USG = 26.6%
TS = 59.6%
R% = 22.1%
AST% = 4.8%
TO% = 10.5%
FT% = 64.1% (127/198)
3% = 33.3% (15/45)
This is an interesting case. He made a large leap from his freshman to his sophomore year, and he mostly maintained these efficiency levels as a sophomore against top 100 and top 50 opponents, which warms my heart.
He is not an elite outside shooter or rebounder, but he is very efficient about scoring from inside of the three-point line, doesn't turn it over too much (though I would not call him a distributor considering his low AST% above).
Nothing flashy -- but very efficient. Good growth year-to-year.
Yeah, I would reach out and kick the tires on this one. You can never have too many swingmen. Having him to replace JCL the year after next might be nice.

He's a 4/undersized 5. Nice to see he flashed an ability to at least be a threat from outside (33% 3PT shooter - though low volume) his sophomore year. Highlights remind me a little of Shakur Juiston. He's strong and explosive inside.
Worth noting he's already used a redshirt year so will lose one a year if he doesn't get a waiver. Originally from Baltimore and Maryland has a need. I wonder if the Terps will be in on this one.
I like this kid. However, Don't we have a bunch of people at that position already?
I wouldn’t hate going after this guy with the last scholarship, would be a decent Solo replacement
