Class of 2017 SG Lonnie Walker (PA) to Miami

[PauliePeppas]

Walker dropped a season high of 37 points today in the district quarterfinals. Have some other newsworthy stuff about him that I'll talk about on my new pod coming either late tomorrow or Monday.

Quade and Walker backcourt would be stellar

#Love

If Diallo stays in the 2017 class. Just recruit him and Walker hard and play the first come, first serve card. Unlike the Joseph vs Newton situation, I don't really see a bust factor between these two. So no bad choice either way imo.

Walker had a game high 25 points today, leading his Reading squad to a district championship. They start PA state play next Saturday.

 

[Francis03]

Led the way with 21 points and 8 boards in Reading's first round win the state tourney yesterday.

 

[Francis03]

Another big time performance from Walker in a state quarterfinals win today. 30 points, 7 boards, 5 dimes, and 3 get that weak outta here.

Should be allll over this kid, will regret it in the future.

I think Nova will be tough to beat here, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Unfortunately I think this will come down to whether JB wants to put in the effort or not. Sending the assistant only won't work here.

Maybe Diallo is a sure thing? I don't know. The recruiting malaise has gotten frustrating...

Integrity nowadays. Very refreshing. I'm a big fan of this kid. Just seems like a born winner.

g o d d a m n i t, JB! Get off your couch and make the effort, old man.

We need this kid

 

[CuseRaised]

Great kid and VERY athletic!

Unfortunately Walker's season came to an in the state semifinals. Reading took the L to Wiz Khalifa's, Taylor Allderdice last night. Walker had a season low 6 points in the loss. He'll team up next with DCR on Team Final, in the EYBL circuit for the spring/summer.

Great season though, and I expect big things from both of these guys in the near future.

Couple of full games coming up - right in your wheelhouse
Lonnie's usually number 4.

Kid just needs a nickname. Maybe we should start with Pinto? Or Lonnie "Don't call me Larry" Walker? Actually, I think he goes by Lonnie "Sky" Walker.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Coach B is visiting Lonnie this week, great to hear.

Awesome to hear. Getting two of Walker/Green/Diallo would be a game changer and YUGE step for the program.

First of all, love the AH theme. RF started it a few threads ago, and I've been riding it ever since.

Second, if Walker's vid features old-school hip-hop and is titled, "remember my name", we might as well make it easy -- skyWalker it is.

Walker's frame and fade kinda remind me of a young Dave Johnson.

Francis03 - I just saw this in daily articles:
http://www.pennlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/04/readings_lonnie_walker_enjoys.html
Wants to play point guard? "On", synonymous with Donkey Kong so get it done, JB!
Lonnie for Prez, there I said it.
