Cant paste it here, but there is a free article over on rovals talking with Lonnie about the five schools that he is visiting, of which we are the last. Sounds like it would be tough for him to pick anyone other than Villanova, but it's always great to get that last visit ( unless they shut it down early. )

Syracuse- "They are basically saying that they can make me a way better guard than almost anybody else can. They have great assistants. Gerry McNamara and Coach Mike Hopkins are great, intense and exciting coaches. I feel like they can make me a better guard overall with my handling, shooting and overall feel."
Villanova- "It's really not even an approach anymore. It's just a bond now. They aren't worrying about telling me that I'm a priority because we've already been through those things. They are just saying we want you, we really love your game, you would fit here and it's close to home. There's so many factors that make them strong and I'm only 45 minutes away. The last three or four years I've really built a great bond with coach Jay Wright."
I think we have one chance. Has anyone got any video of Jay Wright hanging out with Donald Trump?
Article up on espn about his recruitment for those with insider: Will Arizona pull five-star Lonnie Walker away from Villanova?
For those w/o, here's the blurb about us, they have Arizona as the favorite for him as of now.
Contender: Syracuse
The Orange don’t necessarily have a natural recruiting base near the school, but Jim Boeheim and his staff have been able to effectively and consistently recruit Philadelphia and its surrounding areas for the last several years. More specifically, they have dipped into the Team Final AAU program -- the same one Walker played with the last few years -- and landed players on a regular basis. From Dion Waiters to Rakeem Christmas to Malachi Richardson, it’s difficult to beat Syracuse in Philadelphia. And Walker (and Quade Green) is next on that list. Andrew White was a very good late addition for the wing this season, but Boeheim needs some scoring punch for 2017-18.
“They produce great guards,” Walker said. “They know how to play you, they know how to make them better, make IQ better, overall game. That’s a great factor, their guard play.”
Syracuse is expected to get his final official visit.
And that's what we are up against. A very strong connection with a good coach and local program. Sounds like we are closing hard but can we close the gap and pass them?
Played close to Philly at TCA a few seasons and of course, his AAU team (Team Final). Should have been "philly area" player.Malachi is a Philly player? News to me.
Safe to say we can rule out Zona now
