Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Lureon Walker
Class: 2022
Committed to: UNC-Pembroke
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“After putting together extended stretches of undeniable production, Lureon Walker should start seeing an uptick in his overall recruitment. Although his high school statistics leave a little to be desired, numerous college coaches who’ve watched him this season have walked away impressed. The captivation is certainly warranted, as a prospect widely unknown to college coaches is basically lacing up and putting on effortless twenty or thirty-point scoring displays on a regular basis. Walker is a heady cutter and useful perimeter shooter, but arguably at his best when attacking in transition or turning forced turnovers into fast-break opportunities. He’s a long, wiry, athletic wing prospect with anticipation and a nice two-way feel for the game. Walker should end up in the college ranks.”
“Walker comes in as a name many saw this summer but could see an uptick being with GBB. Has a natural/smooth feel to his game, plays at a great pace, and is an athletic prospect that can finish at the rim. A skilled prospect that creates opportunities for himself well.”
“Although they were short-handed and without many of their main pieces, Walker was quick to step up and make plays within the flow of the action. He’s arguably at his best as a penetrator, but is more than capable of hitting jumpers at a respectable clip. Walker is a quality athlete with length, toughness, and the ability to thrive in transition. He’s also a useful defender and operates well within the framework of this team.”
