Though many schools have wrapped up their recruiting in the Class of 2024, Indiana State has been hard at work especially in the state of North Carolina as they have landed two commitments in the last week. 2024 6’5 Jayan Walker and 2024 6’10 Bobby Cannon both announced that they would be heading to Indiana State, with the Sycamores adding more firepower to their roster. With two familiar faces to Phenom Hoops, we provide a little bit more on each.
2024 6’5 Jayan Walker
Walker is a 6’5 prospect who really started to see an uptick in his recruitment at Millbrook and continued that success at Combine Academy. When you talk about his game, Walker is one that brings good positional size, gets to his spots, and excels in his ability to rise up over defenders (whether off the dribble or off the catch) for his jumper from multiple levels. But he has continued to add more to his arsenal, allowing him to be a well-rounded prospect. A smooth mid-range game that can stretch out to behind the arc but can also be a playmaker that can play within what the team needs.
2024 6’10 Bobby Cannon
Cannon is coming off a state championship and also one of his best seasons as a senior, as the long 6’10 prospect was a man on a mission to prove himself. That he did, and now he will be heading to Indiana State after decommitting from New Orleans. Cannon is a unique prospect with just how long he is, as well as being a player that runs the floor well, finishes at the rim, can alter shots with his wingspan, and is comfortable in finishing with touch inside as well as stepping out on the court.
