The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is likely to get an official visit from junior forward CJ Walker, one of the more the athletic prospects in the nation.
Walker, 6-8, 183 pounds of Orlando Christian Prep has 33 scholarship offers from Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Texas A&M, Georgetown, LSU, Louisville and others. He plays for Florida-based 17-under E1T1 on the Nike EYBL circuit.
E1T1 assistant coach and Walker's mentor Marcus Robinson, along with Walker's father Fareed Ford, are assisting him in the recruiting process.
"There are schools out there that we tell 'No, we're not interested' because we don't think it will be a good fit on and off the court, but Arkansas has a legitimate chance," Robinson said.
