Jeremy Schneider of NJ Advance Media was first to report that the Patrick School guard from New York has committed to the Pirates, giving Seton Hall four players in their 2017 class. Walker joins the likes of Myles Cale, Darnell Brodie and Sandro Mamukelashvili as incoming freshmen who will join a pretty vaunted Seton Hall team that will be aiming to make the NCAA Tournament for three consecutive years.
Seton Hall had been the favorite for Walker, earning a 100 percent mark on 247Sports’ Crystal Ball up until Monday’s announcement. Oklahoma and Cal among others had given him chase, but in the end, it’s Willard and the Pirates who’ve won out.
