Interest growing for class of 2017 wing Lonnie Walker

One of the breakout players from this spring’s Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) has become a recruiting target for Indiana.

Class of 2017 Reading (Pa.) guard Lonnie Walker, who plays with Hoosier targets Lamar Stevens and Tony Carr on Team Final, averaged 13.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists this spring and received an offer from the Hoosiers on May 21.

Last weekend in Minneapolis, Walker had 30 points on 11-of-17 shooting as Final fell to CP3, 96-87.

At 6-foot-5 and 180 pounds, Walker has the ability to score from both the perimeter and while attacking the rim, which makes him a difficult cover.
