One of the top backcourt players in the class of 2017, Jonesboro (Ga.) guard M.J. Walker, is a new name to emerge on the Indiana recruiting radar this summer.
Walker, ranked the No. 23 player nationally according to the 247Composite, began hearing from Tom Crean in recent weeks. He’s also a member of USA Basketball’s U18 team that will compete in the FIBA Americas U18 championships later this month in Valdivia, Chile.
Inside the Hall talked at length with Walker in a one-on-one interview earlier this week about a variety of topics, including what he’s been hearing from Indiana’s head coach.
