The Red Storm, thought to have closed on the 2017 recruiting class over a month ago with the signing of center Zach Brown, is chasing Sunrise Christian Academy forward Derrick Walker, Jr.
Walker, a 6’8”, 220 pound power forward, is from the same Kansas City AAU team that Marvin Clark Jr. played on, Mokan Elite.
St. John’s has a number of weaknesses, but the interior play this year has appeared to be the most troubling. The team’s best rebounder is a wing and a pair of six-foot guards have looked like the best battlers for defensive rebounds.
