01/24/04: "Like many in the Class of 2005, schools are likely waiting for Walker to play his way into an offer. High-majors are continuing to evaluate him. Likely a combo guard on the college level, he appears more comfortable in the role of scoring guard though he says he favors being a point. On Friday, he had one assist as we counted four chances that could have been finished for him. Walker will take a series of unofficial visits in the coming weeks. He’s going to Oklahoma State 'soon' and Marquette in 'mid-February'. He’s been to the local schools and the next time Kansas State has a weekend game at home he’ll be there." - theInsidersHoops.com
