Posted Dec 7, 2021
One of the top recruits in the 2023 class, Ja'Kobe Walter is in the process of balancing his high school season and his recruitment. He showed he's up to the task of that balancing act at last weekend's Thanksgiving Hoopfest where he showcased his two-way ability. He's a 6-foot-5 shooting guard at McKinney (TX) High who is ranked No. 16 nationally. (247 Sports)
