Bill Walker, 6-6 SG/SF, North College Hill H.S., Cincinnati
(Ranked No. 5 in Class of '07)

Nicknamed "Skywalker" due to his penchant for highlight-reel-caliber dunks, Walker is Mayo's running mate both in high school and on the ABCD's 76ers squad. They teamed up to cruise through Wednesday and Thursday 4-0, with Mayo averaging 16.8 points and Walker 10.8. Walker is not actually 6-6 -- more like 6-3 or 6-4, by my estimation -- and there are question marks about his jumper, but he is an absurd leaper in the mold of current Arizona star Hassan Adams and is a tenacious perimeter defender with long arms. The North College Hill trio of Mayo, Walker and Keenen Ellis plans on attending college together -- but local recruiting power Ohio State appears to be fading off of their list after it landed its mammoth Class of '06. Mayo didn't list the Buckeyes as one of his possible destinations this week (instead, they are: Florida A&M, Syracuse, UConn, Louisville, Texas, Kentucky, UNC and West Virginia), and Walker said that after he saw Oden & Co. commit to OSU, "I put them down on my list. ... That's a great class, but I don't think they'll have any room left in '07."
