Walker is a 5-foot-9 point guard from Arsenal Tech in Indianapolis, the same program that produced current Kentucky freshman Trey Lyles. He won a state championship this season. He played his AAU ball for Speice Indy Heat. He picked Purdue over Butler, Cincinnati and a couple of other schools in the midwest.
Walker is Purdue’s first commitment in the Class of 2016.
