The recruiting buzz continues to build around Reading junior guard Lonnie Walker.

Walker (6-foot-5, 180 pounds) said he was visited by Southern Methodist coach Larry Brown last week, and expects a visit from Syracuse this week.

Walker, who will lead team Raw Sports in the semifinals of the Donofrio Classic at 8:30 tonight, said the Orange have yet to offer, but they are on his list of favorites along with Villanova, Miami, Oregon and SMU.

And the meeting with Brown, the former Philadelphia 76ers head coach, helped put the Mustangs firmly on Walker's radar.

"It was great," Walker said of the meeting. "He was one of the most down-to-earth coaches that I've gotten to meet. Certain coaches don't know how to approach players, but he laid it out for me. He told me I'd be going there to become a better person.

"It wasn't all about going to the NBA."


Walker averaged 16.9 points per game last season, and earned All-State honors. ESPN ranks him as the 23rd best player in the Class of 2017.
