  • Chris Walker Will Visit Florida State, Not Kansas

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Chris Walker will visit Florida State Thursday for the Duke game, and won’t be at Kansas this weekend, he told SNY.tv.

    “Florida State tomorrow,” he said by text.

    The 6-foot-9 Walker is the Rivals No. 2 power forward in the Class of 2013 and recently listed Kansas in his top three, along with UConn and Florida.

    “They’re recruiting me hard and say I can come in and start and be an instant impact,” Walker told Five-Star Basketball in December in reference to Kansas.  “They’re recruiting me for the three and four.”

    After visiting campus in October, Walker has watched a few Kansas games on TV.

    “I could help them on defense and help them score a lot and do [well] on the pick-and-rolls.”

    Kansas hosts Missouri Saturday and is set to host Shabazz Muhammad, JaKarr Sampson, Perry Ellis, Conner Frankamp and Brannen Greene.

    Ellis, Frankamp and Greene have all committed.

    The 6-foot-6 Muhammad begins play with Bishop Gorman in the Nevada state tournament Thursday.

    He is considering UCLA, UNLV, Duke, Kansas, Arizona and Kentucky, but wants to win a state title after his team was upset last year in the semifinals.

    “This would be icing on the cake, winning the state title,” Muhammad told the Las Vegas Sun.
