Demetrius Walker, a 6'3 guard out of AZ, and the #80 player in the country for 2009, has signed a LOI for ASU. Sounds like he will made an immediate impact because he does not have a ton of room left for growth. Could fill the void left by Harden's possible departure. August 2008 scouting report:

August, 2008: Walker doesn't have great upside, but there are few prospects in the country that play as hard as him. He has a chiseled physique and it's been like that since his freshman year. He is first and foremost a scorer and he can hurt the opposition in many ways. He's at his best in transition where he attacks the basket with reckless abandon - usually with a thunderous dunk. Although he has very good straight-ahead speed and a quick first step to the basket, he has limited lateral quickness. When defenders get into him that can match his strength he struggles getting to the basket. His jump shot has improved since last season, but it's still streaky. He gets great lift on his shot and he can stop on a dime, but most of the time it has a hard landing. He needs to hone his perimeter handle, particularly his left hand, and continue to smoothen out his jump shot to play at the highest level. Despite these drawbacks to his game, his effort level is unquestionable

Demetrius Walker and Lebron James ...

A few years ago Sports Illustrated called this guy the next Lebron James. I guess he didn’t quite end up as good as Lebron, but overall I feel good about the class. I especially feel good about Walker punking USC!

EftB:Did Herb Sendek just sign the next Lebron James?
