Five-star SG Ja’Kobe Walter to visit Texas
One of the nation’s top prospects in the 2023 recruiting class is on campus this weekend to visit with Chris Beard and the Texas basketball program.
Five-star shooting guard Ja’Kobe Walter is one of Texas’ top targets from the high school level. 247Sports composite ranks Walter as the No. 2 player from the state of Texas and No. 23 overall player in the country.
Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports had high remarks about Walter in his scouting report.
Walter is a scorer with long arms who can knock down shots with range. He shoots a set shot but he is a consistent shooting threat from the three-point line. Walter is one of the consistently productive and fundamentally sound shooting guards in his class and a tighter handle could only assist him in firmly grasping that title. He does a good job on the defensive end with his ability to defend both wing positions given his size, length, and activity.
Texas landed two five-stars in the 2022 cycle in Dillon Mitchell and Arterio Morris. Beard hopes Walter will headline his 2023 recruiting class.
