To summarize:
Jordan Walker is just under 6' and 150 pounds, but a 4-star PG who is a senior but was maybe gonna do a year at prep school and be a 2018 class.

Seton Hall and Cal the final schools.
Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria
2017 @patrickschool PG @ShiftyJordan will announce his college choice tomorrow at 3 pm.
Wow, we could have another by noon tomorrow. He lives in NJ.

Would he a huge signing and a great comeback for Coach Jones!!!

The kid is from Elizabeth, NJ. I'd be shocked if he doesn't choose Seton Hall.

Has NOT visited Cal. He's going to Seton Hall.

Yeah, looks like a long shot. What's the connection? On the surface I can't see one reason why he'd be interested in cal.

JORDAN WALKER
He's not gone yet, announcement in 2.5 hours.
But he does appear to be a strong lean for Seton Hall.
Thus, this is very likely to be much ado about nothing. But just so we can frustrate ourselves with another lost nibbler....
The Patrick School point guard is leaning Seton Hall's way heading into his college announcement this afternoon.
If they haven't already, Seton Hall basketball fans may want to read up on Jordan Walker, the Patrick School senior who is believed to be a strong Pirate lean heading into the announcement of his college choice today at 3 p.m.
Here are three quick things to know about him:
1. He's a pure point guard. After Walker tallied 15 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds and four steals in the Celtics' double-overtime win over Pace Academy (Ga.) in January's Hoophall Classic, Rivals.com called "quite possibly the best post-feeder in the nation" for his enabling of Kentucky-bound big man Nick Richards. Rivals ranks him No. 91 in the Class of 2017.
Seton Hall adds junior college 7-footer Romaro Gill
2. He's won a lot of big games. This past winter Walker averaged 11.9 points and 4.8 assists as the Celtics went 29-4 and won the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions. Over the past two seasons, they're 52-10 against a loaded schedule. Cal, Oklahoma and Georgia are among the other suitors.
3. A good comparison coming out of high school might be Jordan Theodore. Walker is slight, at 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds, but he has quickness, playmaking instincts and moxie that are hard to teach. Like Theodore, he would benefit from a platoon-style apprenticeship for a year or two before being fully ready to take the keys of a high-major offense.

No clue if he's got the grades or not, but isn't Logan Johnson someone Cal should be looking at? It's bad enough that the PAC-12 somehow let his bro Tyler go overlooked and play at Fresno State.

I wanted to beat BBinLA to this one...
Yehuda O'Reilly. Known locally as the Israeli Shillelagh
Father dominated the Isreali league, mother played in France. Grew up on the gritty streets of Dublin honing his streetballer and1 skills, yet attained 6'11" by age 17. Grandfather won a Nobel Peace Prize, Grandmother Nobel Chemistry laureate. 4.9 GPA, 2370 SAT, 15 AP classes with scores of 4 and 5. Parents are torn between Oxford and Harvard, but the kid is looking to play college Bball on the west coast.
I'd include a foto, but my Twitter is cracked.
