One of the top in-state prospects, Marquise Walker, a sophomore at St. Joseph High School is already receiving Division I offers. He has looked up to several role models in his life but one of those role models has stuck with him ever since he started dribbling a basketball. Former NBA player and Kansas alumnus, Sherron Collins, has been working with Walker throughout his life and has made a significant impact on Walker’s game and lifestyle by training with him frequently and always being a close friend.
