As the 2021-22 high school hoops season, Ja’Kobe Walter is a name that’s been said often in scouting circles in the Texas region. But with his latest honor, Ja’Kobe’s stock just rose on a national level.
The Class of 2023 star was selected on Wednesday to the 2021-22 Naismith Trophy Underclassmen Watchlist. He is one of just 25 players in the country to receive this distinction, putting him in line to potentially be named the best underclassmen in the country.
What an honor for @JaKobeWalter1 . Either way we are proud parents! We're enjoying the presence but also looking forward to his future. ? pic.twitter.com/AUdWeXSNay
