By CHARLIE PARENTJordan Walsh, the Class of 2022 top-10 prospect who is committed to Arkansas, continues to show why he’s one of the best players in the country at Geico Nationals on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-7 versatile forward had 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists in Link Academy’s 81-67 win over Oak Hill Academy.
Arkansas commit Jordan Walsh has been EXTREMELY impressive so far vs. Oak Hill. Has 9 early points for @LinkHoops.
Walsh is an excellent three level scorer who can jump out of the gym. A FREAK athlete.
Walsh is a part of a star-studded Arkansas class this year. He’ll be accompanied in Fayateville next season by top-10 guard Nick Smith, four-star guard Derrian Ford, four-star forward Barry Dunning, and four-star forward Joseph Pinion. All five players are top-100 recruits according to 247 Sports.
