Classic wing scorer Willie Walton (Lipscomb Academy) hears from Lee University and several other colleges. As exceptional as he is on the baseball field Walton describes basketball as "my first sport I loved." He made initial contact with a handful of D1 programs but labels those are very, very early contact.

(Clay County) is a wonderful college prospect with gaudy statistics. Strong hears consistently from Belmont, Davidson, Appalachian State, and UNC Greensboro. Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky are quite new to the pursuit. Those two programs expressed interest via contact from their head coaches, which always indicates an elevated level of interest.

(Pickett County) lists three schools as the most aggressive: Missouri Western, UMKC, UC Irvine. Amonett is hard-nosed, hyper-skilled point guard. Revered midwestern basketball scout Rick Bolus labeled Zach a D1 prospect during middle school and his keen eye was not wrong. Amonett does keep in touch with Lipscomb, Western Kentucky, Carson Newman (D2), Appalachian State, and Newberry College (D2). Further, Belmont and Samford are aware and reach out occasionally.
