Bradley lands a guard- Walter Lemon from Julian HS

[tornado]

Walter Lemon of Chicago Julian

many who have been talking behind the scenes knew of this talented kid, but now he's verballed to Bradley --
he is a great shooter, scorer...

Lemon was at a BU game earlier and is a decent kid - probably in some respects comparable to Diodie Dunson..can do it all, strong, and a decent rebounder..

In Julian's final game of the state playoffs...Walter scored 23 ...and I think he 29 in their previous game


Who says coach les can't recruit Chicago kids??

Is he a hs senior or a JUCO?

Congrats Walter, I have heard good things about him and his shooting abilities. 6'2 this is not going though to go over real well with the big man masses.

Regardless welcome to BU Walter.

Walter Lemon is one of the most underrated players to come out of Chicago in a while. He's a very talented PG/SG who played this season for Loren Jackson at Chicago Julian HS. He played at Chicago Fenger HS last year.

This kid will surprise Bradley fans with his athleticism and talent.

Walter Lemon was at the Wichita State game, and I had a chance to talk briefly with him. He was very impressed with the Bradley facilities and the crowd. Thanks to Eric Buescher, who had a lot to do with landing Walter Lemon.

Yes, welcome to BU Walter....


Now scour that Chi-town area for a under the radar talent at the 5...


6'9" 265....I'm not being too picky am I?

I like the way you think on this one!

Walter was loyal to Julian head coach Loren Jackson...and played during the AAU season with Jackson's AAU team, he remained under the radar..
but they played tough opponents and Walter consistently put up big numbers...

I found some video on this kid a few days ago. Looks pretty good (though there was dunk he couldn't get to go and tin-cupped it a little going after it again and again)... Kinda reminds me of Josh Young which would be just
fine with me.

Welcome Walter!
