Prized Florida recruit Chris Walker hasn’t qualified to play college ball and his situation remains in limbo, according to reports.
The 6-foot-10 Walker will not enroll in summer classes this week, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Star point guard Kasey Hill of Montverde (FL) Academy, by contrast, is enrolled in summer school and began his orientation this week, the Sentinel said.
“Everything has to go through the NCAA Clearinghouse,” Florida assistant Matt McCall said during a conference call among SEC men’s basketball coaches. “We should have more information later this summer, but right now he’s continuing to work. The one thing I will say about Chris is he’s committed to the process and he has really done an unbelievable job.
“We should know something more later on this summer.”
Walker is the No. 1-ranked center in the Class of 2013 and is considered a future NBA prospect.
He was expected to join a frontcourt that included Patric Young, Will Yeguete and Casey Prather, and will add transfers Dorian Finney-Smith (Virginia Tech) and Damontre Harris (South Carolina).
He committed last July and promised Florida would win a national championship.
