Kerwin Walton is one of the few uncommitted four-star talents left in the 2020 recruiting class. How would he fit at his six NCAA basketball finalists?

Many of the nation’s top prospects in the 2020 NCAA basketball recruiting class have already made their collegiate decisions for this coming campaign. Kerwin Walton is not among those, though, and he is thus one of the hottest names left uncommitted. He is currently ranked the No. 97 overall player in the class. The talented 6-foot-5 shooting guard out Hopkins, MN is highly-regarded as an elite perimeter shooter and has garnered plenty of attention from some of the top destination programs in the country.

Walton played on the Adidas circuit during this past summer and put together some tremendous performances while showing his long-range shooting ability. His recruiting ranking soared as a result of his play on the court and his offer list also grew to include many high-major programs. Walton has been taking his time with his recruitment since his breakout summer but recently cut his list to just six schools on March 31st.

Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Creighton, North Carolina, and Arizona are now the only programs left in the running to land his potential commitment.

Considering Walton’s playing style as a deadly 6-foot-5 shooter that can defend multiple positions, he can fit in just about any system. All six of the schools remaining on his list would be eager to potentially add the versatile talent and it will be interesting to see where he chooses to play. Each program can offer a little something different and there doesn’t appear to be a clear favorite at the moment.

Let’s dive a bit deeper into this list to see how Walton might fit at each of his finalists.
