Talking Sports And Fitness With Zeke

Reading High basketball star Lonnie Walker IV discusses his outstanding individual accomplishments with Zeke, which included being named a two-time Berks Player of the Year, first-team All-State, Gatorade Pennsylvania Player of the Year, becoming the first junior in more than 100 years at the school to score 1,000 career points, and his invitation to try out for the USA Basketball U18 team. Walker also shares with Zeke the experience of being heavily recruited by Villanova, Connecticut, Miami, Indiana, Oregon, UCLA, Penn State, West Virginia, Temple, SMU, Stanford and Harvard. Lonnie tells Zeke that his parents and his focus on academics and other interests help keep him centered amidst all the acclaim. His all-around skill set makes the 6-5 guard/forward so attractive to colleges. "A lot of kids get caught up in scoring only," Lonnie tells Zeke. "I like to do the dirty work, too." He focuses on the fundamentals. Academically Lonnie has his sights on the possibility of being a surgeon or an accountant. Wa
