Remember Brandon Walker?

Brandon Walker came out of Bishop O'Dowd a while back and headed to Loyola Marymount on a hoops scholarship. A change in head coaches ended that run but he landed on his feet elsewhere and is doing quite well.

Here is the summary of Brandon's junior season with the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves:
