27th rated guard in the country
4-star according to 24/7
91st ranked player nationally
.944 composite ranking
113th composite ranking overall
LEST WE FORGET--I realize this was prior to the current ratings craze, but Walter Luckett was the top rated recruit in the nation, the National High School Player-of-the-Year following the 1971 high school season in which he AVERAGED a triple-double, posting these obscene digits--39.5 points, 16 rebounds and 13 assists per game as a 6-4 left-handed sweet-shooting guard! By the way, he was averaging 45 points per game prior to suffering a knee injury late in the season that he continued to play on. He underwent the "knife" following the season. I know Walter well and have spoken previously with numerous college coaches who recruited him and several of his high school friends. They contend pretty much to a man although Walter was a really good college player, an all-American college player, the baller they saw whose high school jersey is in the NBA Hall of Fame, sadly the explosiveness and lateral movement he had was lost in the operating room.
