Walsh & Donald
(St. Louis, MO) – Luke Walsh is heading to Southern Illinois and Sam Donald will play at Bellarmine. Their fathers, Kevin Walsh and Jeremy Donald tell us all about the recruiting process that helped their sons find their college basketball homes.
Walsh played for his father at St. Louis’ Saint John Vianney High School and Donald starred at Columbia High School just accross the Mississippi in Illinois.
During Part One of this interview we talked about their youth basketball backgrounds. While the two played mostly for rival club teams, they also played some tournaments together. Their fathers are good friends and highly involved in St. Louis’ youth basketball programs.
Both fathers speak glowingly about the relationship building done by the college coaching staffs where their sons signed.
NIL enhancements were not a significant part of either players’ college decision.
Here is part two of our interview of two parents of prep stars.
Walsh is the Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year and averaged over 32 points per game. Donald is a 2A all-State performer.
