Here is what MaxPreps had to say:

"Walker is the consensus No. 1 in the Class of 2017, and for good reason. She has the complete package - size, skill, athleticism - and is a competitor as well. The only thing that's missing is a consistent stroke from 3-point distance, but remember, Maya Moore didn't have that shot coming out of high school either."

Andra Espinoza-Hunter, a 5-foot-10 guard from Ossining High School has been named to the third team.

Here is what MaxPreps had to say:

"Espinoza-Hunter transferred from New Jersey's Blair Academy for her senior year, and she will bring her all-around game to Ossining. She won't dazzle onlookers with fancy moves or long-range 3-point shooting, but she understands the game and uses her size, skill and underrated athleticism to get the job done."
