Junior guard Marquise Walker has transferred from Curie to West Aurora. The point guard is already enrolled at West Aurora according to several sources.

Walker was happy at Curie, but has been dealing with family issues for the past year. He’s found a more stable situation in Aurora.

Walker, a 2018 Sun-Times All-Area honorable mention selection, blasted onto the scene with a terrific freshman year at St. Joseph. He transferred to Curie for his junior year, which was a successful debut in the Public League. He helped lead the Condors to a win against top-ranked Orr and drained a game-winning three-pointer to lead Curie to the title game at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament.

Walker is playing with the Mac Irvin Fire in the EYBL during the AAU season.
