And there is a good chance he will be playing for Scott Drew, the worst coach in the Big 12.

I don't think there's a good chance of that at all. Duke, UNC (possibly), and UK would be the three that I think he could end up. Time will tell.

Coach K impressed him quite a bit during his visit so he might end up there. If not, UK.
That's just my assumption

Would be awfully tough to turn down an invite to a school like Duke or UK.

Maybe NC, but I can't think of another school that would be more attractive.

All that And1 mixtape streetball type crap is nice but can he shoot a jumper? Or shoot free throws? Or play defense outside of blocking a few layups?

NC State. Been on his list the whole time, and his mom is a huge State fan.

He's a one-and-doner, so don't expect to see him in college for long.

My friend who's a huge UK fan keeps talking about how if Wall comes, insta-championships.

agreed, they will be preseason no. 1

rofl. UK is a joke.

A lineup of Patterson, Meeks, Cousins, and Wall? That would be absolutely sick.

The fact that anyone would want to sign with UK for one year? Laughable. The rest of UK's lineup is decent, but they don't have what it takes.

That's the truth. When one is the best at his current level, it's easier to look like a God against midrange players. It'll be interesting to see how he makes the transition to college ball. Obviously he's good, there's no doubting that .. and I'm sure he'll do well in college .. but will he be the same super star he was in high school? Who knows. I'd lean toward his doing very well, but it'll be nice to watch.

lets see him in college playing against kids closer to his skill level before declaring him a superstar in the making.

Why is everyone thinking college? If I had those skills I'd spend a year in Europe making bank before heading to the Association.

It's better to go to college and dominate there and have scouts grossly overproject you rather than play in Europe against the tougher competition and potentially have them expose your weakness before you had a chance to work on them.


Yeah John Wall is definitely sick, no way Duke is gonna get a chance at him, especially w/ the brand of basketball we play.

Wall to Kentucky (committed) and Patterson back. Throw in 5 star Cousins, 5 star Bledsoe, 5 star Orton, 4 star Jon Hood and 4 star Dodson. Darius Miller will excel in Coach Cal's system. Only waiting on Meeks (2nd team All American) to return now!!! :D

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


Not sure if you can see this but it sure is alot of stars! :D

Anyone else think Calipari has turned Kentucky around pretty quickly?

With the new arrivals (above) and nearly half of the top 10 for 2010 already interested in UK, not to mention the top player from that class as well as the top player from 2011 with UK at the top....I would say that part of your statement may not be 100% true (anymore).! ;)

He's good no doubt about that. But the defense in the OP video was laughable, nobody seemed to challenge him at the basket they just let him walk in and dunk on them.
