May 9, 200917 yr Talked this afternoon with a college basketball coach who is plugged into the national recruiting scene. This guy is not recruiting North Carolina high school guard John Wall, but he's very aware of all the schools that are. And his opinion was that Duke has opened a small lead in the recruitment of Wall. And let me emphasize the word small. http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/bozich/2009/05/duke-new-leader-with-wall.html
May 9, 200917 yr Clifton is trying to push Wall to Duke because he feels it gives him the best chance to keep all possible agent candidates away from him so he can lock up Wall for himself. I guess a case of a handler trying to handle.
May 9, 200917 yr Every person I have talked to said the chances of Duke getting him are very slim, but that Miami has a potential chance. Everyone seems to agree that they're all battling behind Kentucky.

May 9, 200917 yr I would love for UK to get Wall but I do not believe UK is starving for him as long as Bledsoe gets in and assuming Meeks is back. There appears to be some luggage that comes with him and I stand by that even if he does end up in Lexington.
May 9, 200917 yr I like Bozich, but he is also the same guy that disspelled the Patterson rumors last night by saying that he would be a top 20 pick and there's no way he would withdraw this early. That worked out well for him.
May 9, 200917 yr Bozich has changed his tune: Another source, another twist in the recruiting of the Next Derrick Rose. Word I got later tonight is that UK is optimistic about getting a commitment from John Wall next week. And when scholarships need to come open, these are the names I'm hearing that won't be back next season: A.J. Stewart DeAndre Liggins Matt Pilgrim. Stay tuned.
May 9, 200917 yr I believe I have said all along, Wall will end up at Duke. As much as I want him at Kentucky, I dont think it will happen.

None of that surprises me except Pilgrim. Especially with the hype built around him elsewhere.

As good as Patterson. I won't believe that until I see it. Wall will be at UK imo. Duke's system does nothing for him. He needs to review K's sucesss with NBA PG's. He also needs to tell free-loader Clifton to take a hike.
May 9, 200917 yr I believe I have said all along, Wall will end up at Duke. As much as I want him at Kentucky, I dont think it will happen. I believe you are wrong. I think he's a future Wildcat.
May 9, 200917 yr Nope... I don't think he is a stud, but I don't think he is a pushover. Better than Stevenson and Stewart? Yes. But Patterson material, night in and night out? Probably not.
May 9, 200917 yr I don't think he is a stud, but I don't think he is a pushover. Did I say otherwise???
