With all the hype surrounding Wall I find myself sucked right in and anxiously awaiting his debut.

I'm offended that UK didn't have a representative on the 3rd team.

Nice to see my boy Willie on the 1st team. I think he's going to explode this year...

He was in a perfect situation last year with both of the Griffins on his squad. It'll be exciting to watch him be THE MAN this season.

I feel like a lot of these players have been around for 10 years.

You never know how a true Freshman will react to the college game. I am like everyone else and cannot wait to find out with Mr. Wall.

No pressure, John.:lol:

There is a lot of outside pressure from UK fans on John Wall, but I honestly believe he is the type of player that will overcome it because he is simply not affected by it. Now I could be wrong, I mean the kid hasn't even played 1 game yet, but the way he acts and seems just leads me to believe that.
