The word on Wall


Posted September 27, 2008 by John Helsley Comment on this article Leave a comment

ESPN.com wrote a profile about North Carolina prep point guard John Wall today, with a sidebar about possible college destinations (read it here). Wall talks about Baylor (where Dwon Clifton, the brother of his AAU coach was recently hired), Memphis, Kansas and NC State.  Unless I’m missing something, there was no Oklahoma State reference.

Which, of course, isn’t exactly stunning. Shortly after Baylor hired Clifton this summer OSU signed point guard Ray Penn, a Texas guy whose stock skyrocketed over the summer. One would imagine OSU coaches promised Penn they wouldn’t recruit over him. 

That said, someone close to Wall told me last week that while Wall seems to really, really like Memphis, he may still take an official visit to Stillwater.
