In case you missed the story in Monday’s Charlotte Observer, mega recruit John Wall said John Calipari’s move from Memphis to Kentucky had a big effect on his recruitment. He’d demoted Memphis from the lead and added Kentucky to his list.
Here’s the story from the Charlotte Observer website:
University of North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams called top-ranked point guard John Wall on Thursday night, but Wall said the Tar Heels are not recruiting him.
“It wasn’t anything major,” Wall said. “He just called to check in, see how I was doing, what was going on. It’s nothing big.
“North Carolina is not recruiting me right now.”
Asked would he be interested in North Carolina if it began recruiting him, Wall said, “That’s something we’d just have to wait and see.”
Wall said earlier this week that Memphis was his leader, but that was before Coach John Calipari left for Kentucky. After Calipari’s exit, Wall said Memphis was no longer his leader and that he had added Kentucky to his list. He was emphatic that Kentucky was not his leader and that he has no leader anymore.
Also on his list are Duke, N.C. State, Baylor, Kansas, Memphis, Miami and Kentucky.
Friday, the Raleigh Word of God senior said he is still considering Memphis and is waiting to see who it names as head coach.
Wall is a 6-foot-4 point guard and the No. 1-ranked player in the country by rivals.com.
He has scheduled an official visit to Miami.

When should we expect to hear from coach Cal in regards to the current UK roster?
This is great. The waiting the speculation man it’s like Christmas. I hope we sign all the players available. Go Cats.
Saw his highlight reel on Rivals. Best guard I’ve seen since Allen Iverson and makes it look easy. With the front line Kentucky will have, they will have to play him 1 on 1 and they will pay.
i think that john wall will come to UK but he may not but i hope he does!!!!!!!
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
