Wall to visit N.C. Central

Bookmark and Share

The recruitment of John Wall, the top high school basketball point guard recruit in the country, took another twist Thursday when Wall planned an unofficial visit to N.C. Central.

Wall has known and worked with new Eagles coach LeVelle Moton for years. Wall plans to visit the Durham campus on Friday.

"I want to find out what a historically black school has to offer," Wall said Thursday night. "This is a visit to find out some things."

Wall had planned to trim his list of eight schools to three or four by Friday, but, "truthfully, it looks like it is going to be Monday now," Wall said.

Wall currently has N.C. State, Baylor, Kentucky, Miami, Duke, Kansas, Memphis and Florida on his list. He said there are no leaders, not any group of leaders.

He said internet reports that he had cut his list to Kentucky, Miami, Duke and Florida were erroneous.

"I have not told anyone a group of leaders," he said. "In my mind, the schools are even."

Visiting NCCU?

That's a laugher and building can't hold the name down to give you enough paper on the attendence. That's real funny. I would look at how NC State can't sell out RBC either. UNC always sold out. KY is just KY until you die. That visit to NCCU is a joke. You must really have poor grades for Division I Basketball. Must some chest on somebody nuts somewhere? Swindlers!!!!!!

Not with a ten foot pole.

Is this kid for real? He strikes me as basketball's version of Manny Ramirez-an amazing talent with a live in the moment, carefree (careless?) attitude.

I am sure he will do wonders on the court for whomever he ends up with. But they better be ready to deal with the inevitable baggage and distractions that come with him. I wouldn't touch him.

More like Paris, not Manny

The lack of comments on this topic tells me that most of us have lost interest in poor, undecided John. Like Paris Hilton, he still shows up in the news, but nobody cares. I see this as a positive development.
