Without ever saying John Wall’s name, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports, University of Kentucky president Lee Todd acknowledged on Tuesday that one of the school’s basketball players faces questions about his amateurism that could affect his eligibility.

Adviser Brian Clifton, who heads the point guard's summer team, said the Word of God senior got a call last night from Carolina coach Roy Williams. But Clifton sounded more enthusiastic about Wall's recent visit to Carolina's rival, Duke.
