John Wall: No leader now

Bookmark and Share

John Wall doesn't have a leader any more.

The 6-foot-4 Raleigh Word of God basketball point guard said Wednesday that Memphis is no longer the leader among the schools he was considering after coach John Calipari resigned to take the head coaching job at Kentucky.

"I just don't have a leader now," Wall said. "I have to see what is going to happen now."

Wall said Monday that Memphis was the leader among the schools that he was still considering — Memphis, Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Miami and N.C. State.

The top-ranked player in the country by rivals.com said he had not spoken with Calipari since the coaching change, but he did speak to Calipari on Tuesday.

Wall was emphatic that Kentucky was not his leader at this point.

"I don't have a leader right now," he said. 

He said he visited Kentucky unofficially last summer and was familiar with the program. As for Memphis, he said he hadn't ruled it out.

"I need to wait and see who it names as head coach," he said. 

He has no timetable to make his decision.

DeMarcus Cousins, one of the nation's top-ranked big men in the country, had committed to Memphis but has not officially signed. He is free to sign with any team.

Xavier Henry, the top-ranked shooting guard in the country, has signed with Memphis but told reporters at the McDonald's All-American Game in Miami that he had an agreement with Memphis that would allow him to switch schools.

Go to State

Play for a coach who knows the point position. Coach Lowe directed the Wolfpack to a national championship as a point guard (K never did this as a player).

The Pack faithful will embrace Wall even if it is for a year. State simply needs more big-time players. John Wall, be a hometown hero...play at State.

Wall keeping them dangling?

Since he's been dubbed a "one and gone" player, he might want to check to see who really wants a player for one year. Duke seems ready to bow and scrape to provide Wall a stepping stone to the pros, but it just doesn't seem to be a smart move for ANY college team. Egos sure paint a distorted picture.

One More Example

Just one more shining example of why the D1 college game is seriously broken.  And the list goes on....
