John Wall: Still wide open

Bookmark and Share

John Wall of Raleigh Word of God, the top-ranked basketball prospect in the country, said Monday morning that he is still wide open in his recruitment.

Wall, a 6-foot-3 senior point guard, said Baylor, Memphis, Kansas, Kentucky, Oregon, N.C. State and Oklahoma State were the schools that were recruiting him the hardest, but that he was willing to talk to other schools if they were interested in him.

"I'm wide open," he said.

There had been speculation that Wall would commit to Baylor after it hired Dwon Clifton, his club team coach, as its new director of player development.

"Dwon and I never had that type of agreement," Wall said. "I was interested in Baylor before he went there.

"He told me that it would be great if I decide to go to Baylor, but that I needed to make the best decision I could for myself and that he was proud of me wherever I go."

Wall has not scheduled any of his official visits, but plans to start working on a schedule after playing in New York.
