Here is an article from BleacherReport.com that offers some opinions on the John Wall recruiting saga. I do not agree with this article, but it is something to read on a quiet day. The author of this article feels that John Wall will narrow his list to Kentucky, North Carolina State and Florida. I personally see no way that he chooses Florida or NC State, but here are the reasons the author gives as to why he'll choose these three:
Reason in Wall choosing Kentucky.
It is his best fit. This is the team that will have the best players for him to be around. He will have John Calipari as a coach who has developed some great guards recently. He developed Derrick Rose in one season in NCAA, and was recently named this year's NBA Rookie of the Year. Last year Tyreke Evans improved enough to where he and NBA scouts think he is ready for the NBA. In my opinion that is a huge attraction for top rated guards. Also, if Wall goes to Kentucky he has a really good chance to win the SEC and also a good chance to make a run in March.
Reason in Wall choosing NC State.
Sidney Lowe. Lowe was the first one to offer Wall in high school. No other school was giving this kid any attention, but Lowe saw some potential in him. Wall's mother loves NC State and Sidney as well.
Plus, she wants her son to stay close to home too. John Wall also already has a relationship with NC State's team.
For the past couple of years he has played pick up games with players from NC State, which is a great thing for team chemistry, because he knows them all and how they play their game too. Lastly, he could have a "Kevin Durant" type impact on NC State (since he is probably going to enter the NBA after one season).
He would turn NC State's program around being an automatic fan favorite, since he is from Raleigh. He could be the player to start a foundation for future NC State players to build on, and who will try and make NC State a top program again.
Personally, this is where I want Wall to go...because I am a State fan. I could write on Wall and State all day, but I need to finish this article.
Reasons in Wall choosing Florida
Since Nick Calathes declared for the NBA draft, Billy Donovan has been recruiting Wall hard. He flew all the way up to Oregon to watch him play in a tournament. Donovan has shown that he really wants this kid, and Wall has shown Florida some interest.
Wall at Florida would be interesting, because they would probably compete with Kentucky next year for the SEC and possibly be a sleeper team in March.
