Wall will progress more at UK.
I think he definitely will progress more to UK, too bad he's already secretly committed to Coach Calipari (UK) and will attend UK.
actually, its not "too bad"... its perfect.

Wall Choice
I believe that he will stay in-State and will choose either State, or Carolina, with the lean going to State, where he would be more of a true star. I don't think he wants the Dookie challenge.

john wall will pick n.c. he
john wall will pick n.c. he was just waiting for lawson to declare for the n.b.a.that was so obvious.

No he wont
He has already said that he will not attend North Carolina. This was in a press release on Tuesda this week. I like your optimism though. Carolina moves to #2 in ACC next year and gets swept by Duke. Have fun with your freshman next year. Hope they turn out better than experts anticipate oh and that offense could be a little hard to run with no point guard because Drew WILL NOT get the job done for you guys

Back up your talk, proof of
Back up your talk, proof of press release please.

I think someone needs to do some more reading
Although it’s unclear when he will decide (it has been reported he’s trying to find a loophole allowing him to go to the NBA next season because of his status as a five-year senior), but you can go ahead and cross one school off the list—UNC.
Wall stated that UNC isn’t in the picture for him last week, citing that Roy Williams had only spoken with him briefly and that nothing else had come of the Tar Heels’ interest.

he need to go to a winneing
he need to go to a winneing program, that win game with top recruit already in place. to [produce player to the N. B. A.)

Iam a big carolina fan and
Iam a big carolina fan and it doesn`t matter what happens because we have 5 titles and we are the greatest basketball program in history.No other school has put players in the NBA.I close my case.

do you have seven and a gold
do you have seven and a gold medal

no other school has put
no other school has put players in the nba?? you close your case?? wow you truly are a carolina fan. so what is the nba nothing but players from carolina??
Miami newspapers have been
Miami newspapers have been wasting a lot of ink too about Wall going there.

Youre all CRAZY
He doesnt want Kentucky, he wants to win. IF they could have landed Henry then I think he would have been a Wildcat. And WOW Patterson,Cousins, Meeks, Henry,and Wall!!! They would have been contenders for the title. But it did not happen. NOW Wall has another meeting with Coach K and being that Duke has the most Talent in the NBA right now, it shows this is the program that would best prepare him. And yes, they do have the most. 22 players on the opening day rosters is by FAR the most of any college. So now youre gonna have Mason Plumlee, Kyle Singer, Gerald Henderson, Jon Scheyer, and John Wall. These will be your National Champions Good luck to everyone though, because WHOEVER lands John Wall He WILL change the makeup of the team and he is good enough to make a bad team Good and a Good Team Great!!

John Wall
Don't forget he can make a great team national champions which is why he WILL go to DUKE because they have a great team and if Wall is only staying for a year the guys gonna want to win a national title.
Prediction: Duke BlueDevils 2010 National Champions

Couldnt Have Said it Better
Yes they do have a great team and he would make them virtually unstoppable. I could honestly see an undefeated season (not likely) or at least a 1 or 2 loss season. Not only will they win it in 2010 when he joins the team BUT we have a very good chance for a repeat when we get Thorton, Dawkins, and Hairston the next season. Being from Des Moines, i wouldnt mind Mr Harrison Barnes coming to Duke either. If they pull Wall and then get Barnes... Duke repeats as National Champs in 2010 & 2011

Amen and Amen!
Duke will be back on top for many years to come!!!! Sorry to all you haters out there.

Duke has more talent?
how many NBA championship rings do Duke alumni have? Look it up!!!

None of these, Wall is
None of these, Wall is likely headed to North Carolina.

wolfpack
you guys are mentally insane john wall is going to stay in raleigh and be with the pack. this poll you have sucks no one wants to go to kentucky they cant keep a head coach. john calipari at kentucky is not gonna work u watch and see

Don't stop b-leaving!!
You Carolina peepole have 2 b dee funneist peepole evar!!!! You relay think that you have a chaince to get John Wahl?? I mean, wait one cotton picken minoot!!! The man is goen to Kentucky. Calipurry could sell ice to a freeser, and more fat to your mothers. Amahgen, if you will... the best salesman, selling an untouchable product. A man so set on tthe success of himself and his program now having an actual program to work with and an army behind him that is more than just the students they round up and tell them that they can turn in their absurdly irrelevant term paper that will earn them a degree no better than that from McDonald's manager university ....a whole day late, if the come sit on the front row of a basketball game..... what nerd wouldn't cheer loud after that promise??? All ignorance aside... Seriously, UNC... I think that playing second fiddle to UK for so long as really damaged your views on reality. If Tyler Hansborough is the greatest college player of all time... I guess it may be worth the trip to his local YMCA next year or two, check him out in the men's league and maybe get his autograph on a Wendy's napkin, put it in my glove box just in case I ever shart. Seriously... UNC accepts mentally challenged students now.... and lets them play basketball?? If I could make one request... UNC fans.. please sit in front of your computer with webcams running the day John announces his school choice, well in fact due that every game this season, The look of a tarheel fans face after a loss is a priceless work of art... one that I will cherish and make a heirloom amongst my family... hell this may itself make it into the basketball hall of fame..... This has been the smack master.... laying it down, and serving it cold.

who is the 09 ncaa
who is the 09 ncaa champion......oh that right..unc nuff said

WOW
Thats a really interesting fact!!! Guess what Kansas won it 2008!! Can you believe that!!! I know I know nuff said!! haha What does your uneducated a$$ think that saying Carolina won in 09 tells anyone?? Yes they were the BEST team in the country last year obviously. NONE of this conversation has been about that. Everyone else speaking on this blog has been talking about the future of programs, not the past. Please let the grown folks speak and get back to your kiddy table with the plastic cups and lids. Ignorance is bliss right?? You are tranquil then!!

Playing second fiddle?
Carolina OWNS Kentucky and if it wasn't for the mystery victories the Wildcats "found" in the mid-90s, UNC would be the all-time leader in wins.
"the look of a tarheel fans face after a loss is a priceless work of art."
Guess you didn't see too much of THAT this past season.

I hope all Kentucky fans aren't as stupid.....
I think UNC played second fiddle to Kentucky between 1951 and 1956.
Since the field was expanded to include at large bids UNC has won more
titles (4) than any other school. Kentucky, Duke and Indiana have 3 each. UNC also has beaten Kentucky more times head to head. 21 out of 31 games. Including the last 5 meetings. When UK gets there ass out of the NIT and back in the big dance you can start smack talking again. Until then, shut the f--k up!

IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE Wall or not
Really whats with all the kiddy stuff, he's going to my school, this & that. Shawn your clueless & just blowing crap out of your mouth, Henderson is leaving dookie & another thing, I don't care if wall goes to dookie, you ain't gonna see a title for a long time. Wall is not the best player in HS, it takes a team to win a national title muchless to make to the final four. UNC did 2 yrs in a row & won this year.
It would be the wisest thing WALL ever did to become a tarheel. The best program in the USA day in & day out. 76 unc players are in the NBA as of today & um how many has duke produced, not more than 30 peeps.
UNC has a hell of a rep & it would be in his best interest to go to UNC, weather he goes to UNC or not, they will still have an awesome team the next 4 yrs & will continue to build, cause only the best goes to UNC yr after yr..
nuff said fligga..

What????
Heet,
How many players does unc have in the NBA? Because my count is 10, Carter, Jameson, McCants, Felton, Wallace, Wright, Haywood, Williams, Stackhouse, and May. And Duke has 12, Dunleavy, Boozer, Jones, Deng, Brand, Duhon, Hill, Reddick, Nelson, Williams, McRoberts, and Maggette. Now combined they have 22, which is considerably lower than 76. Just an observation. But they both fail in comparison to UCLA who has the most current and past NBA players. But I won't list all of those because I think you might be getting the point.

You forgot
Shane Battier and Demarcus Nelson

You are Correct
You said Nelson my apologies

Sorry 14 still more than you :) Read the facts chump
I’m of the opinion that the real measure of success in this regard should be how many players are afforded the opportunity to continue their basketball careers professionally. In this case, Duke is the clear winner. According to RPIRankings.com, Duke led all schools with 14 players on opening day NBA rosters for the 2008-2009 NBA season.
The article also notes that the ACC leads all conferences with 58 players on opening day rosters (out of 438 total NBA players).
While making it to the NBA is certainly an accomplishment, the fact remains that in and of itself it is not a compelling enough reason to select a school. At the end of the day, the higher you are drafted, the more money you make up front, and the greater your long-term earning potential is professionally.
Since the NBA draft lottery began in 1985, Duke has produced 14 NBA draft lottery picks under coach Mike Krzyzewski—more than any other coach. In total, Coach K has produced 39 NBA draft picks, 27 of them taken in the first round.

Mr Shawn Cook,There is a
Mr Shawn Cook,There is a thin line between love & hate.I see you put alot of energy with your dislike of the greatest program in history.1985!!!!!!!!So thats the year Duke started putting players in the NBA.UNC had already made the NBA richer by then.We go back alot further than 1985 Mr Cook. Ha! Ha!

blue devils
if hendo comes and john wall goes to duke this is what there line up would look like
pg wall
sg scheyer
sf henderson
pf kyle singler
c mason plumlee
bench
elliot williams
brian zoubek
lance thomas
ryan kelly
miles plumlee
nolan smith
olek cyzk
yeah im pretty sure thats the most talented team in the ncaa no never mind ever. Duke is going back to back to back watch out heels yall are screwed

And if Henderson goes pro,
And if Henderson goes pro, which he will, and Wall goes elsewhere.
Williams
Scheyer
Thomas
Singler
Plumlee
is good for a 1st round tourney exit

So lets say Duke DOES get Wall :)
Then we have a WHOLE different team dont we.... Because rather than using one of our 2 McDonalds All Americans in Smith or Williams We use Wall SO the starting line up looks a little intimidating and is Preseaon ranked 2nd (if G was still around, easily first)
(SG Elliott William/Nolan Smith in small line up)
PG 6'4 John Wall
SG 6'5 Jon Scheyer
SF 6'8 Kyle Singler
PF 6'11 Mason Plumlee
(PF/C Ryan Kelly,Lance Thomas,Z in bigger line up)
Thats BY FAR the most experienced line up in the elites of basketball next year and Kelly and Plumlee's stock just keeps on rising from their tourneys Both averaging over 10 points and 6+ rebounds a game and this is in 30 minute games where point guards do all the shooting Next year will tell Carolina where they stand then with all your one and doners 2010 will be a Duke cake walk when we load up with Seth Curry, Josh Hairston, Andre Dawkins, Tyler Thorton and Harrison Barnes haha good luck stopping that team!!
BY FAR?
2 freshman, a sophomore (williams would start over smith), a junior, and a senior is not terribly experienced

Dook fans are so cute....
EVEN IF, Wall lands at Duke, what else do the Blue Devils have that make them National Title contenders? Scheyer nor Singler can defend their position and neither have an inside game. Carolina will dominate Duke on the boards, unless you REALLY BELIEVE Plumlee (and I've seen his bloodline, don't get your hopes up) is going to be able to handle Carolina big men by himself. Plus, the Dookies haven't proven that they can handle Roy William's up and down tempo. If he beat Duke in Cameron WITH Bobby Frasor at the point, I'm sure he can beat this team with Larry Drew.
BUT, just for giggles, if Wall was so set on Duke, why haven't he decided yet?

dookies
as a die hard carolina fan it does my heart such joy to hear dook fans try to bolster their spirits up by what might happen rather than admit that their program is sadley(for them)failing... and the best players continue to want to go to nc because they know it is their best chance for a championship and fame.....nuff said

Iam going to say this one
Iam going to say this one more time.It doesn`t matter who comes to UNC.We are the greatest program in history.No other school can match our talent.Please name a school.

Everyone on this blog thats
Everyone on this blog thats hating on UNC,I got one question.There are hundreds of schools out there.Why is everyone got UNC on there mind.We are a dynasty.I don`t care if we win a championship next year or lose alot of games.Why is this so important to your life?Why do you put so much energy in your predictions?Is all of this putting money in your pocket?We are just fans so whats the fu..... big deal.If UNC is on your mind that much,you can come be a fan of GREATEST.
I am a Tar Heel...
...but I know that John Wall won't be coming to Chapel Hill. And for no other reason that HC Williams won't take players that have handlers. Williams almost stopped coaching in the `90's because of this trend, and when he decides to stick with it, he said he would never deal with players that bring people along with them.
I do not know where Wall will go, but for me this is a "lease for a year" type of thing more than anything else. I can understand that for a team JW will do a lot, but that team won't be North Carolina unless he commits himself to ridding of Clifton and going to class.
Personally I will be glad when the circus that is Wall's recruitment is over and we can move on from it.

WALL TO KENTUCKY SCREW U
WALL TO KENTUCKY SCREW U HEELS AND DOOKIES WALL TO KENTUCKY KENTUCKY TO ELITE 8 OR FINAL 4 THIS POLE IS VERY ACCURATE

I BET THIS IS JUST SOME KID
I BET THIS IS JUST SOME KID THAT DOESNT EVEN LIVE IN KENTUCKY HIS DAD CAME FROM KENTUCKY AND HIS DAD JUST WANTS JOHN WALL

look at all of you
im a kentucky guy but i know my guy's have had a down few years but things are changing at uk but it may take a few years but you all are crazy duke is not going to win it next year kanas will be the favorit and NC will be in the nit next year no matter where wall goes and why is NC in this thread wall said no for good reason to his home town

UNC
I love UNC, but all Carolina fans need to forget about John Wall. Not only does he have Clifton behind him(Williams hates this), they havent spoken much, but biggest of all is this arrest against him now. Although breaking and entering isn't really a big deal, Williams wont put up with this. J.R. Smith had a Scholarship to NC in 05 and got in trouble and it got taken away. Dookies, i hope yall get him bc maybe yall be a challenge. Besides, its not your outside game that is hurting, its the inside. You have....Zubeck...i love when he comes out on the floor bc that means domination...Lance T...who wasnt to bad i guess...and a freshman...congrats...when NC has best forwards in the nation. KY, yall have so many problems that it will be a bit before yall turn around.
NIT!?!? u kidding me right? UNC yet again has some of the best forwards in the nation. And i dont think Drew will start. McDonald(freshman) is said to be able to play point as well as sg so he might earn it, but even if drew does start, he isnt bad. He doesnt make plays but he has good court vision. So go UNC and screw Duke
And the Winner Is....
And the Winner Is.... Kentucky.
About time he made a decision.



Looks like the UK fans have
