Interesting Article on John Wall

It's long but worth the read. One sentence jumped out at me:

His mother rented a car and made the nearly 500-mile trip from Raleigh to Lexington for every home game.

This is what infuriates me about the NCAA. Based on what I read in the article, I doubt that John Wall's mother could afford to rent a car for one trip to Lexington, much less 15 or so. It's common knowledge that she did this but the NCAA turns a blind eye.

Maybe John Wall's AAU coach paid for them using the money he was paid to be a coach at one of Cal's summer camps.

Kinda like the KU booster paid for trips to KU from OKC for the family of a player?

John Wall's recruitment struck me as one of the dirtiest in recent memory (ok maybe not as bad as OJ Mayo). If in a year or 2 we dont hear anything about him it will be surprising.

The funniest thing is John Wall made a visit to OU and almost committed to OSU.

Did I just hear that he had a 3.5 GPA at Kentucky?? That is some pretty impressive stuff.
