Those seeking a quick resolution to the questions surrounding John Wall’s eligibility won’t find any answers today. Just a lot of Internet chatter.
The mess – Wall’s former AAU coach, Brian Clifton, was once a licensed sports agent and the NCAA has questions about that relationship – will probably end up being less than a mess. More like a hiccup. Wall could miss a few games.
And it won’t loom over Kentucky’s head all season. There’s already a report from FOXSports’s Jeff Goodman that Wall will be cleared before the Wildcats’ opener against Morehead State on Nov. 13.
Still, because it involved the nation’s top recruit, Kentucky and new coach John Calipari, message boards and Twitter went a little nuts. Like here, here and here.
John Clay has a Twitter sampling here. Most of that focuses on Calipari, even though this would’ve been an issue even if Billy Gillispie was still Kentucky’s coach.
Kentucky fans here don’t seem overly concerned. Can’t blame ‘em. Once this gets resolved it’s just gonna be a blip on what promises to be a huge season for the ‘Cats.
