North Carolina-based senior point guard John Wall, the nation's top high school recruit, is expected to visit UM this weekend, though many believe he will end up at Kentucky with John Calipari.

This is the Hercules grunt if I have ever seen one.

Yes, victory shall be yours. The stones of Hector shall pass. But at what cost?

The 'rhoids shall bloom early my champion. The fresh waters of the mineral springs of Aethos, a diet of baby pears. These are your only relief.

I'm still laughing over this one!

If Miami lands John Wall then the Canes are in the NCAA tourney next season. They already got a good pickup in Durand Scott so adding Wall would be one heck of a freshman back court.

I was going to say the same thing Hova- Miami has really stepped up their recruiting on the basketball side. They were a dangerous team last year so if they get Wall they will make some noise

i doubt he goes to miami. i think he follows calipari to kentucky as well. i sure hope we don't have to play him in the acc. probably won't be around to give anyone in college much trouble anyhow. he's a classic one and done.

This is a courtesy visit. Miami has been recruiting him the longest right behind N.C. State. He can't seriously consider doing this. He has said numerous times recently in our Hometown paper of the News and Observer that he

1. Wants to play for a Championship

2. Doesn't want to be the "Go-To-Guy" on whichever college roster he lands on.

I'm looking for him to Commit to either Kentucky, Carolina (Can't Offer until Lawson or Ellington Declares), or Duke.

Well his mother and his AAU coach are his mentors. His AAU coach has said he won't support Wall going to Carolina. Carolina has a policy of not talking to AAU coaches/representatives. Wall has said he's waiting to see if Carolina shows more interest. Not sure what that means. But assuming Lawson goes pro, if he goes there they could repeat. Kansas is also on his list.

It's been reported that Duke is his leader right now, not sure that will change. He's just looking for a vacation down in Florida because he missed out on the McDonald's game.
