Player Biography: John Wall's journey to Kentucky has not been typical of a consensus top recruit. As a fifth-year senior, some speculated he would jump to the NBA before even stepping foot on a college campus. Then his collegiate eligibility was questioned because his AAU coach was also an agent, though the NCAA eventually ruled on a two game suspension. Despite these uncertainties, there is no questioning Wall's basketball talent. As a freshman, Wall has been the best player on one of college basketball's best teams, averaging nearly 17 points and over 6 assists for a stacked Kentucky squad. Wall will be the top pick when he declares.
