USA Today: John Wall not considering NBA
Posted Apr 16, 2009
Word of God’s John Wall isn’t planning to try to go directly to the NBA, according to USA Today. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound point guard has been heavily recruited by some of the nations premiere programs.
Wall currently holds offers from Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Memphis, Miami, N.C. State and Oregon. Florida and North Carolina have also showed increasing interest in recent weeks, but Wall does not have an official offer from either school. Wall turns 19-years-old this year, and because he is in his fifth year of high school, he might be eligible to apply for the NBA Draft.
