Roy Williams coy about John Wall pursuit
Posted Apr 24, 2009
The decision by Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington to leave UNC for the NBA frees up a scholarship for the Tar Heels next season. UNC coach Roy Williams, who has contacted Raleigh super recruit John Wall, didn't say if he would add another recruit to his star-studded five-man class. "We'll have to wait and see what happens with it," Williams said.
Williams can't mention a recruit by name, but his answer left the door open for another chapter in the three-ring circus that is Wall's recruitment
