He probably should but recent history shows that Indiana likes to give it to people who stay in state. a few years are an exception however.

I'm mainly refering to 2005 when luke zeller won the award

good sweet lord, i mean I know this is no surprise

but GODDAMN John Wall is fucking nasty. that last video is pretty epic.

And now I've got my hopes back up about Wall.

1/28/2009 12:02:25 PM

yeah, he's a baller

that video is nasty

1/28/2009 12:10:13 PM

God I hope Wall isn't just teasing us.....

1/28/2009 12:31:03 PM

Yeah I remember Ben in #16, he was right in front of me, he yells 'AND ONE!!!!!!' all pumped up and then proceeded to miss the extra point

I facepalmed, but overall he's playing much better

back on the subject, at least wall's still attending games and actually got to see a good one

I know its always Wait Til Next Year with Wolfpack Basketball, but damn... you gotta be excited about the incoming freshmen... Especially if we could add Wall/Cousins to the mix.

Wall was at the Carolina game yesterday. When are you students gonna realize who he is and get a chant going for him during a timeout or something?

2/1/2009 9:12:21 AM

are you serious? you want me to start a cheer for some high school kid in the middle of a state/carolina game?

if he walked out to the middle of the court and signed his LOI, I would do it. otherwise, there are more important matters to pay attention to.

From Rivals:

Quote :

" What are the odds of Memphis landing DeMarcus Cousins, John Wall AND Latavious Williams? -- Sam from Germantown, Tenn. ----- Scarily enough, the odds aren't that bad. Playing time at Memphis could factor into John Wall's decision. With four prospects already signed, Memphis would have to do some serious juggling with the roster and the scholarship situation to add three more players. But I have a strong feeling that coach John Calipari can figure out a way to fit in three five-star prospect, two of which are elite prospects. There are also some concrete contingencies for each of these three to end up at Memphis. For Williams, the No. 1 hurdle is qualifying academically. Memphis is his favorite at the present time, so if he qualifies the odds are strong that he ends up in Memphis. Baylor is the other school high on Williams' list. For Cousins, the key is that Mike Davis doesn't land another college coaching job. If Davis lands another job, Cousins will follow. If Davis stays at UAB, Memphis needs to hold off North Carolina State and Kansas State in particular to land Cousins. For Wall, the prerequisite for Memphis is that Tyreke Evans enters the 2009 NBA draft. If Evans sticks around for another year, it is highly doubtful that Wall would go to Memphis. Both prospects need the ball in their hands, and with the other options available to Wall it is hard to see him choosing Memphis if Evans is still there. And even if Evans does enter the draft, Wall to Memphis is certainly no sure thing. So a lot would have to happen or not happen for Memphis to land a monster seven-man class, but it is certainly a possibility. The addition of one or two more players, however, is a lot stronger possibility. "

How the hell can Memphis even "juggle the roster" when they are already at full right now? That's gotta be a joke. If by juggle, he means force transfers or force tutors to stop helping his own kids make grades, then maybe.

2/1/2009 10:09:49 AM

a small wall chant during a timeout/halftime wouldn't be bad. its all good though, chants are probably a non-factor to him at this point since he has heard it all.

i really think we get Wall. Cousins, not so sure about.

But can you just imagine an incoming class of Wall (5-Star, Some peoples #1 player), Cousins (5-star McD's AllAmerican), Scott Wood (3star sharp shooter), Richard Howell (4star big man/college ready size), and Lorenzo Brown (4star, possible McD's AllAmerican, scorer)?

Fab Five all over again. Throw in a little Cj Williams, Tracy Smith, Johnny Thomas and Julius Mays.

2/1/2009 10:27:16 AM

Were you the person who started the Chris Wright chant during a football game a few years ago?

2/1/2009 2:07:33 PM

Pretty sure he wont be coming here.

2/1/2009 3:34:09 PM

5* PF Luke Cothron took in the UNC game. He looks like a grown ass man, not a high school junior. I know he's originally from Alabama, but he currently attends Flora MacDonald Academy in Red Springs, NC.

Power forward
Red Springs (NC) Flora Macdonald Academy
AAU: Southeast Elite
Ht: 6-foot-8
Wt: 210 lbs
Class: 2010

Rivals - ***** - #17 overall nationally - #7 PF
Scout - **** - #16 PF

Schools Interested (known offers in italics)
Connecticut
Alabama
Arkansas
Virginia Tech
Auburn
UAB
Florida State
Wake Forest
Georgia Tech
LSU
Memphis
Mississippi State
N.C. State
Oklahoma






I really would like to get another big man in the 2010 class, b/c I don't think we take another in the 2009 class if Cousins goes elsewhere. I would love to get Melvin Tabb, since his mother is an alum.

2/2/2009 6:57:02 PM

then all we'd need is the Fresh Prince!

Quote :

" "NC State is recruiting me hard," said Cothron. "I like coach Lowe a lot. I had a chance to talk with him for about 30 minutes after their game when I was up there this weekend. He was telling me that they need some some big men to come in and help them win games. He said if I went there I could have a chance to play a lot and fill the shoes of the guys they have that are leaving." What did Cothron like most about his unofficial visit? "I liked the fans," he said. "They were crazy. It was a good game, and I don't think there was a seat left empty in the RBC Center. That was a tight game. "I really liked the RBC Center. It was big and really nice. I would love to play in a place like that when I go to college, but I've just got to look at all of my options first." "

2/3/2009 4:40:28 PM

Cousins trimmed his list. Memphis, K-State, NC State, Washington, and Rice, the surprise program, made his final 5.

2/3/2009 4:41:35 PM

When did Flora McDonald Academy become a basketball school? I have run across their name a few times recently when reading about recruits.

Back when I played bball for a tiny christian school in fayetteville, we weren't very good and we beat the piss out of flora mcdonald.

2/3/2009 4:59:22 PM

Does anyone know what the hell this rumor is all about regarding Javi not playing in games, but playing better than everyone else in practice?


I mean I don't give a flying fuck if he doesn't play in games, I'm just wondering if anyone knows the reason (grades, transfer, chokes balls under pressure, etc)

2/3/2009 6:06:19 PM

I kind of wish we'd redshirt Javi. I think he'd benefit a lot from a redshirt year.

Even if he gets 5 years, he will never be ACC material.

Just let him go to DII so he can start and we get our scholly back.

2/3/2009 6:33:16 PM

yes, i could have sworn i heard sid say something like this in his post game interview tonight, that javi brought the most intensity to practice of the PGs

2/3/2009 9:47:58 PM

^^^Javi played significant minutes tonight. I'm not sure why he hasn't been playing in other games.

2/3/2009 9:51:19 PM

Someone said that Degand tweaked his knee in the game but should be fine for the next game against VT. Basically there was no need to leave him in and force him to play through pain, despite it not being a major injury.

2/3/2009 9:54:38 PM

i have heard some rumors about Javi but i am not going to post them b/c i just dont think its true

2/4/2009 9:51:47 AM

^ dude, whats up with a tease like that... I have info... but not sure I should show my cards...do you want us to beg or something?

2/4/2009 10:00:58 AM

useful post, gunzz.

2/4/2009 10:07:08 AM

why don't you post the rumor, and put a caveat that you just don't think it's true.

"do you want us to beg or something?"

no. i dont want any of you to beg for anything ... most of you like (except Callip) to diss all my posts about recruiting and how i repost things from PP so whats the point if i post it or not. Since everything i post apparently comes from PP then why dont you try to go find it yourselves.

plus, the rumors are silly and not worth discussing. i have rumors on the entire team from a gigantic email that came from one of the team's managers and guess what, im not posting any of that shit either.

there is no point in posting these stupid rumors so why perpetuate them?

2/4/2009 11:05:29 AM

FWIW, although i've heard a lot of the things you post here before gunzz, i still appreciate you posting anything you have here. sometimes you throw something my way i haven't got the time to see on PP or i haven't heard from anyone that tells me things, or haven't been able to dig up.

2/4/2009 11:06:14 AM

Well I can't access PP from work, so I appreciate it during the weekdays from 8-4 when someone posts things from PP.

2/4/2009 11:08:40 AM

There are only a few vocal tools who give you shit about reposting from PP. The rest of us are either neutral or like hearing the tidbits... even if half of them are bullshit. It's good fodder in a thread that otherwise may as well be closed until April.

2/4/2009 12:09:50 PM

Wall was at the UNC game and went back into the locker room after the game with the team.
thats all i was told

2/4/2009 12:17:13 PM

2/4/2009 12:39:38 PM

Honestly, I get the feeling that Wall is a lock at Baylor for some reason. Just an opinion. I think that a lot of this is just posturing so less attention is drawn to the hiring of his mentor...

Quote :

Honestly, it probably doesn't suck to be John Wall. He probably looks like he is having a good time all the time.
