Uh-Oh

On a live chat just a second ago, John Wall failed to mention Kentucky on his list of potential suitors. HOW DARE HE NOT BE THINKING OF KENTUCKY 24/7?!?!?!

He later said he would be looking at UK also. I hope he did it to freak everyone in Kentucky out. Also, 10 of the 15 question he answered during the live chat were from the state of Kentucky. That won't freak him out at all, will it?

He now lists 9 schools he's looking at: Florida, Carolina, Duke, Baylor, Miami, NC State, Memphis, Kansas, and UK.

Oh, and ESPN's Chad Ford will be writing a piece on John Wall and how he is actually eligible for this year's NBA Draft (gulp). Here's an excerpt from his live chat today:
Mike, FL: Is John Wall the No. 1 pick in 2010 Draft. He was awesome at the Hoop Summit game.

Chad Ford: He was awesome and he'll compete with Ed Davis and a few other freshmen for that. However, there is some buzz that Wall believes he might be eligible for THIS year's draft. I've been doing some digging and will be filing a story later today. The short rub is this: Wall is a 5th year senior and depending on how you read the collective bargaining agreement, 5th year seniors are eligible for the draft as long as the turn 19 in the calander year (Wall does). The league is taking a wait and see approach. If he declares, they'll research and make a ruling. If he does declare and is ruled eligible (two big ifs) he's a Top 5 pick in this draft. Maybe Top 3.
