I agree on your thoughts about Wall; but, repectively disgree on Bledsoe. I freely admit that I believe he is going to be a Wildcat because the blue tint to my blood affects all cognitive ability and makes me incapable of logical thought.

I would like to see us get Bledsoe.

but he sure is a need……having he and Wall both in the mix just makes us that much deeper…Wall situation will be like the woman who had bad things to say about RP a while back….what was her name???….see….it’s already fading from memory…has anyone heard anymore about the Stewart-Harrellson situation?

I saw where Stewart misssed a training session last week, and that he was expected to transfer at the end of the month was it??….and read where it looked like Harrellson was next to have to face a decision on if he could play in this system…If memory serves it was over on KSR….Jones working overtime….also heard he and Bomani Jones on the radio discussing Wall….he agrees with your assessment Tru…

Did anyone have trouble with the heh link?

was to be a Tar Heel. Fact. So it seems that Roy Williams hasn’t really offered him a scholarship. Does that really have anything to do with Wall’s summer coach, Brian Clifton? From what I have read here through links, they cannot stand each other. I think that is no secret. So here are all my thoughts on this……

So if one dreams of being a Tar Heel, and that is not an option, and the opportunity to play for their biggest rival, the Blue Devils, (a big deal in NC evidently) were to be possible, and you are thinking you are a one and done, so Duke is big enough for a lot of exposure, and it has been stated that Wall likes to make people happy, and mama lives in North Carolina, and we all know if mama ain’t happy, there ain’t nobody happy……..right? Just a little thought on Wall. All the ands included….lol

you’ll have to show more than an exploding head to represent the BBN if Bledsoe says Memphis and Wall says Duke (or Florida or Miami or ? or ?).

it could be because I suffer from similar symptoms of whatever Strangeite said he had. I am not sure. Though it really worries me that Tru thinks Memphis. You know he has a magic internet thingy he waves from time to time. Just kidding, but he does have one. So I guess we will all have to see tomorrow. :-)

Geez….doesn’t UK have a full boat right now? Funny, that doesn’t seem to stop Captain Calipari….he guess he can just make another, inferior shipmate walk the plank to make more room. Too bad.

on the Wall-bledsoe situation…..sounds to me like he has talked to a coach or two….

……on recruiting Wall and Bledsoe was awesome.

 At the beginning of the article when he says that he doesn’t really get into college recruiting, well, I can totally relate to that and his reasons why.

Like Eaves notes, college recruiting is all basically a crapshoot anyway. You can take the best players in the nation and put them into systems or colleges that aren’t tailor made for their talents and their personalities, and well, sometimes it’s a bust and it doesn’t work out no matter how talented or how highly ranked they are coming out of high school. I’m a big believer in each kid finding his own perfect school/Coach match and sometimes that doesn’t happen.

While all the college recruiting talk of "I don’t like this kid, I don’t like that kid, and I want so-and-so" does provide fodder for blog discussion, and as long as it’s not totally malicious I think it’s great, and I also realize that recruiting does interest some and I think that’s great too, but for me following and spending tons of time on recruiting really isn’t a big priority, because guess what? We have to take and accept whoever we end up getting anyway, and hopefully we as a fan base will embrace them, and more than likely, a few years down the road we won’t even remember who we didn’t get. I mean, seriously, with the exception of a few of you out there, who can tell me what recruits we missed out on over the last few years?

By the time I’m warmed up and loose – I’m done.

I am of the opinion, that unless anything else comes to light (like drugs, vandalism, etc.) this situation is a minor blip and does not reflect a kid with poor character. This opinion has nothing to do with the fact that he is a major recruiting target for UK either. I would say the same thing if UofL was recruiting him.

I had a similar situation when I was in high school. In my hometown, there was a graveyard that had a disappearing statue that the kids always got a big kick out of. One night, when I was around 16, a bunch of us went to the graveyard and were messing around. There was also an abandoned house there that we all went into to scare the girls etc. The caretaker called the police and said there were a bunch of kids trespassing in the cementery and they showed up in full force. They took around 30 of us to jail and after a little investigating found that this was nothing more than bored kids messing around. They found no alcohol, drugs, vandalism etc. so all they did was call our parents and had them pick us up. No one got prosecuted for trespassing or anything else. The only trouble anyone got into was with their parents, if the parents felt it warranted it. My mom was one of the first to show up and she laughed her butt off when she showed up at the police station and saw all my friends there. She knew nothing was going on was totally cool with the situation.

So unless something else comes to life, I won’t think any less of John Wall for this little transgression.

that Brooks Hansen at Memphis Roar is?….Supposedly he is claiming that we have got both Bledsoe and Wall

…..Bledsoe about 85% sure…..Wall 100%…..anyone??..blogger over at KSR claims he is 100% reliable and that he was the guy that broke the Calipari story to Marc Maggard…..

for the announcement tomorrow? I cannot find it. :-)

but this seems a little more definitive than what I saw earlier:

Bledsoe to Bluegrass
