Damn this is the worst story ever. Being the duke basketball fan that i am it really sucks to see someone who damn near lives in k-ville go to kentucky just because coach k has his principals about going after "one and done" players. Sorry this is just a very sad moment for me and i felt the need to express my true GODDAMN COCK MOTHERFUCKIN feelings.

@Meast Of The East: I hate to break it to you, but Wall ending up at UK isn't because Coach K has principles about one-and-dones. Among other things, it's because Coach K is incapable of turning a promising point guard into a first round pick. Coach K entered the Wall sweepstakes late, but he pushed hard and even with that AND Clifton's obvious preference for Duke, Wall still wanted to choose between Miami and UK.

I don't mean to rub salt in the wound (OK maybe I do)...I mean, West Virginia is cool.

@Meast Of The East: FALSE! There should be a rule to disemvowel any commenter who propagates lazy, hack-y sports falsehoods, like "Black NBA players are lazy", "Hockey fans are morons", "NASCAR fans have body hair problems", or worst... "Coach K is far too principled to bring talented player X on his roster". He is JUST as cutthroat as every other coach in the NCAA. And Duke is the Dartmouth of the south, not the Harvard of the south.

Imagine that being said in the tone of Slim Pickens when he was waving his cowboy hat and riding the bomb to the ground.

His previous recruitment of Anthony Windows turned out to be less successful, prompting him to focus on Wall. No word yet on whether Mr. Calipari's sweat is dripping down his balls.

Well, this would explain Ashley Judd's "Wallbangers" shirt.

Kentucky makes sense. He don't need no education.

To be fair, Calipari only went after this guy so hard because his keys are locked in his car and he's too cheap to hire a locksmith.

It's only a matter of time before President Miles Brand says: "Mr. Calipari (due to recruiting violations) tear down this Wall!"

Wow. The Door has lost all power to recruit, coach defense and win consistently. It should immediately be transferred to Indiana.
