Breaking News: Wall’s Status in Doubt
According to Pat Forde of ESPN, Kentucky’s prized recruit John Wall, already widely considered one of the nation’s top players, still faces serious eligibility issues.
Forde reports that SEC Commissioner Mike Slive stated that Wall is eligible to practice but is not currently eligible to play.
This is the first time that anyone has commented publicly that Wall’s eligibility is in question.
Sources close to the program have so far denied that any issues exist. “My understanding is that all 13 players on our roster are eligible at this point,” UK media relations director DeWayne Peevey told reporters.

We would like to note that Forde, a long time reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal, has shown a penchant for calling UK’s tactics into question. He has published several pieces in recent months that cast doubt on the methods of coach John Calipari.
The BBL will be paying close attention to this development.
