Duke, UNC Among Those That Are Very Supersticious: Writing Is On The "Wall"

Many recruiting guru's and experts are among those that believe it is a done deal, just a matter of time. All the national columnists and writers for websites such as CBSSportsline, ESPN, and FoxSports believe he's coming. The writing is on the "Wall", meaning that John Wall, the senior from Word of God Academy in Raleigh, NC, is coming to UK. He is the #1 player overall and #1 PG by Rivals.com. With the addition of a player like him, UK will not only have the #1 recruiting class for 2009 by far, but will be regarded as possibly the best assembled class in the history of college basketball. He is able to penetrate defenders, and is able to drive and dish the ball well, which well help in the DDM offense, which allows players to take their defenders one-on-one and creates matchup problems for the other teams. He is considered by some to be better than Derrick Rose was in his prime before he entered the NBA, and that is not an overstatement. With Eric Bledsoe also coming, and the additions of newcomers Orton, Cousins, Dodson, and Hood, not to mention Matt Pilgrim, another low post presence, the Cats will be a force to reckon with. If Meeks and Patterson come back, along with Miller who is expected to have a breakout season next year, the Cats will be the best team overall in the SEC and one of the top teams in the country, talent wise of course. If they can play like a team and have that cohesiveness and chemistry that pulls most teams together and makes them from good to great, they will be a team that nobody will want to play.
