"It's been a long time coming..."

The time had arrived for UK fans. And it came and went in a flash. John Wall committed to UK overnight on Tuesday, which cam every abruptly but it was the decision most people had been expecting. I have been tracking this extremely talented player for the past year and a half and I am extremely excited that he is here, but I never would've expected it 2 months ago. As many experts have said over the past 2 months, the longer the decision had been put off, the less optimistic the chances were for UK. His AAU coach, Brian Clifton, has been in his ear this entire time as sort of a father figure if one chooses that perspective, but he had his own influence on the young man, at time trying to show the media that he might have been swaying towards Duke. He also revealed certain things to the media on his behalf, making it seem as if Wall was mute on the subject or was just under too much pressure to choose a school. It had also been rumored when the talk of Wall to Miami last week heated up that he gave a soft verbal to Miami, but according to him that wasn't the case.
But as I said before, it seemed like Clifton kept a tight lid on everything that happened concering Wall. And it showed at the press conference on Wednesday. The pastor of his church/school told the press that he would only answer a maximum of 5 questions, and it was basically dry and boring the entire time. He did not even sport a UK hat, nor was there even an applause from the crowd of media members, not even a golf clap. Even his face seemed to give off a bad vibe, as if he wasn't confident in his decision. But I know that once he arrives in Lexington, he will feel at home.
