But after the season he had, Wall was selected No. 1 overall by
the Washington Wizards.
Now here comes speculation. With Allen Iverson career winding
down, Reebok was definitely looking for a new face.
So why not extend their offer to bring in the hottest young talent
in Wall?
The current accusations are that Wall's former AAU coach negotiates the
Reebok deal. Now the NCAA is poised to look at all Kentucky players’ connection
with professional agents.
One word: Speculation! One Phrase: Yellow Journalism!
There are so many people out there that have been trying to dig
deep and find the slightest mistakes UK has made since signing Coach Calipari.
However, linking Wall to this is a bit crazy.
Wall has been the model player since his days in high school. He
is a smart kid, and has a great mindset. Out of all the players in college,
Wall would be the last person linked to accusations like this.
Remember how LeBron James came onto the scene?
He was a hot commodity, and boom; speculation started flying
about illegal benefits.
Now here comes a similar situation, but different player.
So, college basketball fans, sports fan, or just people in
general; here is two things you must know.
- Coach Calipari
has nothing to do with this
As soon as the speculations started flying around, everybody
turned their heads to Coach Calipari rather than the player.
Last time I checked, it said the players were
being investigated not Coach Calipari.
Just because he recruits players that have
bad reputations--that happen to be pretty good players--doesn't mean the
media has to attack him every time speculation starts.
- It's nothing
more than speculation
The Kentucky basketball has gone through a lot since hiring Coach
Calipari.
There was the DeMarcus Cousins' trouble, Eric Bledsoe transcript,
and now John Wall's Reebok deal.
None of that was proven up to this day. Until anything is proven,
I believe fans need to give these Kentucky players a break.
Just because Coach Calipari reaches out to the five-star recruits
that your team wants, doesn't mean he is cheating. He is simply a better
recruiter and I think everybody hates him for that.
Until any of this is proven, it's nothing more than speculation.
(I want to know what you think. Is this speculation or does the
Kentucky players really have something to hide? Let me know, send me an email

ReplyDeleteObviously the journalist here is a UK fanatic....calapari has ran 2 programs into the dirt and within a few years he will make it 3
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a K-State fan. I just don't understand how the players get in trouble and it's Calipari's fault.
ReplyDeletePeople better get head's out of the sand, the game has changed drastacticly from when Kentucky had people like Rupp ran that program.
ReplyDeleteThe people who destroyed college basketball are alumni and big money booster's because they want their university to be top dog, yes they get the coach they want with there influnce, and hidden cash, so today alumni,booster's,recruiter's,five star player's,
whatever its one big sespool out there in most all of big college basketball, don't get mad at a coach Calapari, THE UNIVERSITY WANTED A BIG TIME COACH, AND HE PRODUCED, HE DID kENTUCKY A FAVOR WHEN THEY BROUGHT HIM IN, AND THEY HAVE WON.
What ^ said! Coach Calipari get's in the winning column regardless!
ReplyDeleteUK hired him, so don't be mad at the results
