Everyone is waiting for news involving John Wall and the timetable for an announcement regarding the eligibility of Wall for this coming season. While UK has stood firm by their comments that everyone is eligible until otherwise stated. UK is taking a firm stance that they are confident about this issue and how it will be resolved. Jerry Tipton at the Herald Leader, who is well known for his articles about UK basketball not sure if that is good or bad.
The real question today is whether or not Wall will be participating in the Blue-White scrimmage tonight. Is tonight’s scrimmage a competition? Is it a glorified practice, is it a practice with a bunch of fans? Those are the questions that are being asked by most people. If you ask UK fans that bleed blue they will tell you that the scrimmage is a practice and that is it. If you ask someone in the media (Pat Forde), then it would be viewed as a competition without question.
Whether or not Wall participates tonight, it is going to be a great practice for all of Big Blue Nation to see. I would not be surprised either way. I would never blame UK for being cautious not knowing what the NCAA is up to with this. Sometimes its better safe than sorry. I personally would love nothing more than to see Wall out there and that is obviously what everyone is hoping for.
The big match-up that has been getting some talk in the past couple of days is between Orton and Cousins. This is going to be a match-up that probably will not disappoint anyone. UK has three of the biggest strongest forwards in the country and right now the guards are getting most of the attention, but look for this to be an exciting match-up tonight.
