John Wall retires

[Jtf2217]

Meh, he was a cog in Calipari’s one-and-done players-first crap fest. I’m thrilled Calipari is gone, and I don’t see how adding a Calipari protégé to the current staff yields positive returns.

All these modern HS players know John freaking wall..... Plus he's one of the best PGs of the last few decades that would immediately sell with recruits. Hell I'd love to learn PG under John Wall.

The greatest High school mixtape of all time. Changed UK basketball forever, enjoy retirement.

John Wall was great the one season he played here. He seems like a great guy, and he’s been supportive of the program, and not just Calipari, like a lot of other players seem to be.

That being said, I was at the game in Syracuse, when his team choked against West Virginia, in the Regional finals in 2010.

We all now know Cal is the reason they choked.

4/32 from 3. I think once you see you're struggling from 3, you pound it in with Patterson, Cousins etc.

Yep, should have just gone to KAT more in 2015 too

Absolutely.

Considering his aversion to actual decent shooting teams shooting 3’s it makes it even worse.

Absolutely.

He was unstoppable in the Wisconsin game. Should have had 25 shots.

John Wall is the arguably the second most important wildcat in my lifetime. After Monster Mash. Both relativized UK and made them powerhouses again.

Definitely, at least in modern times.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but i think his nba career must be considered disappointing. He was really good, but never achieved greatness that everyone thought was guaranteed.
