Oregon Gets Surprise Visit For Basketball

John Wall, from Raleigh, NC visited Oregon March 8th when the Ducks faced the Arizona Wildcats at home. Wall, is considered to be one of the top point guard prospects in the nation according to both Scout.com and Rivals.com

Wall is a 6'4 PG that can play both the point and also slide over to the shooting guard spot and give his team two ball handlers on the floor at the same time. Wall led his high school team to back to back state championships in North Carolina. He currently has no favorites officially but reading his comments about schools Texas, North Carolina, and North Carolina State appear to be teams he is very interested in.

Wall's best abilities according to Scout.com are his ability to create his own shot and for his own teammates, finishing around the hoop, and his quickness and speed on the court. Scout.com lists his need to improve on his outside shooting, mid-range game, and the ability to change pace on the floor.

Wall currently has offers from Kentucky, Mempshis, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Indiana, Kansas, Miami, North Carolina State, Ohio State, and Oklahoma.
