You can't make this up

i rarely ever discuss that school down the road, but this is ridiculous. Kentucky actually inducted John Wall into their HOF. For what?

In 1 year at school, he will have led us to as many banners as any player in the Pitino era.

You are one dumb*ss tool, what banner fool❓

Give it a month or 2. Maybe you'll get it then.

Nope, I got it.........you’re a total dumb•ss period ❗️

Even if your wettest dreams come true, we still have F4s that arent up for removal. How far did John Wall take them in that one tourney?

So all your snark aside, he acheived nothing as a representative of the school and yet the school
Is inducting him into the HOF. That's funny!

Good thread OP

Excellent post, nobody. Very well thought out and insightful.

Any thread that reels in UK blowhards is a good thread. OP wins. UK blowhards lose.

I think its a great idea. Wall was amazing to watch, was an amazing season. Ive never seen a PG catch lobs before and block just about every position on defense. The tourney was a disappointment, but the entire season was a blast.
Most fun I've had watching basketball in a while and got the entire state interested again.

And you should be thankful, it inspired Pitino to recruit better and put forth more effort.

And that is reason enough for induction into the UK HOF??

John Wall got this ball rolling. Idk if it is or isn't worthy of being inducted to a schools athletic HOF but you can't argue what he did for our program.

Kinda like retiring the unforgettables uniforms. Yes there have been much greater talents come through Lexington but not many have left such a mark on the program as a whole

I don't have all his stats off the top of my head, but the only thing left was to win a title.

National Player of the Year, 1st Team All-American, #1 Pick

Heck its a University athletics Hall of Fame, not even a conference, state, or pro sports. He would be the greatest player at 99% of schools in the country in their history.

 

[catfan111]

Kinda like making rings for not making the tournament.

 

[Mayoman]

OP....you sure its not for the "Hall of Shame"?

Take his picture and put it on the front of SI again. Flashbacks of bygone years????

 

[Wildcat Willy]

He was the National Player of the Year. Why wouldn't he be in the HOF?

 

[SemperFiCat]

Why are you concerned with who another school chooses to honor? Wall was amazi gly fun to watch and got the Cal era off to a bang. UK fans love Wall for more than just his stats or what his tournament resume is. I bet you have a few Cards that are special to you that weren't Pervis or deliver a banner.

John Wall got this ball rolling.

The question is, for how much?
