The Duke Blue Devils are recruiting one more player in the class of 2009 and he just so happens to be the best high school point guard in the country.  John Wall dazzles all with his ability to go from baseline to baseline in just under three seconds. 

Wall has until May 21st to decide where he wants to play his college basketball and Duke has made

the final cut.  Coach K has been able to watch John Wall play this season, most recently during the Glaxo Invitational where he was accompanied by two assistants and key players on this seasons roster.

During yesterdays ACC opener, John Wall was sitting behind the bench to see the Blue Devils play lock down defense on Virginia Tech.  Blue Devil Nation Premium was able to get Walls thoughts and details of the visit.

"I came over the there house and watched a pretty exciting game [private] and watched the crowd go crazy when they made some big plays," said Wall when asked about his trip to Durham.

After the contest he was able to hang out before heading back to school,  "I went to the back (locker room) and talked to Coach K for a little bit and had a good time," said an upbeat Wall.

When asked if he had a chance to sit down with Coach Kryzyzewski, Wall stated, "No, that's all I had a chance to do right then."

Wall has been planning a visit to Duke for a while now, but scheduling conflicts kept him from making a trip until Sunday.  "I've been busy of late with Glaxo and all but I am going to set up a visit them hopefully soon, so I can go over there and talk to them.  They just wanted me to come over and watch a game and I said alright."

Wall had some company during his visit, "I went with my AAU Coach Clifton and my sister."  Wall has six sisters all of whom from Raleigh.  I couldn't help but ask the sleek star if there was pressure from siblings to stay at home and he stated, "No, not really.  I think my family - they realize that this is a decision I've got to make even thought they probably wouldn't go far.  I know they'll come to all my games they can whether I am far away or close to home."

When asked if he could see himself playing for Duke, Wall stated, "Right now I am just trying to go to the games and see the atmosphere, crowd and how the coaches coach in situations.  Since you are right there behind the bench you can hear what the coaches are saying and how they're telling the players to play, which is something you need to do before making a decision."

I asked of his contact with Coach Krzyzewski - "He really didn't get a chance to say too much.  I had to get back to school.  He just said it was great having me there and he would love to have me as a point guard and that he saw me at Glaxo and we lost a tough game."

When asked if Duke offered him, Wall said no, but that he expected one to come when he sits down to talk with Coach Krzyzewski.

Wall makes no secret of his desire to play in the NBA as soon as possible. "More than likely right now I am hopefully looking at just being one and done.  It'll be tough because you have to live up to the hype.  It's not just about scoring, but helping your team win which  and play like the kind of player the NBA wants to see."

Another thing that stands out is his confidence in his ability.  "Which ever school I end up choosing, I feel like I will be the go to  or set up man.  But I will have other great players with me, so if I draw a double team or get trapped, I hope to have teammates that can make big plays."

Wall also recognizes the challenge.  "I know it'll be pretty tough on me because I'm just a freshman but I want the ball under pressure.   So I really want to go to a school where I am going to be around great players."

While there are many out there that will tell you Wall is leaning one way or the other, you wouldn't know it when talking to him.  In my opinion, Wall is truly undecided and trying to figure out what eh most important factors are in his pending commitment.  "If you are not going to feel comfortable and feel like you're home, then I figure you shouldn't go to the school.  If you get down and you are far away from home and your coaches are not there for you, who will be there?"

Wall has made no secret of his desire to have a close relationship with the head coach and staff and it always seems to come up in conversations.  "You've just got to pick the situation that'll be best for you.  I will go to the school that wil let me be me and prepare me best for the next level, said Wall.

The young phenom will lead his team against Ravenscroft this Wednesday night at 7:00.  "It was originally supposed to be on ESPN.  It's a big game with me playing and Ryan playing.  It'll be a pretty excited crowd," said Wall.

The schools were unable to accommodate a time change to 9:00 due to a vote from higher ups concerned that it was on a school night.   Thus the battle will not be televised and unfortunately for Duke fans, the time is exactly when the Blue Devils tip off against Davidson and Stephan Curry. [/private]
