As we come upon the Blue-White Game tomorrow, the black cloud of the John Wall eligibility investigation still hangs over all of our heads.

Notes on John Wall, Basketball Recruiting and Football News

All of the hype surrounded Friday night’s Big Blue Madness festivities. The lights, the introductions, the glitz, the all-star game caliber scrimmage and of course John Calipari’s State of the Bluegrass address.

Coach John Calipari and UK Athletics recognized a couple opportunities in the way they put together the [...]
