There’s an old UK basketball tale that claims to Kentucky. Though incredibly hard to believe, we now have confirmation that it did indeed happen, according to Wall himself.
Wall was a guest on Tuesday night’s Hey Kentucky and Matt Jones asked him to confirm or deny the old rumor. The former Wildcat simply said, “Yeah that’s true,” with a smile.
When asked what he thought when that happened, Wall told the show, “I would never play for this man.”
Luckily, a man named John Calipari came in months later to replace Gillispie and he convinced Wall to go to Kentucky.
