Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com scored an interview today with John Wall, the nation’s No. 1 point guard, who said that Memphis is out in front at the moment for his services.
The Tigers have big recruiting momentum right now with DeMarcus Cousins committing Sunday. If Wall commits to the Tigers, they’ll have the No. 1, 2 and 3 players in the country per Rivals’ rankings.
“DeMarcus going to Memphis is a big thing,” Wall told Rivals. “To see a big man go there is important because I want to play with a dominant big man. He’s going to help out Memphis a lot. And it’s exciting that he is going to be there because no guard is good without a good big man inside and dominant shooters on the wing. Playing with (Duke commit) Ryan Kelly in the summer helped me see that because he was so good on the pick and pop.”
