Kentucky Recruit John Wall Cleared to Play

Highly touted freshman John Wall has been cleared to begin his playing career at Kentucky. Wall had been embroiled in an eligibility battle with the NCAA.

From SB Nation’s A Sea of Blue:

John Wall has been cleared to play this season for UK. He must sit out the first exhibition game and the regular season opener as well as repay $787.58, but after that, it is clear sailing for the #1 ranked recruit out of Word of God Academy in North Carolina.

Kentucky’s exhibition game is against Campbellsville and their season opener is versus Morehead State. Kentucky is ranked No. 4 in the preseason Top 25. It looks as if November 16 will be Wall’s collegiate debut against Miami (Ohio).
