As details emerge from the Wall breaking and entering charge, it looks more and more like a bunch of kids trying to hang out in an abandoned house to do their thing than an attempt at theft. Above is the house that Wall allegedly entered, and it is for sale if you are interested in purchasing. I am not in any way excusing Wall’s action, as a kid in that kind of spotlight has to be more careful, but the “breaking and entering” looks to be more about a kid walking in the back door of an abandoned house than a full fledged criminal act.
Still yet, it will be interesting to see if the local publicity makes Duke back off….we shall see.

He was simply putting up some UK wallpaper and the North Carolina police didn’t like it
May 4th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Ugh, vinyl siding….
May 4th, 2009 at 11:08 am
In a year he will be able to buy the whole neighborhood.

#1… that’s hilarious!
May 4th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Flash flash, Coach K will soon announce on of the newest speakers at
The Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics– John Wall.
Ooops - that was last week - never mind.

I call BS. Everyone knows all homes in NC have wheels on them.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:12 am
I still say we get him. There was no major wrongdoing here…just some kids being kids. It jsut happens that THIS kid is the #1 recruit in the nation with UK hot after him lol
May 4th, 2009 at 11:12 am
this probably won’t amount to anything, but what a dumb move
May 4th, 2009 at 11:14 am
sounds like a UNC set-up to me
May 4th, 2009 at 11:17 am
The value of that house just went way up.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Bring abandoned and being foreclosed on are two different things. The article states forclosed, so the bank would own it. His judgment is certainly at question here. Young people make mistakes but there needs to be consequences for those mistakes that are equal to the mistake. It shouldn’t ruin his life nor should it keep him from attending Kentucky. At the same time, to blame law enforcement or to even call them racists, as I read in an ealier thread, is stupid and irresponsible. Lets wait for it to ease it’s way through the court system, which will probably be some time after he comitts.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:19 am
bunch of kids doing there thing?I remember when i was around 10 i used to do this sort of thing all the time but at 18?Unless they needed a place to smoke some good ol marijuana drink a 40 or gang bang some hot chick im not sure i see the excitment in going into and abandoned house anymore.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:20 am
You would think a kid that quick on the bball court would be able to shake a couple out of shape cops. C’mon john, what happened man?
May 4th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Details on the Home: 500 square feet living space with 400 sq ft being garage.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:21 am
that house just looks like it’s doomed….
May 4th, 2009 at 11:21 am
11) Sometime after he commits? The only thing slower than the wheels of justice is John Wall’s ability to pick a college.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Wall was also cited in the summer of 2008 for ripping tags off a few mattresses, but nobody talks about this!
May 4th, 2009 at 11:22 am
The previous owner of that house needs to get their car
checked for leaking oil!
Also, a little Scotts Fertilizer wouldn’t hurt that yard either.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:22 am
#6 - classic!
May 4th, 2009 at 11:23 am
15. hilarious link
May 4th, 2009 at 11:24 am
It was reported that while Wall was being escorted to the police car he was
yelling and screaming at the officer-
“#8 biatch”
May 4th, 2009 at 11:24 am
how many people go into a house that is for sale, that is open and who don’t want to deal with a realitor each day?
If there is no damage I think the owners will ask that the charges be dropped.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Maybe this will encourage Wall to finish his recruitment and select a school — you know, before anything else happens.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:26 am
#14 no joke! That house appears to be all garage
May 4th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I looked into the future and Wall gets arrested again
He is charged with stealing UNC’s hopes of every claiming the title as the winningest
program ever.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:27 am
16) You may be right about that but this may be one of the reasons he hasn’t reduced his list, perhaps he is getting an opinion from each coach to see if this affects thier attiltude toward him. I am sure if this is a criminal charge, it will take longer than the comitment decision. If it is a non-criminal citation, like the article implies, then it may be quicker. I say we get Bledsoe while we wait. Many kids go to college with some stupid things on their records, but it does speak to character, no matter what excuse some fans will make for it.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Matt is now in detailed negotiations with Rahm Emmanuel over the potential for a Presidential pardon for John Wall. Matt is still holding his one bargaining chip — KIGE!
May 4th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Lance Stephenson is grinning today…..
May 4th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Hopefully we can get a video of Kige re-enacting the scene at
a Vinyl sided garage uhh I mean house.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Flash flash — negotiations on the Wall Presidential pardon have broken down over the insistence of Matt that Alan Cutler be assigned press credentials for Hillary.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:31 am
How dumb is this kid? Last think Cal / UK needs
is reputation of recruiting punks like this?
Sign Bledsoe and call it a day….we get 3 years
out of Bledsoe and 6 months out of Wall…
May 4th, 2009 at 11:32 am
This entire Wall saga is getting more and more ridiculous.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Commits to Duke, GUILTY AS HELL!!!
Commits to UK, HE WAS FRAMED!!!
I knew a guy in the 80’s who got arrested for breakdancing and entering…
SaveUK had a vague post about this 2 years ago.
Carry on with your afternoon…
May 4th, 2009 at 11:35 am
The only thing bigger than that garage is Frosty Tips EGO!! bawwdaBING
May 4th, 2009 at 11:35 am
this doesnt even compare to what bud mackie did last year at scott county.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:35 am
This story is ridiculous…
The kids were messing around (in) a vacant house. In my hometown, these kids would have been escorted home not cited for B & E.
Of course, in Georgia, if the girl was a little younger…Wall would be facing rape charges. Remember that kid?
May 4th, 2009 at 11:36 am
You people want to dump on this guy for THIS?
May 4th, 2009 at 11:36 am
NON ISSUE
May 4th, 2009 at 11:36 am
#31. i wish youd keep your girly opinions to yourself wall might be watching, and other future superstar point guards.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:36 am
A lot of you guys are too quick to be judemental of a young kid, there was no damage to the house, nothing stolen from the house and only thing that this kid did was to go into a house and hang out with a girl. Don’t throw rocks at a glass house guys.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:37 am
mm reporting that the police called him to make a positive ID of Mr. Wall.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Was he quick enough to run from the Cops+
May 4th, 2009 at 11:38 am
mm has now reported the Vinyl siding is Butterscotch YELLOW, not PEE Yellow.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:39 am
He needs to go elsewhere….UK
is holy ground….no thugs allowed!
May 4th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Andy Kennedy at ole miss is now heavily recruiting John Wall. Kennedy is quoted as saying,” he knows the system — and I know it better than him”

37)
Not for this. Just so long as the kid doesn’t become John Stephenson, I’m all good.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:39 am
That house is 3/4 garage, seriously, there does not seem to be much to that house
May 4th, 2009 at 11:40 am
Tipton made the 911 call.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:40 am
mm now officially saying that his hair dye killed the grass in the front lawn during a freak rain storm. mm later confirmed the rain storm via radar imaging.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:40 am
i cant believe how judgemental these people are. i bet they look at michael phelps as a sex offender. cmon guys he didnt vandalize and he didnt steal. he was just looking for a place to hang out like most high school kids do.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:41 am
What do Wall’s breaking and entering charges have in common with his college career? They both will get six months…ba domp cha Just jokin…I know no serious allegations.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:42 am
BLUEBALLS you dont even know what a thug is
May 4th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Why is there 1 curtain hanging and 1 open? That could only mean it
is down to UK and HighPoint?
May 4th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Just another reason for John Wall to commit to Kentucky.

May 4th, 2009 at 11:43 am
The only thing bigger than that garge is Bryan the Interns
vocabulary?
May 4th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Calm down people! He had just recently added this house to his list of places to visit. Now we have a complete list of
Kentucky, UNC, Miami, Duke, North Carolina Central, and this random house.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:45 am
I thought B&E required forced entry…this sounds more like trespassing.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Duke associate sports information director Matt Plizga and N.C. State assistant athletics director for media relations Annabelle Myers said the schools would have no comment on the Wall report other than, aljtaewljq34u053ip4rmalr4309u.fmarmq34o5uopurajl~!!!!!!!!xxxxx.a/fjalj ’w slkjfasjfsfj - idiot.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Seriously this is the biggest NON-Story I’ve ever seen…
He was hanging out with some friends in a vacant house.
I stole my neighbor’s car one time and took a joyride with some friends. Upon returning the car…all everyone had to say was — is everybody okay? We were and so was the car..no harm no foul. No arrests were made and everything was fine!
If this doesn’t make the kid want to get out of NC I don’t know what will…
May 4th, 2009 at 11:47 am
53- magical
I say that house needs “the door” installed on it, and then film all of Kige and youtube sports from the basement.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Girl with John Wall has gone on the record stating, “there was no forced rear-entry”.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Dave Telep, national director of recruiting for men’s basketball for Scout.com, followed Wall for more than three years. He said that unless “something bigger” comes of the charge, he doesn’t see it as an issue.
“I wouldn’t jump to conclusions,” he said. “It’s a misdemeanor. It could be nothing more than a mistake,” he said.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:51 am
We need answers — where is Geraldo??
May 4th, 2009 at 11:52 am
60. “I say that house needs “the door” installed on it, and then film all of Kige and youtube sports from the basement.”
That’s classic!!
May 4th, 2009 at 11:52 am
I sense Kige Ramsey for YouTube Misdemeanors will be doing a report on How to Break & Enter Without Getting Caught.
May 4th, 2009 at 11:55 am
just trying to smoke a j and get a bj …. let him be. and for those of u who think cal will stop recruiting him bc of this lets not forget about tyreke evans being in the car when someone shot and MURDERED somebody last year
May 4th, 2009 at 11:56 am
If you read the story, this looks like nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, many people don’t read the story, only the headlines. Those people will get the wrong idea here.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I’m glad I wasn’t famous when I was his age. I done a lot worse shit than this…and I’m sure most of you did as well. He’s just a high school kid trying to get his noodle wet. Good locations were hard to come by back then.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Whis is there a pot or something sitting in front of the front door ?
May 4th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Come on Wall just commit to UK today and get this behind you!!!!!!!!!
May 4th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Part of his plea deal will be for him to go to Duke. It is all a set up. Those Duke lawyers will take care of that.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Hey Matt, isn’t this type of behavior being recommended by your friends at Acorn? So, he should just say that he was supporting Obama nation and he’s good to go.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Perhaps this will encourage Wall to announce sooner than later to reduce the negative publicity.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
72. Larry Craig and Ted Haggard totally agree with you.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
It looks like a garage with an attached house (or more like closet).
Somebody ought to buy the house…..when Wall becomes rich and famous in the NBA, it will be worth twice as much.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Since today seems like it is going to suck I thought I would update the twitter of Cal. He now has 16, 292 followers and wants 20,000. He should be there by the end of the week IMO. Again just bored anf thought I would put that out there
May 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
72 if you are going to go political just go over to fox and put comments. they will love you over there.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
First “The Door”…..now the “The House” & “The Wall”.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
This was staged to get more publicity…quite possible. ???
May 4th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Across the street from the house he broke into is Bagwell Cemetary. He was re-enacting “Thriller” by Michael Jackson.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Kids being Kids..If I was Wall when I got to the NBA,I would buy this house and give it to a single mother.Then it’s all water under the bridge.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
74 Your reference seems a little misplaced . . . perhaps you should read this article to see how it actually pertains to this situation in a comical way http://wokv.com/localnews/2009/04/group-encourages-squatting-in.html
May 4th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
i don’t think that will affect coach k…don’t forget he recruited shelden williams. i can’t remember any specifics, but i remember there being some serious issue with that guy coming out of high school…
May 4th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
A deal will be cut to have him serve community service and all will be forgiven. Now he will have to do said community service in NC. So he’s favor in return will be to sign locally.
May 4th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
18 year old boy and 16 year old girl…Yeah, I wonder what they were doing?
May 4th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Two dudes…one girl…yeah, they were going to break in and enter all right….This dude is a scoring machine! John, come to Kentucky, we’ll make locking the door illegal, just for you!!
May 4th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Shouldn’t a high school student be in school on a Monday morning?
May 4th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I knew we should have tried to hold on to Konner Tucker!!!!!!
May 4th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
On second thought I think that coach k was behind the setup of Mr. Wall, we know how the “legal” system works in that part of the country reference the little dookie mens soccer or field hockey or whatever team that was railroaded for the rape charge. k get’s Wall 2 years probation from the friendly court, judge is most likely a little dookie lawyer, and of course k is assigned as his probation officer, Instead of Wall being one and done he now receives 2 to 4 as the little dookie PG preparing for his next step as a QB in Big East.
May 4th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
WHAT A TOTAL DUMBASS!!!! MILLION DOLLAR ABILITY AND A 10 CENT BRAIN….. NO THANKS PAL!
May 4th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
90> I bet you are perfect. Like Jesus.
