At this point, even Barack Obama must be in envy of John Calipari’s ambition and deal-closing abilities.

This morning, it was reported that Kentucky snatched the final piece of its recruiting puzzle: dynamic point guard John Wall.

Wall, ranked the No. 1 point guard, No. 5 overall, on the ESPNU 100, informed Miami coach Frank Haith Tuesday morning that he had committed to Kentucky. The reasoning, according to a source, was because he just wanted to play for Calipari.

Of course he does. Is it possible Calipari has been able to recruit so many talented athletes on his words alone? A topic for another time.

And what if Jodie Meeks returns? (Will he want to with so much PT to go around?) Kentucky should already be a preseason top five team, and it will certainly be the most anticipated team to see come November.
