As mayfieldcol posted in the FanShots, ESPN's Chad Ford is reporting that John Wall might be eligible for the 2009 draft as a fifth-year high school senior. My assessment of the eligibility rules can be found at FanHouse. Two writers we all know and respect — Shoals from FreeDarko and Ben Golliver from Blazers Edge — attended the Nike Hoops Summit over the weekend in Portland, and had stellar reviews of Wall.

Wall is No. 1 on DraftExpress' 2010 mock, and he's considered the top prospect in this high school class … if he's even in this high school class. If he's ruled eligible and he decides to skip his one-and-done year, he makes the inevitable draft debates all the more interesting. You can see why below.
