Prized Basketball recruit John Wall reportedly informed University of Miami basketball coach Frank Haith that he won't be coming to Coral Gables.

Instead he'll be packing his bags for Lexington, Kentucky to play for John Calipari and his Wildcats.

So, there goes UM's hopes next season. Hey, there's always Brandon Knight season after.

And, as we always say in these situation, have a fun time spending your college year(s) in beautiful Kentucky, John.
