– If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m taking a little time off over these next few days to recover from the basketball season and to get ready for the final stretch of the athletics season. I’ll probably throw up a post on the remaining athletics season sometime Friday or Saturday, but after that I might close the laptop for the week. I hope you all can understand.

– John Wall and John Calipari were in Indianapolis on Thursday to receive the Adolph Rupp Trophy and Adolph Rupp Cup, respectively, given to the National Player of the Year and National Coach of the Year. Believe it or not, it’s the first time in school history a men’s basketball player has won National Player of the Year honors.

– While I was gone today, Brett Dawson from the Courier-Journal churned out some pretty good notes from Indianapolis. Although the rumor mill continues to spin with talk of Daniel Orton and Darnell Dodson leaving the team, it appears Wall hasn’t even made a decision yet, according to Dawson’s report. Wall reportedly said that he hasn’t made a decision yet but will announce his intentions in the coming weeks. In his acceptance speech, Calipari said Wall wants to become the first player to leave school after one year to come back and complete his degree.
