Looking for something to do on a rather slow spring news day? Well, I’ve got two things for you. The twitter world just broke with news that freshman guard John Wall has joined twitter. The first thing I suggest you do if you’re a part of the twitter network is follow Wall. His user name is @jimmywa11. The best way to find him is by going to www.twitter.com/jimmywa11.The second thing I suggest you do after you click follow is refresh the page and watch the power of Big Blue Nation. Since news broke that Wall is on twitter, the masses have poured onto his page. What started as just over 1,000 followers at the beginning of the day is exponentially increasing by the minute. At last count, Wall was just under the 3,000 mark, and I expect that number to get close to 10,000 by the end of the day, if not more.
UPDATE: UK has also confirmed that freshman guard Jon Hood has a twitter account as well. His user name is @jdhood4. The best way to find him is by going to www.twitter.com/jdhood4.
UPDATE: Add one more to the twitter list. And I guarantee you’ll want to follow this guy.
According to John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins has joined twitter as well. The freshman forward’s user name is @boogiecousins or click on www.twitter.com/boogiecousins.
I haven’t verified this with UK spokesman DeWayne Peevy yet, but with Wall’s tweet and the information on Cousins’ page, it looks to be the real “Boogie.”
Expect hilarity to ensue.
