Roger van der Horst of the Raleigh News and Observer reports that North Carolina State has asked a student to shut down his Facebook page “John Wall PLEASE come to NC STATE!” The group had over 700 members.
The student, Taylor Moseley, did shut down the page.
Wall is the point guard from North Carolina ranked as the nation’s No. 1 recruit by Rivals. He was listing Memphis as the top school on his list of potential destinations. But now that John Calipari has moved to Lexington, Wall has reportedly cut his list to a half-dozen, with Kentucky and North Carolina State both in the mix.
An excerpt:
“NCAA legislation hasn’t caught up with technology, and that’s being discussed nationally,” said Michelle Lee, N.C. State’s interim associate athletic director for compliance, who sent a letter to Moseley requesting that he close the original group. The letter followed an article published Tuesday in N.C. State’s student newspaper, the Technician, reporting the possible NCAA violation.
“Should this activity not cease and/or it continues in the future, we will have no choice but to take further action,” Lee’s letter said.
Further action against Moseley, she told The News & Observer, “could be anything from preventing him from getting student tickets to athletic contests to disassociating ourselves from him, just like we would any other booster.”
