Nations top prospect set to end recruitment
The recruitment of John Wall, Rivals.com's No. 1 prospect in the class of 2009, is coming close to an end.
Wall's travel team coach - Dwon Clifton of D-One Sports - will officially be named Director of Player Development at Baylor University on Friday, according to multiple sources close to the situation.

Wall is a 6-foot-4, 184-pound point guard out of Raleigh (N.C.) Word of God Christian Academy. He is expected to announce his college decision early next week according to Brian Clifton, the director of D-One Sports and Dwon Clifton's older brother.
Naturally, Wall is expected to follow his travel team coach to Baylor.
This development is somewhat surprising considering many news outlets erroneously reported last week - during the travel team tournaments in Las Vegas - that Dwon Clifton and Wall were destined for Oklahoma State.
Baylor apparently was not the only school pursuing Clifton as a coach. According to a source close to the situation, Dwon Clifton was offered coaching positions by other Big 12 schools as well as schools in the Big East and SEC.
Clifton played collegiate basketball at Clemson and then later at North Carolina-Greensboro before playing professionally in Portugal.
