Wall visits Pack

Atlanta's Favors also in attendance

John Wall, the top-ranked high school senior basketball player in the country, according to rivals.com, enjoyed spending time with Derrick Favors, scout.com's the top-ranked player, at N.C. State's opening practice this weekend.

Wall, a 6-foot-4 point guard, attended the Wolfpack's first practice and spent time with the 6-9 Favors. The South Atlanta High senior was on his official visit to State.

Wall and Favors know each other from playing in the Boost Mobile Elite 24 all-star game in New York this summer.

"He is a great player," Wall said. "I asked if he was serious about State, and he said he was. He said he was having a good visit."

Wall doesn't plan any more official recruiting visits until after he takes the SAT on Nov. 1 and is considering dropping Kansas, the only school where he has officially visited.

Wall said Sunday that Miami was pushing for a visit and that he was not sure he'd keep Kansas on his list after it took a commitment from 6-foot-2 Elijah Johnson of Las Vegas.

"I'm not sure where I am with Kansas right now," he said.

Wall is considering N.C. State, Oregon, Baylor and Memphis, along with possibly either Miami or Kansas.

Wall said he still planned to take his official visits, but his first priority was taking the SAT and preparing for Word of God's season. The early signing period begins Nov. 12, but he said he will not commit until he is sure of his decision.

His mother recently was hospitalized and is scheduled for surgery near the end of this month.

Wall said his mother's health was a concern.

"You only have one mother," Wall said. "Her health will be a factor in my decision, but not the biggest factor.

"She always stresses for me to make the best decision for me."
