Don't forget to vote...

Don't forget to vote for John Wall at ESPN.com in his two nominated ESPY catergories. Fans can go online to www.espn.com/espys and vote for Wall in both the category for "Breakthrough Athlete of the Year" and "Best Male College Athlete of the Year."

In the category of "Breakthrough Athlete of the Year," Wall, the 2010 Adolph Rupp National Player of the Year, will be going against Brittney Griner (Baylor women's basketball), Chris Johnson (NFL’s Tennessee Titans) and Stephen Strasburg (MLB’s Washington Nationals).

In the category of "Best Male College Athlete," Wall is going against Blake Geoffrion (Wisconsin hockey), Mark Ingram (Alabama football), Evan Turner (Ohio State basketball) and Garrett Wittels (Florida International Baseball).

Wall became the first player in the illustrious history of the UK basketball program to receive any one of the primary national player of the year awards, winning the 2010 Adolph Rupp Trophy. The 6-foot-4 freshman led the Wildcats in scoring (16.6), assists (6.5) and steals (1.8). He set all-time UK freshman records in scoring, assists and free throws made.

He also became the first Wildcat to ever be selected the overall number one draft pick in the NBA draft when he was selected first by the Washington Wizards.

Go vote now!

And go Cats!
