RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - One of the nation's most sought-after basketball recruits has been charged with a misdemeanor breaking and entering after police found him walking out of a vacant house in North Carolina, police said Monday.

John Wall, 18, was detained briefly April 27 in Raleigh, but not arrested. He and two other teenagers were cited. Police said there was no indication of forced entry at the empty house or that anything was taken.

Wall, a point guard at Raleigh Word of God, was voted The Associated Press men's prep basketball player of the year for North Carolina in March.

He has not announced a college choice, but has been pursued by Duke, North Carolina State, Kansas, Memphis, Miami, Kentucky, among others.

Frank Jackson, an assistant district attorney in Wake County, which includes Raleigh, said a person convicted of such an offense could face up to 120 days in jail. But he said a first-time offender would likely have to perform community service.

A call to Wall's home in Raleigh found the phone was disconnected. His mother didn't have a listed phone number, and message to the school's athletic director wasn't immediately returned.

Do you think all those schools will still persue him after this. Of course. He's talented. A little thing like some criminal activity is a minor thing in the search for success...

Depends on the coach and the legal process for this issue.

He will be a KY or Cal recruit. I am sure that guy will find a way to get this guy.

True. But this isn't the first incident with this kid. I've got a feeling that whoever gets him is going to have their hands full...
