I actually think it's kind of cool. From the ESPN article, he's still a year or so away from getting his UG. Hope he actually goes through with it.

OK, so I have stated this twice, in now locked threads, but I would want Ben Wallace at CLS. We need him to win the Dean's cup over NYU. I think they have won it the past three years.

He should go to UT.
EDIT: Does Miss. State or Auburn have a law school?

Now that we can actually discuss this, I'd like to note: He doesn't even have his bachelor's degree yet, he has to finish that first, so it'll be a while.
However, he has some
epic softs. I just hope he comes onto TLS and gets some good advice here so he doesn't undershoot with his apps.

No idea about Miss. State or Auburn, but UT does seem to like athletes. Didn't Chris Hills end up there after he finished his fifth year on the O-Line?

I have a formula to predict where Ben Wallace will attend. Find the closest match between his FT% this season (28.6%) and a school's acceptance rate.
The contenders -
UIUC - 29%
Georgia - 28%
Arizona State - 28%
Utah - 29%
UCONN - 28%
My vote? UCONN. Jim Calhoun is a great recruiter.

Hypo: Some school gives him an honorary degree. Do law schools count it?

This is epic. How freaking cool would it be to share a class with him?! He's pretty much a lock for Mich at least

Virginia schools seem like the obvious choice. I'm sure Richmond would love to have him.
