Wiggins to his Brother!

[Shockthemonkey]

Andrew has been listed as both 6-7 and 6-8 so he shouldn't be competing against his brother when he finally decides to come here.

Why FS? They had a rather non-descript season.

Didn't his mom or dad go there?

[AZ Shocker]

It would be cool to land the #1 recruit from the class of 2013....but why one and done? Maybe he would like to play college ball for a couple years...

As has Kentucky, but those are considered the top 2.

Honestly, Florida State is mostly in it because both of his parents were sports stars at FSU. Their father (Mitchell Wiggins) was an NBA player who starred at FSU, and married I believe an FSU Women's Volleyball star. Actually, Andrew's best friend since childhood signed his LOI for FSU as well ... interestingly, their dad's played together at FSU, then in the NBA, and then I believe lived near one another in Toronto, where Andrew and Xavier Rathan Mayes grew up together and are now on the same AAU basketball team. And, as I said, I think Andrew should go to a defense-minded HC, and Coach Hamilton is an elite defensive coach (not that the freshmen caught on this year).

Last year's success doesn't always have that much of an important role. Especially when Andrew is theoretically between FSU, Kentucky, Kansas, and UNC ... none of which it past the Sweet 16, and two of which lost in the first round of the NIT. FSU had a very young team this year, so they would be positioned to do very well with Andrew next year ... and of course Kentucky would have the great recruiting class of all time with him, with the #1 recruit at every position.

Adding Andrew to everyone we have coming back next year, though ... we would be the #2 team in the preseason polls behind Kentucky. Without a doubt.

For the record, he called our upset of Gonzaga.

Always tough to know how much to trust recruiting stuff, but his top 5 was at least recruiting him, although I don't know how many ended up offering scholarships:

Wiggins said he is being recruited by Oregon, Villanova, Wichita St., Pittsburgh and Baylor. Wiggins said that right now Wichita State and Oregon are at the top of his list. Wichita St. and Baylor have offered. He will take his official visits after the season ends and make his decision.

Why 1 and done? Because even if he didn't play any basketball next year and just waited until he's 19 he'd be a likely top 3 pick and still would have a chance at going number 1 that's why. If they hadn't changed the age limit he wouldn't be PLAYING college ball he'd be going str8 to the league.

he is definitely a one and done player and that is not in a negative light... Andrew Wiggins is of the ilk of Kevin Durant.. Kid is a superstar

[Shake-n-Bake]

Someone I knew recently spoke with Nick about Andrew, and according to this source Nick said that nobody at WSU has even contacted Andrew about coming here? Can this be possible that we have not even tried? With his reclassification to 2013 there is just no way that AW hasn't at least considered the possibilities.

She was a track star…21 time all-american and won a couple of medals in the Olympics. She's kind of a big deal.

Maybe HCGM was waiting to pitch the Shockers to Andrew in Atlanta?

I guess we can only dream what cornering the #1 draft choice in the country would do for GM's already significant recruiting program!

Make it happen, Andrew! Not only will you be great for us, but you will be a hero-for-life once you make the decision to be a Wichita State Shocker.

Cleanthony Early had a similar recruiting list including Oregon, San Diego St, and Baylor. One or two others as well, I believe.
