    Fact is, A Wiggins choosing one of the 4 schools on his list would not "Shock" anyone, including Nick. There was a reason he tweeted it.

    No one should get their hopes up. But at the same time, if there was a school outside those 4, their is a logical basis now to conclude that it could be WSU. Whereas 3 weeks ago, there would be only 1 reason for it to happen.

    Its still exciting to imagine.

      Very glad to hear about the rule. It was so corrupt before.

        Translation:

        Andrew: Dude, Nick you're outing me. Keep it on the down low.
        Nick: Sorry, I'm just excited for next year. This town is going into orbit when you announce.
        Andrew: Call up the news guy and tell him you were screwing around so we can cool this thing off till after you win the title. Its not "shocking" if everyone has already read between the lines because you can't keep your mouth shut.

        OR:
        Marshall: Nick, keep it on the down low.
        Nick: Sorry, I'm just excited for next year. This town is going into orbit when we announce.
        Marshall: I called up Paul S. and you need to tell him you were screwing around so we can get that in the news and cool this thing off till after we win the title. I don't want any distractions until after we win.

          Anyone else find it interesting that he won't sign anywhere till after the championship? Why wait unless you are trying not to be a distraction to something still in play?

          You are either doing a spotlight grab and waiting till the hooplah is over so you can be the talk of the nation more efficiently, or you are trying not to distract a team.

          The sunshine pump is working like a well oiled machine today.

          If he was going to Kentucky, he should have announced right after they hit rock bottom and lost in the first round of the NIT. That would have energized "his" fanbase at his school to be after some disappointment.
          If he was trying to follow the family line to FSU, announce it in November because you wanted to go their all your life.

          Just saying....

            I also couldnt understand why waiting. It could just be as simple as him not wanting to take away any spotlight from his brother during this run. Regardless of where he was signing, it would take away Nick's time in the spotlight.

              No matter where Andrew goes, this has been extremely fun. The speculating and reading between the lines that are inbetween the lines is great. I know most of us on here feel that it is a super long shot, but even 3 years ago, there is no way that any of us are talking about the #1 recruit in the country coming to Wichita St. There would have been no way that any of us could have even tried to even start trying to come up with a good reason.

              We now have multiple reasons to talk about it.

                Indirect connection? . . . Steven Adams, the huge potential freshman for Pitt declared for the NBA draft yesterday. The Pitt board says his girlfriend was bent because Pitt fired the women's basketball coach , so he is now leaving because the girlfriend wasn't going to come to Pitt? Gotta love 18 year olds (and, a few 63 year olds . . .).
                If you take the high road, you won't find much traffic there . . .

                  Adams definitely isn't ready for the NBA. Good body, but he has work to do.

                                I'd rather see KU get him than UK.
