Hmmmm. He's from Georgia. His dad's name is Michael. Is he the son of the former Shocker, famed for his strange-but-deadly hook shot?

Never mind. He is!

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Nice!! I hadn't put the two together. Hopefully that helps to sway things this way.

Looks like his Mom played at Missouri State.

Chauncey's definitely got my attention now!

I thought his pops was gonna' be the next Cliff Levingston. What the hell was I thinking? Guess I'm just a homer.

He graduated from WSU? I don't remember that. Did he play all 4 years?

Wiggins was a decent player. Played during the Cohen years, if I recall.

He played only 3 years, but looks like he graduated from WSU the following year with a B.S. in Computer Science.

Michael Wiggins averaged 26 and 24 minutes his first year. It appears he must have been injured his second year. The stats don't have any minutes for his 3rd year but he must have played as much because his yearly stats don't change. Some people must remember him.

He missed the last half of his sophomore season with mono. He became a starter mid way through his freshman season and was a starter thereafter. Since I don't remember the situation, I won't speculate, but he was dismissed by Thompson the summer between his junior and senior year. There was and continued to be distractions on that team. Whether he was a cause or a casualty of those distractions, I don't know. It would appear that the rest of his life has been very stable.

Was John Smith on that team?

Was John Smith on that team?

Yep. Smiths two years at WSU coincide with Wiggins last two years.

I remembered that there was some ugliness, but my lasting impression of Wiggy was that he was a good-natured, good-character guy who played hard. Not surprised that he's been successful.

I seem to recall getting geeked because he had a good game in a rare win over Tulsa when he was freshman.
