Nick Wiggins 6-6 SG Class of 2012, SIGNED

[forevershockerfan]

This is what we have been talkin about. As the good Doc suggested, the 'ship count' will take care of itself. This is Kewl and yes, I dig it!!!!!!! Are we done? Dunno!!! Stay tuned!!!!!!! This is a recruiting class to remember. Shockers, start your reloaded engines!!!!!!! Why? Because we can!!!!!!!

I see another, or should I say different, big man in the Shox future...

Do you forget Wessel or do you know something we don't?

I think what @Downtown Shocker Brown: is saying that there will be 13 players on basketball scholarships for obvious reasons. I don't think he was counting number of players on the roster.

I know we all go off topic in lots of threads, but if you guys want to talk Scholarships, someone make a new thread in the basketball forum, it would actually probably be a good idea. Also if you guys want to talk about Andrew as a serious recruit, and post videos, etc. someone make a thread for him too. Thanks everyone.

Yes, another big man that can step right up and make our rotation would be what we want more than a "chick fil a" on Day 1? Okay, maybe now I am being greedy in hopes of making it a "magnificent 7" signing Season? Or maybe not? Hmmmm!!! Yikes!!!

Great news! Wiggins will fit in beautifully at the 3 (maybe 2). Early at the 3 (maybe 4) and same for Green and Hawkins. I didn't even mention PG extrodinair Van Vleet or Henry U. Serious length and athleticism on it's way in to match with the strength and experience of Armstead, Williams, Mitchell, Baker, Wessel, White, Hall and Orukpe!

I count SIX Juco AAs that HCGM has brought in over six years (Smith, Ragland, Hall, Mitchell, Early, Wiggins). Not sure if Mantas was an AA.

Message moved to thread on Men's Basketball forum.

For those that have seen him play (excluding highlights), is he a Toure Murry with a better ability to shoot?

I started a new thread on scholarships and roster predictions. This thread should be a celebration of St. Nick.

I think this just confirms the tweet I saw today from Seth Davis on his Twenty for Tuesday or whatever he calls it. Someone asked if the Shockers were rebuilding. He replied that the Shockers don't rebuild, they reload.

Who doesn't start now? Just think of the potential lineups out there.

Williams
Wiggins
Early
Hall
Ehimen

Armstead

I could do this all day. And I haven't even touched on Baker, FVV, Green or Hawkins. This definitely gives us the opportunity to RS one or both of Green/Hawkins.

It's going to be one hell of a season.

Oh.my.God.

Check out his "little" brother...

One more superlative, if I may: Holy. Sh*t-eh!

These are the kind of comments I love hearing from top quality recruits:

Before last week, Nick Wiggins wanted to visit Wichita State and then take two more visits before deciding his basketball future.

It didn’t take long for Shocker coaches and players to change those plans. Wiggins, a 6-foot-6 sophomore wing, orally committed to WSU and canceled plans to visit Baylor and Oregon State.

“I didn’t need to take other visits,” he said. “I want to be a Shocker. I felt really comfortable, like it’s a family. (I liked) the support system from the coaches and the players.”

Wiggins averaged 17.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists for Wabash Valley (Ill.) College. He plans to sign a letter of intent Wednesday, the first day of the signing period. He credited WSU assistant coach Greg Heiar with doing most of the recruiting work. He connected with Shockers Demetric Williams and Malcolm Armstead and former Shocker Joe Ragland during his visit. Then coach Gregg Marshall closed the deal by convincing Wiggins he could make the most of his two seasons. With a short stay, Wiggins wants to play, improve and win.

“He’s coached juco players and he understands my situation,” Wiggins said. “He’s a winner.”

Kudos to the Coaches and players for their work in landing a stud. Welcome to Shocker Nation Nick (Too Quick).

I will not miss the opening, home game next year, even if you have a gun on me.

The atmosphere will be electric.

I am ready for summer ball.

Nick's lil bro may be a great player but from where I'm sitting Nick has a very significant advantage over lil bro at this point.
