Andrew Wiggins Class of 2013 to KU

[Rlh04d]

If Andrew doesn't choose WSU, I'll be somewhat disappointed. The reason: He doesn't think that, even with him on the team, WSU can win the National Championship. WSU may reach the Final Four again next year without him. I think he should consider that.

That's not what it says at all ....

[Rlh04d]

50-50 chance he'll be getting paid regardless of who he announces for.

I heard we paid Carl Hall and Malcolm Armstead to play for us, too.

I heard it on the internet, so it must be true.

WSU isn't even on his radar at this point...sorry guys...nor are our coaches concerned with where he's going.

I understand your concerns about not pointing fingers, and defending a school of which you are a fan and has not done wrong. That said, allegations and suppositions that the likes of Calipari are cheating isn't exactly classless, inferiority-complex, finger-pointing.

The thing that is so discerning to me is why not young man??? In a world of so much materialistic values and soooo much vanity at the top of most peoples minds (especially young peoples)....why is it sooooooooooooo impossible for a young 5-star player to see the forest through the trees???

I mean...
1. He's only gonna play one year more than likely.
2. His brother is only gonna play at Wichita St. for one more year so they could be teammates.
3. The Shocker program has one of the Top-5 coaches in college basketball.
4. Support for the program is one of the BEST in the country.
5. AND..........the team just came off a Final Four tear who has enough talent to REPEAT!!!

I just don't get it. It would seem like a no-brainer to me. Oh well....do what everyone else does young man. Go get that vanity. And good luck!!! Sincerely!!!

If Andrew does annouce tomorrow my guess is FSU. What is your guess?

My guess is Bill Self won't play the Wiggins family's game, we know Kentucky will and FSU may as well, so I say it's down to those 2.

Leaving out Florida State which has special significance to his family:
3. Self. Williams. Calipari. It seems Marshall isn't a "no-brainer" amongst this list of very successful coaches.
4. Kansas. North Carolina. Kentucky. It seems Marshall isn't a "no-brainer" amongst this list of the best supported programs in the country.
5. Kentucky will have more talent on their roster than anyone else in the country. North Carolina is generally ranked higher than the Shox in the preseason polls. Kansas is in the same ballpark as WSU next year.

Yes, the possibility to play with his brother can happen only at WSU, but please don't act like this is an unexplainable decision if he chooses somewhere other than Wichita State.

what does playing with his brother gain him?? his goal is to learn, get better and improve his draft stock, he should go where he thinks he can achieve those, playing with your brother is a lame excuse to make when choosing a program to attend.

because all that is assumed no matter which school he chooses. so you begin looking at secondary reasons to a particular school.

Here's a secondary reason: Wichita State isn't on his list of schools. If we're going to play the assumption game, then I have to assume he's not interested in WSU whatsoever or he'd have us on his list.

This might come as a surprise for a lot of you, but not everyone wants to be a Shocker.

From what I've read/heard, KU has actually been the #2 team behind Florida State lately in the recruiting game. So apparently Bill is playing whatever game you think the Wiggins family is hosting.

According to Jeffrey Parson (the sports guru in the know from Wichita Kansas), Wiggans would never consider WSU. Why would he? Some people on here may think like him too. :)

For those who think Nick has a special bond with Andrew and that's why Andrew would come here...keep in mind Andrew has not seen his brother play even ONCE. Not to mention the fact that Nick's parents have been here maybe one time. Nick is an after thought with that family and it's really sad. All they are concerned with is Andrew's payday.

Maybe, but they're having enough issues with the Ben Mclemore fiasco...they don't need more of the same.

I feel like you're assuming an awful lot here. How many times has Nick gone to see Andrew play? They're kids in college playing on opposite sides of the US and both playing at the same time. It's not like AW's had all of this free time and ability to come to Wichita to see Nick play and chosen not to.

And how many times have AW's parents gone to see AW play? They live in Canada and he's playing in West Virginia.

I still feel pretty confident about FSU.

However, there are some rumors going around that FSU's overseas trip this year might hurt their chances, as his host-mother has said he doesn't want to attend summer school. FSU is the only one of the four with a summer trip.

I don't see Kentucky at all.
