Andrew Wiggins story from Pete Thamel

    He will be considered to be the go to guy at FSU and with him they are still the 4th or 5 th best team in the ACC next year. Come to UK and just play ball with other kids who knows what he's going through and share the load instead of carrying it all and being on the best team in the country and favorite to win it all and be the number one pick. No brainier if his dad can see what's best for son and not FSU.

    Absolutely. Hopefully once his parents see the campus and and see what UK can offer him, they will both understand that at the end of the day this choice is nothing more than a business decision, and him coming to UK being surrounded by other future NBA players is a no brainer

    If he chooses FSU you are right about them not being the top dog in the ACC and him coming to UK would be better for his career after college, I think we all assume that. I believe he is really only considering 2 schools UK and FSU. He wont get his national championship if he chooses FSU and it will be all but guaranteed if he comes to UK. I dont believe anyone knows who he favors not his coach or even his best friend thats how close to the vest I think he has been. At this point anyone that says he will definately go 1 place or the other is merely guessing. Since I have been said to be negative when it comes to the recruiting part of basketball I will say that I hope that he chooses UK and I think UK is the best place for him overall.

  • I'm hearing Feb 27 for his official visit to UK. His teammate XRM is selfish and I can't see that helping get Andrew to FSU either way.

    Where did you hear that about XRM? Not doubting you at all, just was curious. He to me comes across off as selfish from some stuff I've watched him. It's pretty well known that Wiggins himself is actually a very unselfish teammate isn't it?

  • I have watched XRM 7 times and he is a very selfish player. Wiggins on the other hand is very unselfish sometime to much.
