The House of Blue

I think you may be giving up on the prospect of getting Wiggins a little too soon. I've recently seen opinions from several UK insiders who still feel very confident about our chances with Wiggins. Don't give up yet ... I haven't.

By the way I think Wiggins is still Cals #1 target and with Cal you can never count UK out of the picture till the recruit says we are out.

If, and that's a BIG IF we land both 40-0 is a very real possibility. Would love to land both but find it hard to believe. Hope you're right.

I legitimately think the fact that Wiggins has played like at least 4 games in the state of Kentucky, as well as UK fans practically being at every single one of his games will help UK as well. I know all his FSU connections and what not, but he's going to have to sit down and look at it. At FSU next year, if he goes there his draft stock could fall due to XRM and Wiggins being constantly double teamed as FSU's only true threats to score. At UK meanwhile, Wiggins could thrive as if he gets double teamed, it would open up Aaron Harrison or James Young on the perimeter, or possibly Johnson or Lee down low. To me, it's a pretty easy choice, even if I had his connections. You ultimately need to do what's best for YOURSELF, not your family, not your high school teammate. Overall, his future at UK would be MUCH brighter than that of at FSU. But my name isn't Andrew Wiggins, so I don't know. Oh, and did I mention a national title?? 99.9% sure that won't happen at FSU.

We need both guys IMO to go 40-0. We might also need a 5th year transfer type that can provide leadership and I would prefer him to be a long lockdown defender.

A 5th year guy that you mentioned would be a valuable piece for a team that is going for a 40-0 season. Im not so sure both players are needed to achieve that kind of season. Both would be great but just not to hopeful that will happen. UK will get Wiltjer back and depending on WCS and his situation with the injury could be back also. Before the injury I had WCS going into the draft but now that is somewhat foggy depending on the length of time he is out. If he were to come back then KY would be next to unstoppable next year and I definately think that team will gel and form a great cohesive team very early in the season unlike this years players.

Wow that would be a sell job, wouldn't it? If CAL could pull this off he should run for President. And sleepy, I think Randle and CAL have had a special relationship since early. You knew right after his injury Cal called him and said he had a scolly with Kentucky if he could play or not. That impressed him and his family alot. And with Wiggins, when I hear that Wiggins played somewhere in a big tournament and Cal & staff did not go, then I will believe that Wiggins is off the board with Kentucky but only then.

UKlaw, thats cool. What I posted was just an opinion that I have come to based on the articles that I have read and I respect your opinion, a lot of people feel the same way you do and that is fine. I would be so excited if we get Wiggins b/c it would take next years team to a whole different level than they will be anyway. I am basing my opinion that Randle is the more likely of the 2 to come to KY on the relationship that Cal has with Randle and the official visit reaction that Randle had and put in his USATODAY blog. I just havent heard a lot about what kind of relationship that Cal and Wiggins have. Wiggins knows all about UK and an official visit wouldnt be needed but he will take it anyway per Wiggins himself.
