The House of Blue

I wasn't really trying to compare that problem with other schools if that's how it came off. It was more about whether or not the Young commitment caused him to explore his options.

Like I said in the other Wiggins thread, I'm not overly worried about this. He's a kid and opinions/thoughts change with the wind. We will have the most talented team in the country with or without him. We shall see what happens in the end.

I would lean that way as well that's why I said I think one could come back and I'm sure that's what schools going against us here are pitching.

He sure is. Finally one of these guys is speaking the truth.

Ole Jerry is wrong about this one. Andrew is not trying to play any games, maybe he is getting some others out to watch some of his teammates but he is not trying to mess with people about what he has said about UK in 2013. It will amaze me if he changes his mind on the situation. As I type Andrew just got to meeting location with Roy Williams. Hopefully will have some better updates later tonight. Andrew is not practicing with the team today so he can goto meeting so it doesn't look like Roy will be scouting any if his buddies on the team either.

DRP just curious I know you're friends with his coach but are you talking to Andrew directly?

This just doesn't make sense, a top player tells a high school kid before he tells coach Cal that I'm not coming to UK. Then why not just come out and drop UK? You may have some inside information but I don't think you are in the know as much as you might think. Yes you have info that is coming from the coach I give you that but to say it came from Andrew's mouth before he tells Cal makes this seem a little made up. Why would he drag UK on if he is defineltly not coming and then tell you before Calipari? If he said that then I would think he isn't going to reclassify because UK is still in this recruitment I think most anybody would agree. What you are saying here may be true but he's not telling you before he tells Calipari to think otherwise is just ridiculious.

Now I see why all of the other people with knowledge of situations are reluctant to post on here because of all the people that just straight up can't except the answers they don't want to hear some of the time. I have no freakiing clue why he has not dropped them , he is a 17 year old kid who totally enjoys being a kid and is not really ready for this decision. All I am reporting is what was said straight from the horses mouth a couple of days ago. Wow. Some of you people amaze me. I have been following recruiting for a long long time and understand that this does not make since to us UK folks but it is what it is at the moment. I am sure Cal and the staff will do all they can to make sure he ends up in Lex. The visit with Roy went well this afternoon, they met for about 30 minutes and then Andrew did end up practicing and Roy stayed and watched the practice. It was at the rec center on the campus of Marshal University. During the practice lots of Marshal students caught wind that Roy was there and had some photo ops with him. There was also a reporter there from USA today, the one who did the story on the Harrison Twins. Roy was upset about that story as Turgeon he thought was given the shaft in that particular article. He thought the article gave Turgeon zero credit for the recruiting job he had done on the twins and all of the credit went to under armour. So therefore Roy wanted nothing to do with him. Anyway that is the latest. The other schools are set to visit this week and if I am able to get anymore info I will share it with those of you who would like to hear the story. By the way, today was Roys longest recruiting trip since his medical scare and he was glad to make the trip.

Your problem is you are speaking in absolutes. In your sources opinion Wiggins will not play at UK if he reclassifies. Fine we will accept that. To act like it is a lock is false and not the reality of the situation. Personally, I will take the word of people that are affiliated with CIA Bounce and the Canadian side of things, that is where this recruitment is being controlled. I'm sure coach Fulford can confirm that if you ask him. I guess we will see who is getting correct information when it is all is said and done.

Everyone is free to post information and we all appreciate it....doesn't mean that we have to accept it as words from god himself. If any of you want to rip me or not believe my information, go ahead, I don't care. Some of you need to grow thicker skin. You are not the only person on this planet with information on Andrew Wiggins. A lot of people have information from great sources that tell them UK is in a great position and this is all part of the recruiting game(Eric Bossi, Jerry Meyer, TGH, GregNJ to name a few).

Your exact words were "Andrew is not trying to play any games, maybe he is getting some others out to watch some of his teammates but he is not trying to mess with people about what he has said about UK in 2013."

Well, if what you're saying is true, then I completely disagree that he is not playing games and/or messing with people. Wiggins is in fact playing games with the UK staff if he is going to tell you that they are out of his recruitment, but not actually tell them.

If he told you straight from his own mouth that there is no chance he commits to UK in '13, then a decision regarding UK has already been made; otherwise, he wouldn't have told you of said decision. So, by not also notifying Cal and the UK staff of that same decision, and stringing them along is in fact playing games and messing with people.

No need for you to apologize. Trust me, we all appreciate you posting what you hear and I sincerely hope you continue to do so. It's always good to hear information from all sides of the spectrum. It's interesting and creates great discussion on this board.

I think it's obvious DRP is getting legit info. But, as Madison / iaonnis said, sometimes things aren't as cut and dried as they seem. Let's let this one play out.
