Top HS Player Andrew Wiggins To Announce College Decision Tuesday

He was promoted as the next Lebron James as early as a 13 year old 8th grader in Canada back in 2009 and prior to playing even a minute of college basketball is already projected as the #1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Many prognosticators have said he’s the best prospect on any level since Lebron but this situation is different.  Lebron never went to college, making Wiggins perhaps the best prospect entering the college ranks since…..well, ever.

By all accounts Wiggins has narrowed his choices to Florida State, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas, with Kentucky and Florida State as the probable favorites.

The Seminoles remain on his list since both of his parents once attended FSU.  Adding Wiggins would help Florida State improve upon a mediocre 9-9 season in the ACC.

If Kentucky is the choice, he would be part of a class that includes six Top 10 rated players, and would arguably be the best recruiting class in NCAA history, even more highly touted than Michigan’s Fab 5.

At North Carolina, Wiggins could be the next in a long line of superstars following Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, and Vince Carter while he would definitely be the focal point on Bill Self’s rebuilding Kansas Jayhawks squad that lost 3  seniors from the starting line-up last season.

So, is he overhyped?  Probably so, but the 6’8 forward could also be the next Jordan, Magic, or Lebron of the next generation.  An announcement is scheduled for Tuesday around 12:15, not in front of ESPN cameras, but amongst family and friends.
