Not shocking.

Whoopty doo.

There wasn't much playing time for him next year anyway. It would have been nice to have him as an upperclassman though.

I'll miss the .gifs.

Yeah we're loaded next year. He wouldn't see the court with the talent that's coming in at the backcourt.

Rio not surprising anyone. Hopefully his scholarship goes to good use. Lot's upheaval to come with transfers and recruits reneging on verbal commitments. Hopefully Bill can make a move late.

Honestly, after hearing that Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress are coming back to UK and looking at their incoming class (with the addition of Wiggins likely) I don't see how all of those recruits suit up for UK next year.

They won't. Have to think there will be some decommits/transfers coming out of there.

Word is that despite recent rumblings KU is still strongly in the running for Wiggins. But I doubt he'll come to KU.

I was watching this recruiting show on ESPNU yesterday and as far as UK goes they brought up the same point: Most kids want to play (that's why Rio is leaving) and a lot of talented players won't get a lot of minutes at UK that they would have at another school. No kid wants to "be apart of the best recruiting class in history" like what Cal is allegedly feeding this kids and the public, they mostly care about playing and getting to the NBA. As the guy on the show stated, you can't get showcased properly by playing limited minutes or in a backup role. He then gave the other guy a look and waved his hand in front of his face alluding something fishy is going on then they started talking football recruiting.

It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when Cal is going down.

How? They already signed LOIs. They can't go unless released. And why would Cal release a #1 signee at his position? These toolbox idiots sign early with Cal in the Fall without even waiting to see departures or over-signs. They deserve their fate. YOu're going to have some guys riding pine all year who would start at 90% of D1 schools.


I hope Wiggins goes there if not KU. I hope they keep stacking these losers on the end of benches, so future recruits say: "Whoa. I may not want to sign with Cal just yet. Maybe I'll do the smart thing and wait until I know more about the rosters." Any top-20 guy who signs before the Spring period is an idiot unless he's replacing a departing Senior or a McLemore type.

@Next718star: Andrew Wiggins #kubball Join Us...

When is Wiggins deciding so that we can put it behind us?

There was a post on Jayhawk slant about a month ago that said that Rio was going to be transferring next year and not of his own volition.

This was before all of the Rio anger tweets.

The guy - for what it's worth - also said that the Wiggins recruiting was very much for real, that Frank Mason is going to be a four year starter at point guard, and something else I can't remember.

Anyway, this was right after some KU event and the guy is friends with one of the AC. Take it for what you will, but there's one of his predictions (one I didn't believe) that has come true.

May 15, according to an LJW article (interview/comment by Wiggins' mother).

This is true. Self hates Rio, which I've heard from two difference sources who would know such things. No shock he's out

Exactly.

I'm optimistic more often than not, but there's no way we land Wiggins.

I won't be upset if we don't.
