Wiggins is a gigantic get...KU has never had a recruit walk in with this hype

this is a Rose/Walls/Durant level kid by all accounts

next year's team is going to be ****ing sick

Embiid a 7ft freak

Me neither. Dakari Johnson is nailed to the floor.

However, Julius Randle is a mother****ing beast, and I love his style of play. Very jealous of that one.

But HOT HOLY SHIT WE JUST GOT THE GAME ENDER.

I wonder if GOD approves of him being such an asshole? :spock:

I can't believe he went away from PayPal Cal.

I thought even with all the FSU talk he would end up with PayPal. I guess he still could. When is the last day he can transfer without losing a year of eligibility? August?

Jimp

At work and just heard the news. Rock Chalk!

Kansas just landed Andrew Wiggins and the Jayhawks have Memphis transfer Tarik Black on campus. Could be a huge day in Lawrence.

Yea we're gonna get his ass too.

Memphis junior Tarik Black to graduate and transfer
April 9, 2013 7:56 am ET

Memphis forward Tarik Black will graduate this semester and transfer to another school for a final year of basketball, Tigers coach Josh Pastner told CBSSports.com early Tuesday.

Black is expected to announce the same later Tuesday.

"Tarik has decided to transfer," Pastner said. "I'm so proud of him graduating in the spring. We wish him nothing but the very best. I'm at peace with it."

Once considered the possible "face of the program," Black, a Memphis native, averaged a career-low 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in a career-low 20.8 minutes this year, mostly because he was almost as likely to get a foul as he was a rebound while on the court despite the fact that he's 6-foot-9, 260 pounds and athletic.

Pastner told CBSSports.com he has "no idea" where Black will transfer. The only restriction on the former top-50 recruit is that he will not be released to any school on the Tigers' schedule, Pastner said.

I really wasn't expecting KU to win out on this one.

ROFL:LOL:

OMG I laughed out loud in my class and I'm giving the Exit Exam.

Holy shit. What a great get for KU.

asian kid at the end is hilarious

Damn KU got Wiggins. Which booster opened up the checkbook, because you know Kentucky was.

Well, let's wait and see where Mr. Daddy Wiggins ends up on payroll....

Greatest incoming KU class ever...?

It is hyped that way.

Is this guy the best HS prospect since Lebron?

Water is wet.

The sky is blue.















j/k :D

Rumor has it.

ROFL

ROFL

Uh....sure. It didn't hurt.

Coach Self>>>>>>GHCOAT

What a kickass job......

WTF is that idiot? A UK fan?

Andrew Wiggins will attend Kansas.

You've heard the kid's name a lot in the past 48 hours, and if you're a college hoops die-hard, you've known about Wiggins for at least a year. Let's get to the rundown on Wiggins so you can be more informed on a player who's likely to become a superstar in college and is currently seen as the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

The surprise regarding Tuesday's decision: Why didn't he pick Florida State? His dad, former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins, went there. As did Mom (Marita Payne), who competed in the Olympics. And, a prospect named Xavier Rathan-Mayes, who happens to be Wiggins' good friend, is also going to ball for Leonard Hamilton. The KU pick speaks to Wiggins; he's a bit mysterious and keeps a lot close to the vest. Kansas was considered the third favorite, behind FSU and Kentucky. Yet he's headed to Lawrence.

The basics on Wiggins:

DOB: Feb. 23, 1995 (in Toronto).
Height: 6 feet, 8 inches
Weight: 195 pounds
Stat line: 23.4 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 2.6 BPG, 2.5 APG, 2.4 SPG
Position: Combo forward
Awards: 2013 Naismith Prep Player of the Year and Gatorade National Player of the Year
High School: Huntington Prep School (Huntington, W.V.)
AAU team: CIA Bounce (Anthony Bennett, Tyler Ennis, Rathan-Mayes have also played for Bounce)

A year early. Last October, Wiggins reclassified to the Class of 2013. He was originally on pace to graduate in 2014, which would've made Duke's Jabari Parker the No. 1 recruit in this class. Why, it wasn't even a year ago that Sports Illustrated proclaimed Parker to be the best prep recruit since LeBron James. Now he's not even the best in his class. The Wiggins-Parker storyline is one that I'd like to keep an eye on, though. Both will be on teams playing with good Final Four hopes.

He doesn't like attention. No, it's true! And that adds to the irony of this. Wiggins has taken a really long time to decide, but he made his pick in relatively private quarters on Tuesday, signing a letter of intent while surrounded by family and classmates -- and just one media member. We should note that Kansas is a heavy college hoops media market, though. Wiggins will be stepping into a whole new kind of life a few months from now.

Skill set. Well, being the No. 1 overall recruit in this class and perceived as the best in a decade, naturally, Wiggins does so many things well. Watch the video below as proof. One thing that stands out to me: The kid cracks off the floor and adjusts his body to dunk with such ease. And he's a premier defender. The dunks get the lion's share of the video, but Wiggins will be one of the best without the ball next season, too. At this moment, defense is his forte.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GLsK-ZoL9sY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

He's not LeBron James. Just because he's considered the best prospect since James doesn't mean he has the same game. Wiggins most certainly doesn't, and no one (thankfully) has gone so far as to say Wiggins will be as good/better than James. He's a tantalizing athletic prospect with a natural feel for the game. Though his body has matured, his game has a ways to go before he's truly elite. James was better at this point than Wiggins is.

The real deal. Wiggins has been at the top of his class list since he was ranked, though. He was No. 1 for 2014 for a few years until he switched to 2013. Part of his decision to go to Kansas could be loosely attached to the fact his brother, Nick, will be a senior at Wichita State. The schools are a little more than two hours apart.

One last thing to know. Beyond the talent is a continuing trend of something pretty positive. Wiggins -- like Parker, like Kevin Durant, like Greg Oden, like a lot of top prospects in recent years -- is pretty humble. Talented but not brash. He's not concerned with his image and keeps to himself. You'll inevitably read more about this. The nature of recruiting coverage in 2013 means a lot of players receive a lot of attention and are propped up from their early teens. Many don't handle it well or the right way. Wiggins seemingly does, and it's really important to future players to see the way that some of the best have gone about being the best. It's a new model, one that a lot of people didn't think was possible in AAU culture.

Dude won't be 19 until February.

I wouldn't go as far to say that because there have been some damn good prospects coming out of High School, but he's right up there with the best of them. John Wall, OJ Mayo, Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, etc...

There is a lot of truth to this comment, a lot!

I said all along, he will end up at Kansas, even after Randall bailed out when it was first thought Randall & Wiggins would come together or end up together.

Nice recruiting class Bill, now let's do some damage next year with it.

Just think of how many wide open 3's Frankamp will be knocking down next year when entire defenses collapse in the paint to stop Wiggins from getting to the rim at will. Greene and White too.

I don't think we will struggle to score next year.

Tharpe
Selden
Wiggins
Ellis
Embiid

White
Fran
Greene
Traylor
Mason
Lucas


Not a bad squad considering we return 0 starters from last years team

I keep stealing these from phog, but they work.....

At UK he had to buy into the team first concept. He wasn't willing to do that obviously.

Easily the best since Kevin Durant

I don't know if I should :banghead: or ROFL so I think I'll just :whackit:

we are going to run, dunk, and pop 3's like we haven't quite seen under Self, I think....frankamp can just spot up while teams are worrying about selden, embiid, wiggins, ellis..


holy mother

embiid and wiggins could legitimately be the two most athletic players in college ball next year...

LOL, that's rich. A little as a year ago, everyone was using the "team first" concept as a negative recruiting tool against Kansas because we were TOO team oriented, not allowing individual freedom.

This is bothering Kentucky ALOT. Yes overall their class may be ranked higher when all combined. But the fact that KU has the phenom who is head and shoulders above everyone else is something they aren't going to get over.

kentucky's team first-ness is what led them all the way to a first round NIT loss with last year's #1 recruiting class....

Best birthday present ever.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HAHA!

HA!

Dude.

HBD dude.

I hope Self opens up the floor to accommodate Wiggins and our plethora of 3point shooters. Im sure hes smart enough to do that. Its gonna be a fun yr. Rebuilding? Ha. Nah

Who loses all 5 starters and still is national title favorites (year in and year out)? KU mother ****ers.

Why is the Jayhawk in the back ground upside down?

Madness I say.

PBJ PBJ PBJ

LMAO

Keitzman says (paraphrased)

The Royals have the #1 draft pick and take Luke Hocheaver. The Chiefs have the top pick and try to figure out who the safest tackle to pick is. But the Jayhawks lose all the starters, have a need and they land the best player since LeBron James. At least someone around here got it right.

Awesome Get! Super excited man!

@jojo_embiid: BIG Welcome to the Family @22wiggins let s get to work and win all next year #KUCMB #KUbball

Huge freaking score for you guys, top player in the country hands down.

Oh, that's right. I forgot that good things to tend to happen when Bill Self is involved. He's pretty damn good at his job.

KU elevates immediately into national championship contender status next year with this one. Very excited to see Wiggins and this team next year now.

Congrats Jayhawk fans...

He won't be there but a year but it should be a helluva year....
