Following potential 2014 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

When I was coming out of high school I wanted to study Architecture. I just like the mix of creativity & science. But my dad wanted me to do Engineering. My mom was OK either way. My dad insisted I do Engineering at all cost.

In the end, I was too young to realized what I really wanted, so I went with the safe bet and chose Engineering.

I really regretted doing that as I missed being creative, Engineering was really just calculations, and I dropped out after the 1st year.


Because of this deeply personal story, I think Wiggins will go with his Dad's recommendation and go with either UNC or FSU. He'll probably regret it later on when he'll have to put the whole team on his back and trying to advance in the NCAA tourney on limited talent, but I think eventually he'll go with his Dad's choice.

I'll admit I think it very well end up that way. I'm not at all confident in this one, tbh.. funny that UK already has the #1 recruiting class, all timd, without him.. according to nearly every recruiting/ranking service... I'm just, as a fan, hoping for the ridiculously historic team......

Do you know who will have better talent next year, between UNC, KU and FSU?

If he doesn't pick UK, I think he'll go with the team with the best talent/fit for a chance to take down UK. Not hating, just my honest opinion.

I don't see that as a factor in his choice, but would have NO problem with that, fwiw.

To your answer;

UK
UNC
KU



























fsu

Yeah thought so too.. i'm sticking with UNC then..

My opinion is its down to UK and FSU.

If I were to completely ignore my sources (which these have yet to ever be wrong), I'd admit my hunch is FSU.
The fact that leaks have been nearly non-existent, the manner of his announcement (ultra quiet.. small group, no tv, and one reporter only) smells like FSU to me. Meaning, looks like a branding persona of a quiet kid that doesn't seek the camera, shuns the traditional powers for his parent's alma mater.. and quietly does work.. I 'feel' that vibe happening.

But I'm sticking by the intel....

As I have said before, UK is way to stacked with Wiggins.

I'm just happy to hear that he is finally selecting some school.

Is this a comment about PT or about it just wouldn't be fair?

Amen to that.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Just heard Wiggins has stated he will not be taking summer school at the school of his choice. That is more smoke for FSU.. Cal requires the kids to come in so they can gel as a team and get a head start on their academics. I will be almost disappointed if Cal made an exception.. even for a once in a decade player.

A little bit of both

Wow.. that would be amazing if true...

I know his parents went there, and were legends there or what have you. But to subject your own child to that is just selfish at best and childish at worst.

I mean what's the point? Andrew will have absolutely no chance at winning there whatsoever. He'll end up having to carry the team on his back most nights, and that can't be good for his still developing body. I mean, who's to say he won't get an injury playing that way (touch wood)?

Ok fine - Andrew wants to be the man - I get that - at least send him to a place where he'll get proper training, decent teammates, giving him at least a chance to shine. The risk of injury/burnout is just too great IMO. And all for what? Just to stroke the parents' egos?

Wow... I'd be beyond speechless if true.
