I prefer you say UK and use an exclamation point at the end of your statement to imply that you know with an absolute certainty that's where he will be.

I defer to your wisdom and knowledge on all things under the recruiting umbrella, I only ask because I heard some one on the radio on the drive home this afternoon speculate that he would indeed reclassify.

What has changed? Was there a development over the summer that'll help him complete 2 years school in 1.

It was always on the table, was just a matter of him deciding if he wanted to take on that much work. What changed is he dominated the basketball world this summer and there is really no point in him doing an extra year of high school if he doesn't have to. He's going to be taking on one heck of a workload, but it makes sense given how things went in July if he is willing. Sounds like he is, and I think the news will come out this week...

This UK class could get just downright filthy.

Could you imagine a class of.....

Harrisons
Wiggins
Rathan-Mayes/James Young
Willis

and possibly one of Aaron Gordon or Julius Randle.

Nice to be able to have the options and choices he has right now. Hope he ends up at UK of course...2013-14 could be a crazy good year.

Not saying it's going to happen, but if UK got Wiggins, Harrison twins, Young, and Randle or Gordon for 2013, that would be the greatest recruiting class in basketball history. That would be the new fab 5!

Wiggins coach says to expect a decision "really soon" regarding the 2013 reclassification question.

Have to decide by the start of school or he isn't going to have a chance to make up what is needed...

I don't want to go back through all these posts, but didn't someone say that Wiggins is not a redshirt? If so, wouldn't he be graduating at 16, or maybe 17, years old? Not that that's a problem. From what I've seen of him on highlights he is definitely more than ready for the next level regardless of his age.

He is the same age as most 2013 recruits, just didn't start high school until a year later...

^ He's older than Jabari Parker, isn't he?

How would you rate the 2013 top five if Wiggins is included?

I think if you add those names up they some how equal #9.

Don't get the Randle to Duke vibe, but not bad...

UNC for Randle? NC State? I thought he'd for sure he'd land in the ACC.

I still have faith that he will be a part of the BBN.
