April 25, 201313 yr Wasn't Strickland the Director of Basketball Operations or something like that? Special Assistant to the head coach, so yes it was pretty much an opps spot...
April 25, 201313 yr Now this probably is meaningless, but I found it a bit odd.... Erin Calipari @TheErinCalipari: "Saw on KSR that a UNC fan site posted an article about how they dont want Wiggins there. In other news, I didnt want to play in the WNBA."

April 25, 201313 yr I think she is funny at times, but also in this case probably not a post to make.
April 30, 201313 yr IMO, I think he likes the spotlight and the attention and is just stringing everyone along. That is why he is waiting so long...
April 30, 201313 yr IMO' date=' I think he likes the spotlight and the attention and is just stringing everyone along. That is why he is waiting so long...[/quote'] All these #1 recruits waiting till the last moment every year are in misery.
May 1, 201313 yr John Wall and Terrence Jones decided in mid-May... Definitely not unprecedented, but I feel like the reaction is worse this time around. I'm likely misremembering.
May 1, 201313 yr All these #1 recruits waiting till the last moment every year are in misery. While this is likely true I can't help but think that is the wrong mindset for their situation.
May 1, 201313 yr I know every situation is different but I'd feel for kids who wait so late to decide, whether they enjoy it or not it has to suck at times. I bet Randle, Darkari, Harrison brothers, etc. are all glad to have it over with that way they could enjoy their senior year without the drama or attention.
May 1, 201313 yr John Wall and Terrence Jones decided in mid-May... Definitely not unprecedented, but I feel like the reaction is worse this time around. I'm likely misremembering. If Wiggins didn't claim to want to hide from the spotlight this would be different. Clearly that was a lie or misinformation. Nothing wrong with liking the spotlight, which Wiggins obviously does. He has to live up to the hype or he'll soon have the LeBron type of love or hate relationship with fans. Here's to hoping his pick is UK.
May 1, 201313 yr Wiggins is unselfish. To unselfish I think. IMO he wants UK and his parents want FSU.

Here's to hoping his pick is UK. If someone is seeking the spotlight like LeBron as you claim, where is the overflow of media coverage with Wiggins talking to everyone? Are we still implying it is his fault so many fans are hanging on every word he ISN'T speaking? Silly...
May 1, 201313 yr John Wall and Terrence Jones decided in mid-May... Definitely not unprecedented, but I feel like the reaction is worse this time around. I'm likely misremembering. John Wall announced on May 20th. Terrence Jones announced Washington on April 30th & UK on May 19th.
May 1, 201313 yr John Wall announced on May 20th. Terrence Jones announced Washington on April 30th & UK on May 19th. I will never forget the Jones announcement......:lol2: Randy when did Pat Paterson announce? I know it was like the last day you could at that time.
