The Andrew Wiggins Sweepstakes

I'd take an efficient 9 ppg and 5 apg along with great defense over an inefficient 14 ppg, 7 rpg, and nonexistent defense . :dunno:

Hariston and... Who? JMM? Meh. He's not exactly scaring anyone, either.

Frazier shot very well as a freshman and has the potential to be a great spot-up shooter with more experience. Wilbekin is a very good point guard and a great on-ball defender. They may not scare you, but they'll beat you. That's even assuming Hill struggles (which he probably won't). Taurean Green and Lee Humphrey wasn't exactly a "scary" backcourt, either, but it was a damn good one.

Yeah, assuming you have two NBA All-Star upperclassmen in the frontcourt.

Look, Wilbekin is a good player that most teams would love to have. If you're touting him as one of your stars, though, that's not a good sign barring an incredible offseason.

So is Ohio State in trouble because Aaron Craft is one of their "stars?"

@GoodmanCBS: Been told Andrew Wiggins has canceled his home visits with Kansas, UNC and Florida State early this week.

Let Wiggins go to UK. We still won't be scared playing them this year. :thumbsup:

This isn't a sign of who he's picking...he's quoted as saying he's just tired from the west coast trip and has 2 flights ready cancelled. Regardless of what happened he was already going to miss his first in home, he's tired and just wants to rest so he's gonna talk to the coaches by phone instead.

I still think he ends up at Florida St. His parents will impact his decision.

You're right. After some pause and consideration, I overreacted on my last post. This doesn't necessarily mean anything. I will say this, however: if he does end up at UK, just as the SEC single-handedly gave us a football playoff (despite what outsiders say), Cal will single-handedly be responsible for the permanent abolition of the one year rule. Maybe not next year or the one following, but you have to believe it would create quite a bit of backlash among those who, quite frankly, and despite his apparent coolness, have much more power than Cal.

Only if they win. There have been some pretty damned talented college basketball teams that have not been able to bring home any trophies. Remember, in college basketball, it only takes one off night in March and you're done.

One thing about Calapari is that he's an elite recruiter, but an average coach. With all the talent he had this year, you'd think he'd least make it to the NCAA tournament but instead he gets beat in the first round of the NIT. With all the talent he has coming in this year, there shouldn't be any excuse for him to not make the NCAA tournament. It also depends if his players can work together and not be selfish which I highly doubt that they will. I mean for lords sake, some of his players think they can take MJ 1 on 1. If Calapari fails like he did this year, UK fans aren't going to be happy with him at all!

People like to say this, and think they sound smart when they do, but it's not even remotely true. And if you think he's even close to being on the hot seat, you're insane.

Makes perfect sense until you count that Noel went out midseason.

He's no K, but to discount his ability is foolish.

With Tennessee's copious talent, how far did they get?


lol at the hot seat comment.

You need to study basketball.

I didn't say he would be in the hot seat. I'm just saying that UK fans won't be too happy if he misses the tournament again cause basketball is the most important thing to them. I live in Kentucky, I know how they operate.
