What is Andrew Wiggins going to do? Is the Huntington (W.Va.) Prep standout going to pick Kentucky, Florida State, North Carolina or Kansas?
Wiggins has set no timetable for when he might pick a school, and a source close to him says that decision might not come quite as quickly as some are expecting from the nation's top-ranked prep player.
"I can make arguments for why he might pick any of his four final choices. At the end of the day I think that Andrew will choose based on his comfort level with the school and the coaches," the source said. "I have no idea how he's leaning. No one knows but Andrew and he may not know yet. I think it will still be some time before he's ready to announce a decision. He has some big games coming up and I think he will be focused on those for the next few weeks."
Wiggins will play in the McDonald's All-American Game in Chicago Wednesday. He has the Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit to follow later in April.
However, don't doubt that UK fans in the Huntington area could help influence Wiggins' decision.
"The BBN is alive and well in Huntington and the Tri-state area. I think even non-Kentucky fans would enjoy seeing Andrew at Kentucky because it will make it easy to follow him in college. Canada is his home but I think he has enjoyed his time in Huntington. I hope being close to his second home will be a plus in the Kentucky column," the source said.
"Andrew is well deserving of all the accolades he has received. He's a phenomenally skilled athlete and player. He makes big plays look easy. I've seen him play now for two years and am still amazed by what he does. It's fun to bring someone to a game who has never seen him and see their reactions. We will be watching Andrew Wiggins highlights for years to come. Off the court he's a sweetheart. Can't help but want to see him succeed."
