The top high school basketball player in the country Andrew Wiggins, who some people are saying is the next LeBron James, made his shocking decision to plays his college basketball at the University of Kansas.
Wiggins chose Kansas over Kentucky, North Carolina, and Florida State and if it wasn't for the one year rule he would be the number one pick in this year's NBA draft.
"I was shocked," Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford after the announcement.
"He said he felt it in his heart and after speaking with his family and getting their blessing to decide on where he wanted he to go that was just the pick," Fulford said.
Wiggins signed with Kansas at a small private gathering among family and friends at Huntington Prep.
This decision says a lot about Wiggins wanting to be his own man. Even the way he announced it in a private gathering with family and friends says something about his personality when usually top player announces it on a ESPN network. Wiggins just wants to play basketball.
"Bill Self's personality matches his," Fulford said. "He's laid-back like Andrew."
Lately in basketball in the pro and college you see the best players coming together to win a championship like the Miami Heat or the Kentucky Wildcats.
Kentucky already has the top recruiting class in the country and if Wiggins would have went to Kentucky they would have had the best recruiting class of all time.
Kansas had a good recruiting class with the addition of Wiggins, Kansas’ 2013 class jumps to No. 2 in the recruiting class rankings.
An elite level talent, Wiggins is a world-class athlete with impressive physical and athletic attributes. At 6-foot-8, he handles the ball well, is great defender and is a terrific transition scorer.
