Just spoke with a source close to Andrew Wiggins, and there is still no word on him reclassifying...YET. Andrew wants to participate in the McDonalds All-American game. For that to be possible, he has to decide by Nov. 1 if he is going to reclassify, so we should hear something any day now.
Now to the reason for all the uproar today about Wiggins' recruitment. Andrew talked to recruiting guru Evan Daniels yesterday and said he wanted to invite other major schools ( Kansas, UNC, and Ohio State ) to recruit him. The reason for this statement was because everyone thought it was a two horse race between UK, and Florida State for Wiggins' services. The fact is, that was just everyones assumption, Andrew nor anyone close to him said it was between those two schools. Because of this assumption, one has to believe the other schools didn't feel the need to show much interest. Andrew was letting it be known that his recruitment is "wide open" at this point. UNC, Kansas, and Ohio State was always recruiting Wiggins that's nothing new, just not as heavy as UK and FSU. After the "wide open" statement, I imagine the heat from those schools, and others will pick up tremendously now.
On the heels of this news, Roy Williams was in Huntington, WV today to visit with Andrew, and I'm told the visit "went well". No matter if Andrew reclassifies or not there's one thing you can bet on, two schools that will be in it until the bitter end will be Kentucky and Florida State.
