And then he leaves for the NBA after 1 year...2 tops
That's the UK MO now under His Sliminess. This way his kids don't really have to go to any classes at all. Take Incompletes on as many 1st semester classes then no need to go to class 2nd semester since you are going to go pro. Such a joke

Only way he is in college for two years is if Daggum Roy gets his hands on him and holds him back like he does with all the top level recruits he gets.

All but one of UK's one-and-dones under Calipari have left school in good academic standing, that means completing second semester classes. But hey, that doesn't fit your clueless agenda so carry on.

It's already the greatest in history regardless of where Wiggins goes. Six All-Americans, Fab Five only had four. #1 player at four positions. Six top-20 players. Some classes may end up having better players down the road, but on paper, which is how recruiting classes are ranked, nothing comes close to touching this one.

ESPN has him ranked #2 overall, only because Wiggins reclassified. I think Wiggins is a great athlete and personally, I hate to admit it, but I wouldn't mind Parker vs. Wiggins in the battle for the blues next season.

That was a year ago and SI is clueless about recruiting and at the time it was already well known from recruiting experts that Wiggins was the best HS player on the planet.

Anyone who says that they know it's between two schools is lying. No I'm not calling you a liar, just whoever it was that said it is the liar.

Oh ok, so arguably the #1 sports publication on the planet doesn't know what they are talking about? They aren't the only ones that have compared Parker to LeBron that I've read. Look, I take nothing away from Wiggins he's a great athlete and whoever lands him will be very fortunate, just don't forget about Parker, he's been playing well in the prep games and has been nothing less than awesome in HS.Personally, I think FSU lands him, I'd rather see him at *gulp* UNC simply to heat up those games next season, but I think the family ties are too tight for him to go anywhere else. Regardless, we'll see Jabari vs. Andrew next season and beyond, I think it could be a great rivalry in the works.

:roll: Yep, and that #1 sports publication's #1 basketball recruiting writer works for Rivals, who just so happens to rank Jabari Parker #4. I can't even begin to imagine how good Wiggins, Julius Randle, and Aaron Gordon are if they are better than the best HS player since LeBron.

But keep on living in your dream world, I'll live in reality where all the experts say Wiggins is the best.

Well Scout and ESPN have Wiggins/ Parker 1 and 2 so I guess those experts must be misinformed. Its just a matter of opinion at this point and after watching the prep games this season, I am very happy that Jabari is coming to Durham next season.
They're not misinformed. They have Parker correctly ranked behind Wiggins. But you can't be the best HS player since LeBron if no one has you ranked #1 in your class or position!

It really just amazes me the amount of stuff people are making up about this Andrew Wiggins recruitment. UNC "insiders" telling people on the Scout or Rivals premium message boards that Wiggins and his HS coach had a conference call yesterday with Self, Williams, and Hamilton. Saying one coach got angry and hung up because someone giggled on the call! Who in their right mind would ever believe this garbage?

Yeah, and UNC insiders say he's going to UNC. and Kentucky insiders say he is going to Kentucky. What next, the sky is blue and the water is wet? Throw evidence out on the table. And no, I am not mad at you, I'm just sick of all these people going on the message boards and trying to act like they are some sort of insider with "sources" that knows where Wiggins is going and spews out a bunch of filth that is nothing short of 100% fabricated. We've got people for at least three fan bases knowingly lying to their fans with "insider information" and "sources" and they making people pay to hear these lies by subscribing to the premium message boards, it's a scam in my opinion.

I never said I had more, so what's your point?

It's already been said he will sign a letter of intent, and Wednesday is the last day to sign, so if that is true, looks like this drawn out saga will end this week. At this point I'll be happy with any decision just so it'll be over with because I'm sick of waiting on it. He could sign a letter of intent for the Taliban for all I care, as long as he just freaking picks someone! Obviously one of his four finalists would make me a lot happier though :)

Wrong. Directly from the NCAA website.

"You may sign an NLI only during the designated signing period. If you sign an NLI outside the appropriate signing period, the NLI shall be considered invalid"

The end of the basketball signing period is the 15th. He can not legally sign after that date.
