Heh... No Bloomington or Chapel Hill listed in that survey?? ..... and they claim to be college basketball fans. Yeah, right.

Yeah cause Kentucky is a hot bed of NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL also.

Another stat they would lead in: Fucking their cousins.

What the fuck is Bloomington a hotbed for? Besides court-storming and circle-jerking. Oh yeah, bicycle races. C'mon Cutter....

You mean after all these years, Indiana still storms the court?? Heh.

Its sorta sad to watch UK fans act like bitter losers.

not unexpected though

Understandable.....

Scout's #2 ranked 2014 SF Justin Jackson commits to Carolina. Already got the #4 ranked PG who I've seen compared to Jason Williams. Guys on IC saying Jackson is a 6'8" version of Joe Forte. I can live with both of those if they pan out like that...

Now bring on Andrew Wiggins so Roy can get No. 3 and turn the reins over to Wes Miller...

Wiggins will be a Seminole....

I'm hoping we get Randle.

Gordon doesn't appear to want to leave the west coast

Randle looks like he's going to be a beast. I hope he goes to KU just to spread the wealth around (can't have UK getting everybody). Then we get Wiggins and, based on that, sign Vaughn or Pinson to round out a monster class for '14. Ol' Roy ain't gonna stay down too long...

Wiggins really would be a perfect fit at UNC. We'll have a seasoned, veteran team back, esp. if McAdoo returns, yet no true superstar, so Wiggins can play that role. Although after the Harrison Barnes situation, I'm leery of pinning all my hopes on a freshman being an AA level superstud. But I'll gladly take my chances on Wiggins...

it would be a major coup for Roy to get Wiggins.

I didn't think UNC was in his top 2, so that would give Roy's recruiting prowess a bit of a jolt in the arm.

I would be pleasantly surprised if Wiggins landed at UK - he just doesn't seem to thrilled to share time with anyone. Roy better have an answer for him on that.

I couldn't even tell you who our 2014 commits are, but neither one of those names you mentioned jumped out at me as targets for UK

Randle tweeted a picture of him wearing a Wildcats shirt if that is anything to get excited about.

gonzaga 1 seed and new mexico 2 seed out west

my money would be on the 3 or 4 seed although gonzaga beat our ass

don't think Roy will have anyone close to Wiggins' ability, unlike Cal who will probably sit Noel if he comes back next year

Roy hasn't landed a top 5 player since Barnes. most championship teams have a top 5 player or at least the No. 1 player at his position.

Wiggins will be in attendance at the Dook game. A good showing and a fired up crowd could have an effect on him. Of course, a shitty showing and dead crowd could also have an effect...

Actually, according to IC, this is the list of attendees to the Dook game:

Class of 2013
* Andrew Wiggins - Official Visit
* Kennedy Meeks - Signee
* Nate Britt - Signee
* Isaiah Hicks - Signee (could attend only if his team loses in the NCHSAA playoffs on Fri night)

Class of 2014
* Justin Jackson - Committed, Unofficial Visit
* Rashad Vaughn - Offered, Unofficial Visit
* Theo Pinson - Offered, Unofficial Visit

Class of 2015
* Luke Kennard - No. 5 WG from Franklin (Ohio) HS

Class of 2016
* Harry Giles - Blue chip PF prospect at High Point (N.C.) Weslyan (Pinson's teammate)

Class of 2016?

He's local...
