    The general consensus from many recruiting gurus was that FSU had a very good shot to get Wiggins. We all knew his parents had attended there and his visit to Tallahassee had included a plethora of college coeds begging him to attend. That would’ve been enough for me. He would’ve been the man there and might have been up staggering numbers. He would’ve been able to go up against number 2 recruit Jabari Parker in the ACC. It would’ve been a massive get and possible program changing recruit for Leonard Hamilton. The downside would’ve been Hamilton didn’t run a fast-paced offense that would’ve showcased Wiggin’s elite athleticism. Now Florida State recruit and friend Xavier Rathan-Mayes from Canada who he played with at Hungtington Prep has been ruled ineligible for the season. It seems as though that would’ve been another reason to attend FSU, to play with Xavier. Seems like Wiggins made the right decision not to make Tallahassee his home for a year after all.

    Duke plays Kansas the same amount of times that they play FSU this season so as for going against Parker that point would be pretty much moot unless he really wanted to play him in the ACC tourney.

    I believe it came down to coaching and talent which Kansas clearly has the edge on over FSU.

    but still not sure if kansas was the right choice… when was the last time bill self produced a top talent? or hell when was the last time kansas produced a top talent? Paul Pierce way back when? I guess all of the schools have their pros and cons but I personally don’t have much faith in kansas and bill self for top nba players

      McLemore, Thomas Robinson, The Morris twins…? He’s produced lottery the past three years, it’s too early to know how they will be as pros but he developed all of them during their stay at KU

      Throw in Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich for top 10 picks too.

      Cole Aldrich (11), Xavier Henry (12), Nick Collison (12th), Julian Wright (13th), and Brandon Rush (13th) were outside the top ten but lottery picks nonetheless.

    He wouldn’t have improved much in Leonard Hamilton’s system. He gets some pretty good talent down there at FSU. Outside of their defense they struggle dramatically on the offensive end. Bill Self will unleash him and showcase all of his abilities at Kansas
