The next great high school prospect has a destination.
Canadian baller Andrew Wiggins made his decision to attend the University of Kansas on Tuesday, doing it in a no-frills ceremony that only had one member of the media, Grant Traylor of The Herald-Dispatch of Huntington (WV) invited.
This is what he tweeted.
Andrew Wiggins will be attending Kansas.The Jayhawks were not perceived to be the huge favorites to land the uber-prospect, as Kentucky, Florida State and North Carolina were also going hard for him.
Andrew, the son of former NBA player AND Ginebra import Mitchell Wiggins and Canadian sprinter Marita Payne-Wiggins, is the Gatorade National Boys' Player of the Year and is the definitive top high school prospect. He has a brother, Nick, who is currently an incoming senior at Wichita State, which is just over two hours away from where he will be playing college ball.
As noted by ESPN's Dana O'Neil, Kansas and Duke (where highly touted prospect Jabari Parker is headed) will be facing each other at the Champions Classic at the United Center on November 12. Other notable opponents sees them go to Gainesville to face Billy D's Gators on December 10 and host Georgetown on the 21st.
The challenge has been laid to you, Bill Self.
Here is a comp between Andrew and LeBron:
