Following potential 2014 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Thanks toots.
Finally the date has been set.......
Place your bets ladies and gents.... I'm going with UNC (sorry PKM).
I just think he's the lone wolf type player, similar to the way Kobe & Jordan handled themselves throughout their career. He likes the feeling of "making it by himself" - something LeBron never did have.

Lebron played in Cleveland for many years by himself and got close to a ring.
Kobe and Jordan had HOF'ers help them too...... Neither ever did it by themselves.
Well that's my analysis in reaching that conclusion. What's your pick and why?
Mississippi State. The reasons are obvious.
Putting your homer hat aside, of the following where do you think he'll end up in: UK, UNC, FSU, Kansas.
I already gave my answer. I do not change it.
C'mon guys, what do you have to lose? I mean seriously...
I have inside information. Just trust me.
Um, okay.
I have never, ever, been wrong on this board when discussing info coming from the UK camp.
I called it, a few days ago, that Wiggins was set to announce either today or Tuesday (it was dependent upon when his parents were arriving and when they could have a last chat.
After my going on the record dozens of time (with no edits - private forum) I've been right EVERY time when its UK related and Jabari was the only non-UK related info I was wrong on... and that was a kid just changing his mind.
As for the date.. I was right with Wiggins. As of Friday, his choice was UK. His mom was cool with the choice but dad making a strong push for either UNC or FSU.. where he can be the man next year, mostly alone. Most of my predictions weren't predictions at all.. but rather scoops from trusted friends/sources. Wiggins is no done deal.. but laying money I say UK.
When I was coming out of high school I wanted to study Architecture. I just like the mix of creativity & science. But my dad wanted me to do Engineering (architecture to him was too airy fairy). My mom was OK either way. My dad insisted I do Engineering at all cost.
In the end, I was too young to realize what I really wanted, so I went with the safe bet and chose Engineering.
I really regretted doing that as I missed being creative, Engineering was really just calculations, and I dropped out after the 1st year.
Because of this deeply personal story, I think Wiggins will go with his Dad's recommendation and go with either UNC or FSU. The bond between a father and a son is much stronger when the son is younger. He'll develop the bond with his mother a bit later in life when he has a wife, family, etc. Similar story applies with Tiger Woods.
He'll probably regret it later on when he'll have to put the whole team on his back and trying to advance in the NCAA tourney on limited talent, but I think eventually he'll go with his Dad's choice.
I'll admit I think it very well end up that way. I'm not at all confident in this one, tbh.. funny that UK already has the #1 recruiting class, all timd, without him.. according to nearly every recruiting/ranking service... I'm just, as a fan, hoping for the ridiculously historic team......
I don't see that as a factor in his choice, but would have NO problem with that, fwiw.
To your answer;
UK
UNC
KU
