Did we just hand Wiggins to UK?

[ArtVandelay]

He couldn't have been very impressed...

[lean_gator]

Maybe he takes a look at us now? Lol

[SwampFox]

hey, a game like this guarantees him playing time in any one of 5 positions.

[Go2gtr]

How so?

He might even be allowed to coach.

If Wiggins caught FSU's losses to USA and Mercer I'm not sure how much more damage this could have done. It was pretty bad though. Maybe it is worse.

[sappanama]

who?

[tommyuf21]

Neither were his parents.

I don't think there is a choice between UK and FSU, regardless of where your parents went to school.

[gatorman_07732]

Were we supposed to lose or win within a specific point margin?

[HALLGATOR]

If he wants to compete for NCs then the choice is clear imo.

[G8RNTN]

I'm lost... :awkward:

[dailydoublecat]

If daddy gets his way he will go to FSU but I think Andrew has a different plan!

[gatorman_07732]

He certainly didn't look too enthused in the stands texting on his cell phone

[HALLGATOR]

Andrew Wiggins, considered the #1 prospect in the nation by many, was at the game. He has narrowed his choices to FSU, where both of his parents went to school, and Kentucky

[tommyuf21]

I would never want to do anything to help UK in any way, but considering I have no influence whatsoever, I cannot see any reason for this young man to entrust his college career to FSU.

[dailydoublecat]

The bottom line is does he want to be the superstar and win some games or would he like to play with other good players? Does Mommy and Daddy win or do they let Andrew have his say? My people that I trust have always told me UK but its recruiting.

If he does choose UK because of you kicking their ass THANK YOU!!

[tegator80]

Unless there is something going on, their demeanor was very disconnected. I bet FSU is a courtesy to his parents and their wanting to give the Noles some good press. Unfortunately they were on TV. And pictures are worth a thousand words.

No offense Jeff, but I hope he ends up in Tally. He will be a one man show surrounded by average players. At UK he can help them win championships.

No s on that last word.

Ahhh, probably very true. Well, at least one championship.....

North America not the nation.

[BengermanV]

Honestly a lose lose situation for UF.

[REM08]

Technically it could mean championships both national and SEC.

[InstiGATOR1]

Well neither UK nor FSU's early season play is saying this is just the place for you next year. Add in that he just widened his field, maybe he goes to neither. Probably not.

[SwampFox]

Jeff, I hope your team sucks an egg from now to eternity. No offense...

:joecool:

Lol we are laying an egg so far in this early season!!

So, a great prospect with zero interest in UF goes to f$u to see us slaughter them. He's down to the noles and UK. What were we supposed to do? There are three more players among the top 15 in the 2013 class still interested in the Gators. I'm more interested in making a good impression on them whether they were at the game or not. Two of the three would play the same position as Wiggins at UF and all have at least 20 pounds on him. If we get one of those guys, I don't care where Wiggins goes.

One more thing. I'm delighted to beat the noles any day in any sport, regardless what it might mean in recruiting.

[ArtVandelay]

You people are way too serious. It was a joke. I always enjoy demolishing FSU. I wasn't saying we should have taken it easy on them. I wish we would have won 72-0!

I personally would rather see him go there, but I doubt that recruits place too much on results of the game they attend in making their decision.

Go Gators!

[MoscowGtr]

I think it is better for us if he goes to FSU--a team we play only once a year, out of conference--but no one in good conscience can hope that a top basketball prospect goes to play for FSU.

As good as Wiggins is though, I have to wonder how these kids can all feel so certain that they will see significant time in their first years given all the other top talent going to UK. I assume that Cal can monopolize the top talent because they are all so confident in themselves that they worry less about competition (and he is a good coach; and it is a great program with a huge following, etc.--I am not suggesting otherwise), but I still don't know why they are not more afraid of each other.

Wiggins isn't going to be afraid of anyone else at UK. There may be other players at UK who should be concerned about seeing the court.

[grant1]

not so fast to uk, according o the paper this morning, he's still consdiering 4-5 schools

[Distant Gator]

How anyone could still consider FSU after that display last night- where they were completely humiliated, is beyond me.

Gators are fun to watch right now. We do all the little things well.

[gatorman_07732]

It really doesn't get much clearer

Trsut me its a 2 horse race.

[jmoliver]

Wiggins would see significant playing time right now in the NBA. He will have no problem on any college team.

[austingtr]

These beat down can be emotional. The kid grew up an FSU fan. Maybe this will push him to the Noles to be their savior. Who knows? To me it can go either way.

[cocodrilo]

Did FSU supply the girl he was with, or did he bring her with him?

If FSU supplied her, he didn't look very impressed. If he brought her with him, he must have had no choice. I'm not even sure that he was awake.

Maybe we will push him back to FSU after we deliver a similar beatdown to UK ;)

Word is she was interviewed on a Ky radio station this morning

[StrangeGator]

I for one hope he does go to f$u. It's not like he's going to be around long enough to build a team around him. He would do a lot less damage there than at Kentucky since they already have an astounding class and we have to play them twice a season. Though if we get Randle or Parker, that will make Wiggins a lot easier to handle. The combination of Prather and Finney-Smith should be pretty formidable.

[gatordee]

No offense Jeff, but I hope he ends up in Tally. He will be a one man show surrounded by average players. At UK he can help them win championships.

I agree. FSU will still be an average team at best even with him.
