Andrew Wiggins recruitment: America’s top high school basketball player picks Kansas

The recruitment of the millennium is finally over: Andrew Wiggins has committed to Kansas. The Wiggins saga was the single most compelling recruitment in the history of recruiting, but Wiggins is no longer the most coveted recruit in the history of recruiting: he is now a Jayhawk, or will be, very shortly.

When Wiggins made his decision early Tuesday afternoon, he finished a year that began with him as the most interesting non-NBA basketball player on Earth and ends with him having only become more interesting, despite no one learning much of anything about Wiggins himself.

The Jayhawks, having won or shared the Big 12 title for nine straight years, had a bit of reloading to do after losing all five starters from the 2012-2013 team to either graduation or the NBA draft. Wiggins will make that pill easier to swallow, serving as the crème de la crème of Self’s 2013 recruiting class, which is ranked second in the nation by most media outlets.

Andrew Wiggins, one of the most sought-after high school prospects in the last decade, will end his recruiting process on Tuesday, May 14.

Rather than holding a press conference, he will sign a letter of intent in front of friends and family.

Livio Jean-Charles had 27 points and Andrew Wiggins scored 17 more as the World team beat the U.S. for the second straight year at the Nike Hoop Summit.

The 112-98 win the World its first win streak in the 19-year history of the game.
