Andrew Wiggins - Average PPG in the 2013-14 NCAA Basketball Season?

The only thing longer and more dreary than allergy season in the Ohio Valley has been the wild recruitment of prep star Andrew Wiggins. The top player of the 2013 class, Wiggins has been secretive beyond belief in hiding where he'll spend a few months of college. Either way, today is the day. At 12:15pm Wiggins will be surrounded by family, friends, and ONE reporter. FYI, if you want to give him a quick follow the lad's name is Grant Traylor @GrantTraylor. He had 700 twitter followers three days ago. Today, nearly 14,000. 

Here's your daily links on what the "experts" are saying about Wiggins...

* The Courier-Journal's Adam Himmelsbach has been the local media member whose been all over the Wiggins committment. The CJ will also host a live chat from 11:45am through the announcement. 

* Wondering why everybody wants Wiggins? Take a look at THESE. Nasty.

* Our buddy Rob Dauster from College Basketball Talk breaks down what a committment would mean for Kentucky, Kansas, FSU and North Carolina.

* Chris Fischer at CatsPause.com breaks down why Wiggins should/shouldn't pick each school on his wish list.

* Check out the good people at Scout/Fox Sports. I think every single story on their recruiting page is about Wiggins. Good primers.

* A good article by Dan Shanoff of USA Today who asks the question "why should Wiggins even go to college"? It's a fair point. If he spends one year in the NBA D-League he can collect that small paycheck AND go ahead and get his millions via a shoe deal and other endorsements. Shanoff makes a fair point. Wiggins, immediately, would achieve lifetime financial secuirity, receive NBA level coaching, and potentially start a trend with future prep stars.

For now, we wait for Wiggins. He says he doesn't like the attention but we'll see. 

My prediction: Kansas, so probably Florida State
 

For weeks, well probably more like months the University of Louisville has been trying to tab a season opener that would be worth of national fodder. For whatever reason that will not happen again this year, but the Cards will get some love from ESPN.

Brett McMurphy of ESPN.com reporting this morning that ESPN has moved the Ohio at Louisville game from Saturday August 31 to Sunday September 1, kick off at 3:30pm EST.

According to GoCards.com, this appearanc will give the Cards at least five nationally televised games this season. This will include two Thursday and Friday night appearances. Ohio finished 9-4 last season and for what it's worth has returned 16 starters from that team.
