    Kentucky coach John Calipari is also expected this week at some point to see the 6-foot-7 Wiggins, who may reclassify to 2013 from 2014 in order to enter the 2014 NBA Draft. 

    “They’ll be in this week,” Fulford said. “I don’t know when.”

    Calipari Tweeted that he would be in five states on Monday and a contest winner later guessed correctly that they were Texas, Michigan, California, Indiana and Minnesota.
