The Andrew Wiggins Sweepstakes may finally be drawing to a close.
Lesley Thomas, whose family has hosted Wiggins in West Virginia for two years, told the Courier-Journal that Wiggins is planing to announce “sometime in the next week or so.”
Marita Payne-Wiggins, Andrew’s mother, “is planning to come to West Virginia from Canada to support his announcement,” the story said.
“I know for him,” Thomas said, “he’s just ready to get the decision over with.”
“The days are counting down,” Nick Wiggins, Andrew’s older brother and a junior at Wichita State, recently told SNY.tv. “When he is ready to make his decision he will make it.”
The NCAA late signing period runs through May 15, meaning Andrew Wiggins could sign a Letter of Intent through that date. If he were to make his decision after that date, he could just sign scholarship papers.
The 6-foot-7 Wiggins is considering Kentucky, Florida State, Kansas and North Carolina. He figures to be one-and-done and is projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
He recently cancelled a series of in-home visits with the head coaches at North Carolina, Kansas and Florida State because he was exhausted following appearances in the McDonald’s, Jordan and Nike Hoop Summit games.
Kentucky coach John Calipari was the last head coach to meet with Wiggins, having done so before Wiggins left for the McDonald’s Game.
