Agreed. We are going to be really, really good next year. If either Pat comes back or we get Randle, we are going to be scary good. Nobody's saying that we won't be able to beat them..... just that adding Wiggins to the class they already have would make that likely the best freshman class to go to the same school (on paper) of all-time. I don't think we get Randle (although we're not out of it), but if Pat comes back we win the national title IMO. There wouldn't be a team in the country with such a great senior class to go along with super-talented underclassmen.

Kevin Durant couldnt even bench 185 before he was drafted. How much do you think he was benching in HS before a year at Texas? He had no strength coming out of HS. Sure he could ball but overall he was nowhere near the prospect Wiggins is right now

Kasey Hill should start no doubt next year!!

Don't forget Durant was still 6'2-6'3ish as a high school jr.

And if there was another Greg Oden clone in this class, he'd probably be #1 as well.

No I was thinking about Durant. I didn't think he hit that growth spurt until he got to Montrose.

And nobody knew about Oden's future health problems. I'm not speaking in terms of just talent, but also the way the NBA is made up right now. There are no dominant centers, w/Dwight and Bynum being hampered by injuries.

A guy with Oden's skills coming out of hs would automatically be looked at as a franchise changer, imo.

Did his bench stop him from leading the nation in scoring? Did it stop hin from dominating at the McDonalds game? Bro Durant was as unreal as anyone, I just dont agree with this Wiggins talk, hell I see Tyrek Evans play in high school and I wouldve put him before Wiggins imo...Tyrek was sick in high school, filthy!!!

The NBA was viewed differently back then. Kevin Durant's college season was during the advent of the new rules (no hand checking and etc). His uniqueness also lost him some points in the eyes of scouts since many people have trouble thinking outside the box. Wiggins is a more conventional wing player and is probably an automatic top 7 SG if he comes in the NBA as good as advertised. I think you have to wait until Wiggins gets his one year in college to make a definitive call on how he compares as a prospect.

Agreed bro

Ten years ago LeBron was a recruit .... amirite?

He is talking about this years 2013 class. The last decade including this year would reach back to 2004, not 2003.

His statement ultimately was that Wiggins is the best HS prospect since Lebron.

LeBron James is easily the best HS recruit of all time... Give me a break

I dont see anything different about Wiggins that I haven't seen before from alot of the guys listed and in the above post and more. Like I said before Tyrek Evans was on another planet coming out of high school aswell, hell Brandon Knight was sensational too. What is the difference? What separates this kid??? I dont see it...Is it just because of his School and their pedigree, what is it? Find a profile from an analyst of what they have to say about Wiggins and I will go back to some of these other forementioned stars and they would say the same exact things.

I apologize for that as well. I was actually waiting for an "old head" come through and recognize the player because nowadays all of the props go to the glitz and glamour.

Granted his career was not a great one in the NBA, there's no doubt about his dominance in High Scool.
