Post by: Pete on October 19, 2013, 09:32:36 AM
How many dunks did he have?  I bet is was a lot.

Also, how many alley-oops?  I bet there were a bunch of those too.


WTSC!

Forgot to mention jump shots.  Give us a break down on jump shots.

I hear they measured his vertical jump again and it's now up to 54 inches. 

The guy can literally stand there and jump 4.5 feet off the ground Pete!!   That's higher than a former Olympic Champion triple-jumper I knew who trained all day long specifically to have explosive leg power!!

That's crazy. I was on the phone with my brother (big hawks fan) while I was at Dillion's on Rock Road and was asking him how Wiggins was looking and after I hung up the guy behind in me in line immediately asked me for an update. He was wearing a wingnuts hat.

Pains me to report this, but my dad was telling me at the pumpkin patch today that there are two other Hawks on the team better than Wiggins.  They are that good and talented.  Basically, just imagine the best basketball player ever and then think of somebody better.

I agree completely.  If it weren't for Wiggins, over half his State would have a very boring Winter, because I don't think the new season of Vikings starts on the History channel until the Spring.  Though, the History channel is only saying "coming in 2014," so I suppose there is a chance they launch the new season in January....which, would obviously be awesome.

Guys, I am just as excited for Wiggins as the rest of the state!!! That is the good news. The bad news is, I am worried just a bit for our guy Andrew. Obviously the jayhawks are a shoo-in for another Big 12 title (9 in a row!) and another Final 4 bid. My worry is, is what if something comes up (injury, rough game) and our hawks arent able to bring home a natty??? What if Bill's hawks overlook calipari's boys, or louisville, or Duke or somebody like that and SOMEHOW the non-kansans eek out a win??? I dont think I could bear to see our guy Wiggins if his trophy was taken from him. reassure me, guys.

edit: fwiw, rick said he thought that drews toes were on the ft line when he jumped. he has really good season tix too so id trust him on this one.

Well, I am a bit taken aback by Coach Self's comments about Wiggins.

Nothing even remotely similar was true about Beasley, for example....and I cannot recall anything close to that being said about any consensus #1 recruit in recent memory.


Therefore, it's probably lies....and a little gamesmanship by a salty veteran coach.

I think it's pretty awesome that Ender's Game opens in theatres the same week that Andrew Wiggins makes his debut for the Kansas Jayhawks, personally.

This is a great observo and post. Sorry it got ignored.

Well, I am a bit taken aback by Coach Self's comments about Wiggins.

Nothing even remotely similar was true about Beasley, for example....and I cannot recall anything close to that being said about any consensus #1 recruit in recent memory.


Therefore, it's probably lies....and a little gamesmanship by a salty veteran coach.


We got this guys.  Wiggs is going to make us all very proud.  RELAX!

I do think LHCBS is trying to motivate Wiggins, but having an elite cast is always going to lead to less goddy numbers.

gaudy, tho

If they don't win national championship with this dude and surrounding talent it will be an epic fail, worse than their "football" team's season by far.

If it were me, I would have put "season" in quotation marks.  Either way works.  Partial credit for "team" in quotation marks.

Just checked Michael Beasley's (couldn't hold Wiggins' jock) debut and he only had 35 pts and 15 boards against Fort Hays State.

But Lebron....

Oh man, really makes me wish I was visiting back there.   The late Fall is so beautiful and full of TSC when the ku fans emerge and break out their flags, stones, and unbox a fresh set of stickers.

Wiggins already ready to leave KU, probably fears for own life.
