Jeff Borzello of CBS Sports has taken time to break down every team recruiting Andrew Wiggins and how each team is affected if they do get him or don’t.
Here is Kentucky’s situation:
Kentucky
Without Wiggins: The Wildcats will enter the fall as the No. 1 team in the country. They are bringing in arguably the greatest recruiting class of all time, led by Andrew and Aaron Harrison at the guard spots; James Young on the wing; Julius Randle at forward; and Dakari Johnson and Marcus Lee down low. That doesn’t count the returnees coming back into the fold, led by Alex Poythress, Willie Cauley-Stein and Kyle Wiltjer. John Calipari has an enormous amount of talent at his disposal in Lexington.With Wiggins: We would immediately begin to hear the talk about Kentucky going undefeated next season. Even though they will be No. 1 either way, Wiggins is the sort of next-level player that could mean the difference between an absolute juggernaut and a team that will have competition for No. 1 throughout the season. He would slot in at the small forward position, playing alongside Randle and Cauley-Stein up front, with the Harrisons in the backcourt. Wow. The only question with Kentucky would be allocation of minutes — the talent level would be absurd.
