UNLV Receives Commitment From Dwayne Morgan

Mar 27, 2013 8:44 PM

UNLV received a commitment from Dwyane Morgan, a 6-foot-7 small forward who is considered a top-30 prospect in the class of 2014.

Morgan chose the Runnin’ Rebels over finalists Maryland and Georgetown.

"Throughout my recruitment UNLV stayed the most consistent and involved," Morgan wrote on zagsblog.com. "There were about two games that they were not in attendance for this past summer.”

Morgan visited UNLV on Feb. 9 for the 64-55 victory against New Mexico.

“They like to get it down the floor and everybody on the team can pretty much shoot, and I can shoot for my size,” Morgan said in February. “That would be a perfect fit.”

Wiggins Still Weighing College Options

Mar 21, 2013 9:05 PM

Andrew Wiggins is still contemplating his college choice.

"I really don't know when I'm going to sign," said Wiggins. "When I know where I want to go, I'll sign. But I just don't know."

Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford made up an Excel chart for Wiggins, so he could rank his final four schools -- Florida State, Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina – in areas of interest such as atmosphere, fans, weather, coaching style, play style, campus, general feel and more.

"With the sheet, we want to help him to figure out exactly what is most important to him, what might not be most important and rank them among those schools," Fulford said. "At the end, you add it up and see who is leading. That doesn't necessarily determine the final decision, but that gives you a solid basis to build off of."

Wiggins Quiet After Official Visit To Kentucky

Mar 2, 2013 1:16 PM

Andrew Wiggins declined to talk about his recruitment after taking an official visit to Kentucky this week.

“He’s not going to give up much,” Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford said. “You guys know him well enough.”

Wiggins’ parents, both of whom attended Florida State, accompanied him on the trip to Kentucky.

Fulford addressed a popular narrative in recruiting circles that Wiggins is already sold on Kentucky and that this week’s trip was about selling his parents on the Wildcats.

“That could be. It could be. I don’t know,” Fulford said. “There’s no doubt about it that it could be. The fact that his parents are on his visits is crucial. Had they not gone to any of the other ones, I would have said that Florida State was a lock. Because they wouldn’t have had anything to compare it to. The fact that they are going says a lot about the process and that they had a chance to see different places.”
