Wiggins Nearing Decision On Whether To Jump To Class Of 2013

Jul 30, 2012 10:42 PM

Andrew Wiggins will make a decision sometime soon on whether to jump to the class of 2013.

 “He does understand that when he makes the jump into the college world, everything changes. Life changes,” Wiggins’ AAU coach Mike George said. “It’s not just a basketball decision. It’s a life decision. You have to do what makes the most sense for your life.”

Wiggins will consult with his family and coaches over the next few weeks before making a decision.

Amid talk of reclassification, John Calipari traveled to Brampton, Ontario on Saturday to catch the 6-foot-7 small forward at the Caribana Classic Basketball camp.

“It’s who’s recruiting him hardest. That’s what counts. That’s what he wants to see,” George said. “If he’s playing, you better have a coach there front and center. And it better be the head coach. And if it’s not – you have a problem.”

Report: Frank Allocco Emerging As Leading Candidate For St. John's Assistant

Jul 5, 2012 2:33 PM

De La Salle High School (Concord, CA) head coach Frank Allocco is “emerging as the leading candidate” to replace Mike Dunlap at St. John’s after two meetings with Johnnies head coach Steve Lavin, a source close to the process told SNY.tv.

Lavin expects to name a new coach within the next month after Dunlap was tabbed to coach the Charlotte Bobcats.

Lavin and Allocco, 58, met this past weekend in TriBeca and the De La Salle coach toured the St. John’s campus, met the coaching staff, the St. John’s brass and continued dialogue regarding the assistant opening.

A native of New Providence, N.J., Allocco has compiled a 413-52 record as head coach at De La Salle since 1997.
