Andrew Wiggins chose to enroll in summer school at Kansas instead of competing with the Canadian under-19 team.

Wiggins said he might practice with the Canadian national team later in the summer, but he wanted to acclimate himself as much as possible before his freshman season.

“I know that college is a big step from high school, so I just wanted to make sure I was ready for it,” Wiggins said.

Wiggins’ arrival has hardly gone unnoticed.

“We’ve recruited other good players before, but we haven’t had anybody with this type of attention,” Bill Self said. “I kind of feel for him. He's going to have to be able to tell people no. He’s got professional autograph seekers waiting for him every time he steps out of his apartment, stuff like that.”
