A report that adidas is prepared to offer an $180 million deal over 10 years to Andrew Wiggins may be the result of a hoax.

The $180 million figure comes from a letter supposedly from adidas group CEO Herbert Hainer to Wiggins' camp, but that is now believed to be a hoax.

"There is a fraudulent letter that claims to be from our company offering Mr. Wiggins a contract," said an adidas spokesman to SB Nation. "Any reasonable review of the letter would determine its lack of credibility. Beyond this, we do not comment on rumors or speculation about potential partnerships."

Bleacher Report's Jared Zwerling, the reporter originally responsible for the story, responded on Twitter.

"I saw the Wiggins hoax memo and in response: My independent sources stand by their comments and had heard of no memo before talking to me."

Rich Paul is considered the frontrunner to represent Andrew Wiggins.

Paul also represents LeBron James, as well as Canadians such as Tristan Thompson, Cory Joseph and Myck Kabongo.

One NBA agent said he'd "be surprised" if Wiggins didn't end up with Paul. 

Paul reportedly met Wiggins last summer in Ohio while James was working out with Kevin Durant.

Andrew Wiggins is the prime endorsement target for Adidas assuming he declares for the 2014 NBA Draft, according to three sources.

"(Adidas) is easily the front-runner, 100 percent," said Rich Lopez, the publisher of the popular sneaker website KixandtheCity.com.

"From what I'm hearing, (Adidas) is really high on him," an industry source said. "I've heard a range for sure, from like $140 to $180 million for like 10 years. That's a big deal for a kid coming out of school because most rookie deals are probably like four years."

Nike is also expected to bid for Wiggins, according to two sources. Wiggins wore Nikes on his AAU team, but Kansas wears Adidas.

"I'm hearing from people at Kansas that he's got a $180 million offer supposedly coming from Adidas," a source close to Wiggins' inner circle said. "But I also heard that Nike is going to match anything."

Andrew Wiggins will begin his long-anticipated collegiate career next month with Kansas.

Expectations are high for Wiggins but he is more likely to impact the game in many small ways that don't show up in the box score than high scoring players we have seen in the Big 12.

"I don't think he has the mindset to be a natural, Michael Beasley-, Kevin Durant-guy that puts up numbers," said Bill Self. "I don't think that's the way he'll feel he can help the team the most. He's going to have games where he does it. There's going to be some games where he just doesn't feel it. But he's talented enough that he can impact the games just as much when he doesn't feel it because he can do a little bit of everything.

"The thing I'm trying to convince him to do is look to score, be aggressive. And I think his mindset is, I'll be aggressive when I get totally comfortable. Obviously, he's not close to being comfortable."

Kansas and UNLV have agreed to a home-and-home starting in the 14-15 season.

The Rebels will visit Allen Fieldhouse first with the Jayhawks returning the favor the next season.

“We are very excited to start this series with Kansas,” UNLV head coach Dave Rice said. “Kansas has one of the most successful, storied programs in college basketball history.

Kelly Oubre has committed to Kansas.

Oubre is a top-10 recruit in the class of 2014 out of Findlay Prep in Nevada.

Oubre, a 6-7 small forward, also considered Kentucky.

Oubre made his official visit to Kansas this weekend.
