Sophomore-to-be Mitch McGary was one of the main reasons why the University of Michigan men’s basketball team made a Final Four run in the 2013 NCAA tournament.  After deciding to bypass this year’s NBA Draft in July, he is now the main reason why Big Blue Nation should expect nothing less come March Madness next year.  The 6-foot-10 McGary had an emergence in the 2013 NCAA Tournament that had talent evaluators throwing Jared Sullinger and Kevin Love comparisons on him after averaging over 14 points and 10 rebounds per game over 6 games in the tournament.

NCAA Division 1 College Basketball has been dominated the last two seasons by the state of Kentucky. The 2011-2012 season saw the Kentucky Wildcats win the national title, as they were led by the top two picks in the 2012 NBA draft, Anthony Davis, and Michael Kidd-Gillchrist. This year the cross state rival Louisville Cardinals, with Coach Rick Patino cut the nets down, and over in Lexington the defending champions struggled to find the magic of a year ago. The Wildcats were hindered by a season ending ACL injury to Nerlens Noel, and the rest of the team suffered from a real lack of chemistry. The 2013-2014 season will prove to be more than just a return to “True Blue”.

Head Coach John Calapari has landed what could arguably be his best ever recruiting class, and possibly the best ever for the University. Most teams are fortunate if they land one McDonald’s All-American, but not Coach Cal. He has landed six of the twenty-five, and was one of the four finalists for the overall best recruit in the country Andrew Wiggins.

Andrew Wiggins is widely regarded as the best high school basketball player in the country. As a senior at Huntington Prep in West Virginia, he averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.5 assists per game. Last month he was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year. After months and months of speculation and rumors, his decision has been made. Wiggins will attend Kansas next year and play for Bill Self and the Jayhawks.

Wiggins decided to make his announcement in a small setting that featured just one local reporter, his family and his high school coach. This was much different from the usual highly publicized ESPN announcements that seem to have taken over high profile college recruiting.Wiggins has done a good job of staying out of the media spotlight and wanted to go through the recruiting process his way.
