Even though we are in the midst of college football, I enjoy keeping up with college basketball as well, so I figure I give an update to others who do the same

Seems like Andrew Wiggins is contemplating going the Nerlens Noel route and reclassifying to the 2013 class, thus causing a battle for the #1 spot between him and Jabari Parker:

Meanwhile, double-double machine Arsalan Kazemi is transferring from Rice and has narrowed his choices down to Oregon and Kentucky. Is applying for a hardship waiver to play this season, but unsure if it will be granted

LINK

Finally, a slew of pretty big commitments swept through the weekend up to today:

#52 Kameron Williams to Ohio State
#56 Kendrick Nunn to Illinois
#11 Anthony Barber to N.C. State after skyrocketing up the rankings this summer
#48 Moses Kingsley to Arkansas

There is no battle IMO, Wiggins is better than Parker. He should have got that SI cover.

I think Wiggins is the better one as well, but Parker has a more interesting story which is likely why he got the SI cover

Actually Julius Randle is ranked ahead of Parker on Rivals, but Wiggins would move ahead of both if he reclassifies.

From what I have seen, both Randle and Wiggins are better than Parker.

Parker AND Wiggins to UK?

Sounds crazy. But I wouldnt doubt that Cal could pull it off.

Kentucky is not really an option for Kazemi, as he would not be able to enroll until January. Kentucky's final date to enroll was two weeks ago. I don't think even Calipari has the power to let a player enroll a month after school starts.

Oregon has not even started school yet, so look for him to end up there. He's a decent player, but when he gets in a major conference and goes up against bigger and stronger players, his weaknesses will be exposed.

Parker is not considering UK.

Randle is, however.

I was about to post something like this, but Cal's 2013 class could be the next version of the Fab 5 and then some:

He is in good shape for the Harrison twins, I think is in good shape for Julius Randle and will definitely have to fight for Parker and Wiggins

Still plenty of time for that. Cal is definitely recruiting him so you never know

Parker is better now and was better than Wiggins at the same age. Wiggins is an elite athlete still in the early stages of developing his skills.

He could get them all, except Parker, or he could get none. I think the Harrison's are very seriously considering Maryland. Randle is very seriously considering many schools, including Baylor and Duke. Both Wiggins' parents are Florida State alums and he is seriously considering them.

Cal has offered a lot of players in this class, which leads me to believe he is not overly confident about landing a "Fab Five" type class.

This UK class definitely has the chances to be very top heavy. I'd say they are in the lead for Wiggins, Randle, and the Harrisons but I can't see them landing all 4, that would be 3 alphas fighting for the ball.

I know you're doing your normal thing but you obviously haven't seen enough of Wiggins. Wiggins was unquestionably better this summer. I don't know if Parker looks that much better this year from last year, except more lazy.

Wiggins and Parker are also the same age. Wiggins would not be moving up in class by reclassifying, but rather moving to his original class.

Had the opportunity to meet Wiggins at the Marshall tailgate this past weekend. The host family he stays with lives a couple streets down from me. I also got to meet the Moses kid. Both are pretty nice dudes, and frickin monsters! The Huntington Prep team has a nice program going on. I don't follow the team that much, but heard they are top 5 in the country.

We're going to get four of the top 5 in '13.
