Andrew Wiggins is planning a visit to Florida State for early December, Huntington (W.V.) Prep coach
Rob Fulford told SNY.tv.
Fulford said he wasn’t certain of the exact date but thinks it’s the first weekend, which is Dec. 7-9. Florida State hosts Florida Dec. 5 and Maine Dec. 9.
“He is trying to get to FSU in early December with his parents,” Fulford said. “Nothing is set in stone yet.”
Both of Wiggins’s parents — former NBA player
Mitchell Wiggins and former Canadian Olympic track star
Marita Payne-Wiggins — attended Florida State.
“Obviously, FSU is interested in Andrew,” Fulford told SNY.tv. “He could be the best player in the history of their program. I’m sure they are interested.”
The 6-foot-8 Wiggins is the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2013 and a likely one-and-done player. He is also considering Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Ohio State and plans to sign in the spring.
Other visits will be planned moving forward.
“He’s planning where he can,” Fulford said. “No set timeframe. Just when he can. He is in no rush.”
