Andrew Wiggins, a 6-foot-7 wing from Huntington Prep (W.Va.) by way of Ontario, Canada, is considering fast-tracking his hoops career and joining the senior class in the fall.
"He just hates decisions," Huntington Prep head coach Rob Fulford said via text Wednesday. "My gut says he will be 2013, but as of now he says 2014."

Wiggins was the star of stars on the club and camp circuit over the summer and is widely regarded as the top teenage basketball prospect in the world. He averaged 18.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game to help CIA Bounce go 17-3 during the regular season in Nike's Elite Youth Basketball League. The Toronto-based club reached the EYBL finals at the Peach Jam in July.
A decision from Wiggins on his future is expected in the coming weeks. Kentucky and Florida State would be among the leaders in his accelerated recruitment. If Wiggins does leave his peers in the 2014 class, there will still be plenty of elite talent on the board.
No. 2 Noah Vonleh of New Hampton School (N.H.) and club team Mass Rivals closed the summer with strong performances at the adidas Super 64 and adidas Nations. The 6-8 forward led a high-level field at Nations in scoring and rebounding and helped his team capture the tournament title.
The highlight of the summer for No. 3 Jahlil Okafor came in Lithuania at the FIBA U17 World Championship. The 6-10 Chicago center posted 13.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game to earn MVP honors as the United States cruised to the gold medal.

Minnesota's Tyus Jones is an artist at the point guard position and capable of scoring in bunches when needed to.
