Where will Andrew Wiggins, the nation’s undisputed No. 1 Class of 2013 college basketball recruit, go to school? The secret has been more carefully guarded than President Obama.

The national signing period opened Wednesday, and Wiggins still hasn’t put the speculation to rest. While many have tried to get him to bare his soul, Wiggins laughs at everyone trying to handicap the four-school race between Florida State, Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina.

Last week, Wiggins told his 60,000 Twitter followers: “Lol if you ain't in my family you know nothing about my recruitment , lol stop with the rumors.”

Next week will be a big one in the recruitment of this 6-7, 200-pound star-in-waiting. Wiggins will get visits from UNC's Roy Williams on Monday, Kansas' Bill Self on Tuesday and FSU's Leonard Hamilton on Wednesday, the player’s high school coach, Rob Fulford told SNY.tv. And that indicates that anything is still possible for this talented player who averaged 23.4 points and 11.1 rebounds this past year for Huntington (West Va.) Prep.

Kentucky and Florida State have long been considered the frontrunners to land Wiggins, but his decision may come down to this, says Kentucky Kernel sports editor Alex Forkner: “Does Wiggins want to share the limelight on the way to a national title at UK, or be the main man at FSU? I'd call it a coin flip.”

Brendan Bures, the sports editor for the FSView and Florida Flambeau, gives Wiggins a 75 percent chance of coming to Tallahassee, even though the Seminoles are not the basketball powerhouse that the other three finalists are.

“I believe Wiggins chooses Florida State because of his father's (and mother's) alumni status, his best friend Xavier Rathan-Mayes (who’s already committed to FSU) is attending, and he wants to be the guy, not just one of many,” Bures said.

The intriguing school in this mix is North Carolina, especially considering Williams has an opening for a wing scorer with Reggie Bullock off to the NBA. UNC’s other three 2013 recruits are either big men (Isaiah Hicks and Kennedy Meeks) or a point guard (Nate Britt). And much like Lexington, Chapel Hill would be Wiggins’ best bet at a national title, should that be on his priority list. Teaming with P.J. Hairston and James Michael McAdoo would form a formidable team. And just think of the people he wouldn't be letting down on this "Andrew Wiggins to UNC" Facebook page.

Meanwhile, Kansas has its own big hole to fill with Ben McLemore declaring for the NBA draft. Wiggins could star in Lawrence with McLemore’s departure, but Pat Strathman, the sports editor at The University Daily Kansan, the school’s student newspaper, gives it a 10 percent chance.

“With Marcus Smart heading back to Oklahoma State, the urgency to get him increased drastically, but I think with the history of "one-and-done" players, Wiggins won't choose Kansas,” Strathman said.
