Wiggins In, Austin Out


As reported last week, the Huger era has its first recruit as Demajeo Wiggins signed a letter of intent today at Springfield HS.  We talked a little bit about what he had accomplished with Springfield, and here is a little more from the BGSU release.

Wiggins averaged 12.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game for the Blue Devils to earn All-Northern Lakes League First-Team honors. He was named to the Division I All-District Second-Team and All-Ohio Honorable Mention accolades. Wiggins was also tabbed the Blue Devils' Defensive Player of the Year.

A member of the Ohio Basketball Club AAU program, coached by Michael Duncan, Barry Egan and Dennis Barba, Wiggins played with Carlton Bragg (Kansas signee), Devon Andrews (Kent State signee) and Peter Barba (Columbia University signee).

Wiggins chose Bowling Green over Toledo, IPFW, Tennessee State, Bethune-Cookman, Oakland and Illinois State.

On the outgoing front, there are a lot of rumors out there about the BG transfer situation...the only thing I have seen with external validation is Jovan Austin, who has retweeted posts about his transferring and having his release, so I am assuming that is confirmed.



Beyond that, I have not seen anything else outside verbalcommits.com on any of these issues.

I really wish someone could find out what's going on. I've never seen a greater disconnect between rumor and what we're being officially told. Most of the team is leaving, but then again, they might not be. An entire season potentially hangs in the balance and no-one knows what is happening. This is nuts!

At least one season hangs in the balance. It is possible the reason we have not heard more is that most of the things are not resolved one way or the other yet.

I think you can make good assumptions that Delvin Dickerson is gone as well just by reviewing his Twitter. "Glad to be back in Houston" and "I want to play for my city" etc. He and Austin came as a tandem and would not be surprised they play someplace else together.

I would agree that is a good assumption.
