Lindell Wigginton, PG

[Matrim55]

According to Paul Biancardi, KO was scouting Wigginton at Hoophall this past weekend.

Wigginton is a 6-foot-2, 180 lb PG from Canada (I've also seen him listed as a SG, fwiw). He's a consensus 4-star, top-70 recruit who has offers from Oregon, Florida State, Georgia and Virginia Tech to name a few. He's currently at Oak Hill Academy.

There's no scouting report on him that I can find, but here's a mixtape:



Hard to watch that and not make the Shabazz comparisons.

what kind of gym is that?

I would be careful with going off of Biancardi's word regarding who KO was scouting

A Canadian with interest in Oregon. What could go wrong?

Kkkkkaaaaasssssoooonnngggooo

Let's hope that him being from Nova Scotia sets him apart from the Ontarians who gravitate towards Oregon.

That aside, anyone know the last time a big-time player came out of NS? I sure don't.

For those who need actual proof, Biancardi said this on October 8:


Vance Jackson had officially visited UConn on Oct. 1 and then committed on Oct. 16.

Biancardi is clueless.

Wow. If someone told me that those were clips of Bazz in High School, I would have believed it hook line and sinker. He moves just like him on the court. The resemblance is uncanny. I'd take this kid in a heartbeat.

Great mixtape. Finishes well in traffic with both hands. Range, speed, good passing vision. Wow!

Oregon recruiting hardest, doesn't hold UConn offer yet:

"I think I want to see Oregon and Connecticut is recruiting me hard too so I’d like to see them"

 

[david]

He has a new video too

 

[huskyharry]

Connecticut.jobs, is certainly much closer for him than Oregon.
the only caveat I'd have from his mixtape is that he is playing against of similar height who didn't appear to be all that athletic.

We need to get @mauconnfan on this, but he is listed at 6'2" and does not look nearly that tall to me. Not a high flyer, but showed some good court vision, passing, getting to the hoop. But the big question: How tall is he really?

After reviewing for a 2nd time it is clear to me he is not 6'2". no way. I'd say 6'1-1/2" Db2u according to mau-surements.

@mauconnfan Mausurements? Love it.

Pretty stark contrast to MAL. Wigginton seems much more perimeter based in his scoring. We don't really know that the backcourt will look like in 2017, but I do like both he and MAL.

MAL's coach said he thought he was the best defender in the country and that he had higher potential than Jalen. Might be a bit of exaggeration, but that is pretty high praise.

Looking forward to the Boneyard scouting department hot takes.

Committed to Iowa State today. Good for him that is a nice landing spot. Best of luck.
