Die Hard UK fan here... but Wiggins is a once a decade type talent. That's not a slam on Randle... if not for Wiggins, Randle would be the No1 player in a LOADED class. They'll both be fun to watch this upcoming season. I'm still a huge Andrew Wiggins fan.
I wanna see guys like Wiggins, Randle, and Parker be the guys who can lock up Lebron and KD mainly because it'll be fun as hell seeing some of the most dominant players getting owned by younglings lol. I don't know, I just like watching when good players destroy great players
I was at this game, the place was packed. Wiggins impressed me, more than Randle did. Don't forget Wiggins is only a Junior this year. I will hopefully seem him next summer at the 2013 Peach Jam.
Kentucky has a great program for players of this talent level. More importantly, Calipari really takes care of these young players. He is very protective of them, he mentors them, and he helps them reach their goals, what ever they may be. Add to that his incredible ability to coach and get these young players playing as a team, it is just amazing. With the class of freshmen they have already sighed, the addition of either Wiggins or Randle will make them the finest group of freshmen ever!!
Wiggins will have alot more trouble guarding Randle than Randle guarding him. Randle is a mannn in that post, but Wiggins speed and agility for his size is outstanding
The big blue nation loves both of these guys! It would be great to see them both team up together and come to Kentucky. It would certainly open up some huge possibilites for these two very talanted players!
wiggins looks to be the next real thing, pure skill and athleticism. randle is currently the biggest skilled player in high school, he's gonna get bucket in any gym
I agree with Thomas, and I'm a huge UK fan. I will say that the ACC only has one more championship than UK if we are being inclusive. Remember, one cannot live in the past. I'd say that the SEC's best and the ACC's best have generally been neck and neck for the past 4 years.
They actually had some of the best high school players at that time on both of their AAU squads. Xavier Rathan Mayes played on C.I.A. Bounce too and he is good. The highlights were mainly of Wiggins and Randle, so of course they "shined" the most in the vid
I've had the privilege to see both these guys a few times this season and as good as they both are, right now, there is NO QUESTION Wiggins is the better athlete and player. His IQ and ball handling are far greater and leaping ability, although they both have "bounce", wiggins surpasses him also. Randle has raw strength and incredible athletic ability but there really isn't much comparison
First off, sportsace, John Wall when healthy last year and playing, the wizards had the 4th best wining percentage in the league.... Now, to my point, wiggins didn't get beat 1 on 1, he made way more defensive plays required at the NBA level. Did not see anything but blocks that didn't turn the ball over by Randle, while I see better positioning and floor vision on defense by Wiggins. That, and wiggins realizes there are 5 people on his team and randle only can play in the isolation.
I think Kentucky would be more fun and a better learning experience for Wiggins. Calipari takes care of his players both on the court and off the court. Plus, it is kinda fun playing for a national title and bringing home of those monster championship rings! Wiggins could learn a lot in one year playing for Calipari and the other talented players he has recruited. Good luck young man, where ever you go!
I get what your saying. However, Cauley-Stein, Poythress, and Goodwin said that they might return for another season. It wouldn't be fair for James Young to come off the bench unless Poythress is planning to play in the nba. Look at the rosters for next season. G - Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harison, Archie Goodwin F - Alex Poythress, James Young, Julius Randle, Marcus Lee, Kyle Wiltjer C - Dakari Johnson, William Cauley-Stein
In my opinion, its a long shot since Randle chose KY. Michael Jordan is also trying to recruit him to UNC. Also, MSU is also making a late run at Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins want to play a lot of minutes since hes going to be the #1 pick in 2014.
I think Kentucky would be the best place for Randle. No one could afford to double team him there. If they did, they would get pounded by another super player. Calipari knows how to best use the talent he has, and prepares his players for the next level better and faster than any coach alive. He also knows how to get them to play like a team. Randle whould thrive in the dribble-drive. No doubt that with Randle, Kentucky would be playing for a National Title. They probably will anyway.
The high school class of 2013 is one of the more underrated in a long time Aaron Gordon is the NBA champion Joel Embiid is the MVP Julius Randle is in All-Star. Andrew Wiggins is also a NBA champion.
Wiggins gets the ball at 0:15 and it takes him 3 dribbles to get 3/4 the court distance. Plus he's high enough to dunk it at 0:19 That's insane athleticism
Andrew Wiggins is the best High School guard in probably 15 years. He'll average 25-30 points a game as a freshman in college and be the #1 pick. Doesn't matter what class he ends up in, he'll be #1 and then be #1 pick in draft. He's just that good.
I agree with you. If a player comes down the lane and karate chops a defender, of course its going to be called. That goes without saying. We are talking the use of the off arm here. Not a blatant offensive foul. I've seen Rajon Rondo not only use his off arm frequently proceeding to the lane but he also uses his elbows while driving to push off of defenders. Its never called. And if they were gonna call it on anyone, it would be him. Which brings me back to the 9% number.
Randle is just a physical BEAST. Reminds me of a more unstoppable lebron, at this age. Lebron wasn't as buff as randle at his age, he was kind of lanky like wiggins. But if wiggins can get some weight on him like lebron did, and if randle can get some range, these two can dominate the league for years...
I remeber on one of the megazines a few weeks back they said the same thing about Jabari Parker I hope they get a chance to play on another rather it be AAU, highschool, or College.
Julius Randle did the dam thing Wiggin lead his team n showed up when they needed him Skip Bayless may say he has no clutch gene but he did step up when his team needed him Julius Randle Was doing the dam thing the whole game
andrew wiggins reminds me of a young michae jordan in the form of a forward ...i think he is playing off raw talent this kid has the potential be a GOAT
These 2 guys have very different playing styles. wiggens is an athletic forward who can do it all but mainly relies on athleticism. Randle on the other hand is a more complete player imo, his size and strength are great. and his athleticism and ball handling skills are amazing for his size. wiggens did better in this tournament but imo randle is the best in 2013
FSU needs Wiggins but Wiggins does not need FSU. Wiggins needs a program that can take him to the next level. Nobody does that better than Kentucky. Plus, when you practice with the best, you get challanged and you get better. If he goes to KY people will not be able to double team him. There too many other good players to deal with. At FSU he will be a target of every defense, and forced to take bad shots or give up the ball. Plus, at Kentucky he has a great shot at a National Championship.
there were a couple plays where i thought that. but then it reminded me more of a grown man playing against boys. thats exactly how he needs to play with his body type.. and if he wants to excel in college
Every young kid dreams of the opportunity to play for UK, IU, Duke, UNC, UCLA, KU, etc. These programs recruit themselves regardless of who the coach is. And while I'd love for Wiggins to come down and give us a good season, I'd rather have a #25 guy come in and spend three or more years any day. Wiggins is just like 19 year old LeBron. And regardless of what team he goes to anywhere, no matter who is starting (UK included) the kid will play 30-35 minutes a game.
Randle should have post up more. dude's a beast down low and he's a lot more physical and stronger than Wiggins. both of them have promising futures though. Wiggins really athletic and Randle has that go hard attitude.
wiggins was toying with them clowns u kiddin bro.. he was scoring at will and was having a block party the one drive he blocked 2 people on back to back shots..
randle dominated wiggins in the post, randle looks like a pro player now, wiggins needs to bulk up he got pushed around by randle. randle will be the #1 draft pick!! and UKwill win their 9th title!! haters will hate, but UK is the greatest B ball program ever!!
Anyone here from Podcast P?
Both guys are crazy good!!! Can't wait to see how good they are in a couple years
Yea randle wasn’t lying😂😂
Wiggins was just more athletic than him at the time but randle is just bigger and stronger! Podcast was dope tho 🔥
I love the raw footage. Makes me realize how damn good these kids are since it's all from one game. Can't wait to use Wiggins in upcoming 2K games.
And now he has a ring
Bro predicted future
Die Hard UK fan here... but Wiggins is a once a decade type talent. That's not a slam on Randle... if not for Wiggins, Randle would be the No1 player in a LOADED class. They'll both be fun to watch this upcoming season. I'm still a huge Andrew Wiggins fan.
it took andrew wiggins three dribbles to get from one rim to the other rim started at 0:15
That was a great vid. There needs to be more of these
This was a great video....two young beast going at it...no trash talking..just battling!!!
I wanna see guys like Wiggins, Randle, and Parker be the guys who can lock up Lebron and KD mainly because it'll be fun as hell seeing some of the most dominant players getting owned by younglings lol. I don't know, I just like watching when good players destroy great players
Wiggins has a very clean no frills game, good stuff
Wiggins looks unstoppable. Better ball handler, shooter, finisher, defensively, athletically and only slightly behind in the post.
Both will be complete studs, but Wiggins just has that something
I was at this game, the place was packed. Wiggins impressed me, more than Randle did. Don't forget Wiggins is only a Junior this year. I will hopefully seem him next summer at the 2013 Peach Jam.

Both are just insane.

yea I like how humble he is, just like all of the others guys.
The big blue nation loves both of these guys! It would be great to see them both team up together and come to Kentucky. It would certainly open up some huge possibilites for these two very talanted players!
wiggins looks to be the next real thing, pure skill and athleticism. randle is currently the biggest skilled player in high school, he's gonna get bucket in any gym
Who’s here after the Paul George podcast with Julius Randle? 😅
raw footage is awesome
Great stuff!!!
Wiggins is just on another level. Both of these guys play with some nasty, which is nice to see, but Wiggins has megastar potential.
OMG, two beastly players.. I want to see them together in a team in future...
cant wait for the season to start so we can see both players, but mostly wiggins! rock chalk Jayhawk!
I agree with Thomas, and I'm a huge UK fan. I will say that the ACC only has one more championship than UK if we are being inclusive. Remember, one cannot live in the past. I'd say that the SEC's best and the ACC's best have generally been neck and neck for the past 4 years.
No doubt about it. He's on a completely different level.

two blocks in a row for AW was a nice beginning statement 1:36 . The dunk at the other end right after was the closer.
I love how Wiggins didn't showboat or anything after getting back to back blocks. I hope he stays this humble in the nba
Never changed
I've had the privilege to see both these guys a few times this season and as good as they both are, right now, there is NO QUESTION Wiggins is the better athlete and player. His IQ and ball handling are far greater and leaping ability, although they both have "bounce", wiggins surpasses him also. Randle has raw strength and incredible athletic ability but there really isn't much comparison
Wiggins is quick man
Randle, Wiggins, Harrioson twins -Kentucky's 2013 class is going to be historic!
I like how #30 plays the game raw with power... that's a guy who's solid for a career
First off, sportsace, John Wall when healthy last year and playing, the wizards had the 4th best wining percentage in the league.... Now, to my point, wiggins didn't get beat 1 on 1, he made way more defensive plays required at the NBA level.

Both are impressive but Wiggins stood out more this game.I feel Randle should have shot with his right hand when Wiggins blocked him.
In my opinion, its a long shot since Randle chose KY. Michael Jordan is also trying to recruit him to UNC. Also, MSU is also making a late run at Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins want to play a lot of minutes since hes going to be the #1 pick in 2014.
Randle got scared but Wiggins is quick as hell...
im here because of podcast p
The difference in skill and potential between Wiggins and Randle is amazingly HUGE.
Julius is stronger and more nba ready but wiggins has a muh higher cieling imo
holy crap, wiggins is so fast
that #22 is crazy
But both still great players, amazing at what parts of the game they know they can excel at!
Andrew Wiggins......WOW!!!
Wiggins is a guard/small foward. Randle is a Power Foward. He better dominate in the post.
Wiggins gave Randle the business on that block shot.
welcome to the andrew wiggins show
both these guys look like future NBA-caliber players especially Wiggins.
andrew wiggins a beast nuff said
I agree. Uk can have Randle. I want Wiggin's at UNC! Go Heels!
that's a great comparison. He also reminds me of David Lee.
He gonna go to unc you already know Andrew is a beast
I think Kentucky would be the best place for Randle. No one could afford to double team him there. If they did, they would get pounded by another super player. Calipari knows how to best use the talent he has, and prepares his players for the next level better and faster than any coach alive. He also knows how to get them to play like a team.

Randle is super physical, its cool to see that these days
that'd be a sick nickname. especially if he becomes a great clutch closer too
Andrew Wiggins is the best High School guard in probably 15 years. He'll average 25-30 points a game as a freshman in college and be the #1 pick. Doesn't matter what class he ends up in, he'll be #1 and then be #1 pick in draft.
He's just that good.

But if wiggins can get some weight on him like lebron did, and if randle can get some range, these two can dominate the league for years...
and Nerlens Noel is already a kentucky, if these 4 end up all in one team, kentucky will be unstoppable
I remeber on one of the megazines a few weeks back they said the same thing about Jabari Parker I hope they get a chance to play on another rather it be AAU, highschool, or College.
Randle was punking wiggins wiggins neck snapped back like a old starter hat
But did he swat Wiggins doe...
Wigs swatted Julius and no. 8 plus Wigs wins this game… watch Podcast P
this is a better video of what zion said
Wiggins smacked two shits in a row! Blocking with a 6'9 dude and his teammate.
Julius randle and Andrew Wiggins are both capable of being superstars in the NBA
What do you think about Andrew Wiggins ? I dont watch any Ncaa or high school games. I'm waiting for him in NBA.
It's very common for players with talent like andrew to be extremely obnoxious, but after watching videos of this kid its great seeing that he isnt.
that was a good game
Julius Randle did the dam thing Wiggin lead his team n showed up when they needed him Skip Bayless may say he has no clutch gene but he did step up when his team needed him Julius Randle Was doing the dam thing the whole game
Wiggins and Randle will join the greatest recruiting class known to man. Yeah.. they are uk bound.. hopefully of course.
both young and talented. right now wiggins is a lot better imo. in pro, it's a different story
andrew wiggins reminds me of a young michae jordan in the form of a forward ...i think he is playing off raw talent this kid has the potential be a GOAT
Wiggins has PRO type game already..... Randle is SOLID, but he lacks athletecism.... Big for High School, avg at next level......
Julius Randle is a hell of a lot more physical.. They both gonna fit right in with the NBA
great alley pass to end the game there...
These 2 guys have very different playing styles. wiggens is an athletic forward who can do it all but mainly relies on athleticism. Randle on the other hand is a more complete player imo, his size and strength are great. and his athleticism and ball handling skills are amazing for his size. wiggens did better in this tournament but imo randle is the best in 2013
Damn 1:59 He elbowed the fuck outta Wiggins lol that Z-Bo with athleticism type game haha
1:43
Julius Randle:
OMFG, he got hoops
He has a NBA body now, I think if he develops a more consistent mid range jumper then he he would become a bigger threat offensive wise
andrew wiggins is the best player in country no matter what age level
#1 and #2 picks in the draft here
Julius Randle is one tough playing dude.
wiggins +weights = unstoppable
FSU needs Wiggins but Wiggins does not need FSU. Wiggins needs a program that can take him to the next level. Nobody does that better than Kentucky. Plus, when you practice with the best, you get challanged and you get better. If he goes to KY people will not be able to double team him. There too many other good players to deal with. At FSU he will be a target of every defense, and forced to take bad shots or give up the ball. Plus, at Kentucky he has a great shot at a National Championship.
I agree. Hes a bigger Dwayne Wade which is just scary
Wiggins is the next big thing, they've been saying that for a shitload of players in the past decade but this team it's for real, this dude can play.
gotta hit that free throw at the end
Welcome Andrew! Rock Chalk Baby!!!
there were a couple plays where i thought that. but then it reminded me more of a grown man playing against boys. thats exactly how he needs to play with his body type.. and if he wants to excel in college
Wiggins is too nice
i like Andrew Wiggins skill
Every young kid dreams of the opportunity to play for UK,
IU, Duke, UNC, UCLA, KU, etc. These programs recruit themselves regardless of who the coach is.

wiggins was toying with them clowns u kiddin bro.. he was scoring at will and was having a block party the one drive he blocked 2 people on back to back shots..
6 years from now wiggins will be the best player in the nba
HEIR CANADA - THE FIRE RISES
randle dominated wiggins in the post, randle looks like a pro player now, wiggins needs to bulk up he got pushed around by randle. randle will be the #1 draft pick!! and UKwill win their 9th title!!
haters will hate, but UK is the greatest B ball program ever!!
