I don't think it's going too far on a limb to be a little suspicious of UTK's recruitment of Wiggins after he made such a strong appeal to get MSU removed from his blocked schools list.

It sounded like he really wanted to play for Grantham.

"When [Petrino] said Mississippi State, I was like, it had to be deeper than what it seems to be because Louisville doesn't play Mississippi State," Wiggins said. "It just so happened to be Mississippi State on there, once Coach Grantham left.

"I really don't know what's his state of thinking or why he chose to put Mississippi State on there. ... I have no idea why. It's really not fair."

So Friday, Wiggins made his case. And the Mississippi State restriction was lifted.
